SUMMARY:China Rider (A Grateful Dead Experience) presents Prankin' on the Patio | Day Block Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Get on the bus and join this merry band of pranksters as we dance\, shake\, twirl\, and groove to the timeless wonders of Grateful Dead music performed by China Rider. We’re closing out our Decade of Dead Summer with an evening of live music on the patio at Day Block Brewery in downtown Minneapolis\, MN.\nDoors open 6:00pm with music starting promptly at 7:00pm (Day Block Brewing is open all afternoon) \nChina Rider is a high-energy\, five-piece rock & roll band dedicated to bringing the music of the Grateful Dead to life. More than just a tribute act\, China Rider recreates the magic\, excitement\, and improvisational spirit of an authentic Dead show—right in your backyard.\nDreamed up by Logan Thomas in 2015\, the band began as a group of passionate local musicians tackling the challenge of capturing the Dead’s legendary sound. After nearly a year honing their craft in The Bunkhouse\, they finally took the stage in June 2016 in downtown St. Cloud\, MN—and haven’t looked back since. Since then\, China Rider has been electrifying audiences across Minnesota\, playing everywhere from music festivals to major concert venues. Want to catch us live? Check out our Events page to see where we’re headed next! \nSo\, what’s in a name? China Rider comes from one of the most iconic Grateful Dead medleys: China Cat Sunflower flowing seamlessly into I Know You Rider—a staple in Deadhead culture. And just like that\, a tribute band was born!

SUMMARY:Jam Lab | Candeza Music
DESCRIPTION:The Jam Lab is a free monthly musical improvisation workshop for all ages and skill levels. Each session will feature diverse practices aimed at inviting collaborative musical creativity. We’ll play improv games to explore the varied forms music takes\, sit in deep listening to sound and silence\, talk about our personal experiences with music\, improvise freely\, and compose musical pieces based on shared psychology as well as chance. \nThe musical improv “games” are participatory exercises with minimal prompts that serve as catalysts for collaborative improvisation. In a freeform manner\, we’ll decide on musical rules for each exercise\, then attempt to perform them in sound. These are experiments with no set outcome; the rules will chart a direction to move toward\, then we’ll see where the improv takes us. A wealth of possibilities for inspiration will be provided: cards containing different forms and techniques\, dice and timers to select parameters\, loop pedals and drum machines to cast sonic palettes\, and others. \nDrawing on free improv music traditions\, these sessions will focus on personal expression and experimentation\, as opposed to technical skill and cultural knowledge. Inclusive free play attitudes of “yes and” and “any sound could be music” will be the guiding principles. People of all musical backgrounds are encouraged to participate. Join us in investigating the dynamics between music\, creativity\, and life through improvisation. \nThese sessions are for: \n· People of all ages and backgrounds seeking a fun activity centered on play \n· Musicians new to improvisation who do not know where or how to start \n· Experienced improvisers looking for new directions\, approaches\, or inspiration \n· Individuals craving an outlet to connect with others through creative expression \nStandard session flow: \n· Discussion about music and improv \n· Deep listening in silence \n· Warm-up exercises \n· Music games \n· Free improvisation \n· Deep listening in silence \n· Reflections \nSample activities: \n· Rhythmic grooves \n· Collaborative soundscape creation \n· Call and response duets \n· Drone jams \n· Composition of complex pieces out of simple elements \n· Lyrical mad libs \n· Much more! \nIdeas we’ll explore: \n· Low-pressure\, easy ways to connect with others through sound and music\, regardless of background and skill level \n· The values of musical expression and experimentation\, as opposed to technical mastery \n· Exploring the permeable boundaries between music\, sound\, noise\, and silence \n· Listening deeply to the present moment\, both externally and internally \n· Connecting with our bodies\, emotions\, and intuition through music \n· Trust\, acceptance\, and encouragement of other people’s creative ideas

SUMMARY:Minneapolis Farmers Market | 312 E Lyndale Ave N - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:As the largest farmer-managed market in the state\, we serve as a community resource\, a meeting place\, a tourist draw\, and most importantly\, a place to access Minnesota’s greatest selection of fresh produce\, plants\, and locally made products. \nOur roots in Minneapolis started in 1876 at the corner of First Street and Hennepin Avenue. In 1937\, our current flagship market opened at Lyndale and Glenwood Avenue north\, marked by the three signature red sheds that still cover our market. \nWe support over 100+ vendors who alternate the use of our 170 stalls.
