Widespot Performing Arts Center is thrilled to offer an additional band to their spring lineup on April 11th with Jambalaya. This band combines talents from Minneapolis and Maiden Rock, WI to offer an outstanding mix of some funky rock music and chilling soul melodies. Think rock from Little Feat and the Allman Brothers with a mix of blues of Muscle Shoals and Memphis added. This group will drive you to your feet – our dance floor is ready!
Widespot’s remaining spring show will feature City Mouse on May 9th. Mankato’s City Mouse has been performing for thousands of fans in the Upper-Midwest for over fifty years. The current lineup has been playing together since 1986, playing a musical blend of country, bluegrass, country-rock, and five-part a cappella vocals. Instrumentation includes harp, electric guitar, piano, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums, banjo and pedal steel.
Every member of City Mouse has been a finalist for a MN Music Award in various individual and group categories; the band was inducted into the MN Rock/Country Hall of Fame in 2007. It’s Mother’s Day weekend – bring your Mom and enjoy this MN treasure together. Visit Widespot’s website for details, tickets and more: widespot.org, or by calling: 715-448- 0536. Tickets will be available at the door for an increased fee. Widespot is now able to accept credit cards for all onsite payments.
