Guitarist Robb Henry is perhaps best known for his work with Parisota Hot Club, a band he formed to explore the gypsy jazz stylings of French guitarist Django Reinhardt in 2001.
Live sets by the RHT are a melting pot of styles steeped in blues, jazz and ’60’s pop music. Familiar melodies, unexpected excursions, and sonic surprises reminiscent of vintage psychedelic Brit-Rock, all inhabit a fluid, musical landscape. Retro noire style movie themes, à la Henry Mancini and others, selections by Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles are standard set features.

Leslie Rich and the Rocket Soul Choir
2026-05-14 20:00 - 23:00
Leslie Rich (vocals, guitar, keyboards) grew up in Northern Ireland, listening to a mix of indie rock, acoustic songwriters and traditional Celtic music. Inspired by artists like Luka Bloom and Throwing Muses, Leslie became the principal songwriter, singer and guitarist for bands such as Emily Ryder, A Little Of The Ready and the Celtic folk band Hounds of Finn, recording on various labels including Immortal Recordings, Time To Be Proud Records, New Folk Records and Loud Folk Records.
He founded the Rocket Soul Choir in 1994, mainly as an acoustic response to the heavy, guitar-driven, Irish bands cropping up at that time. Even while Leslie recorded solo albums, played in other projects and relocated to Minneapolis, the Rocket Soul Choir continued in various configurations over the years–always with the mission to create stripped-down rock. The band has released four albums, including the 2016 EP Kidder’s Son, which received high praise on both sides of the pond, and their new album The Butcher Boy – the first featuring the current lineup.

Mac and Cheese
2026-05-15 21:00 - 2026-05-16 00:45
Pete McCauley and Tim Cheesebrow are a duo from the Twin Cities, bringing old tunes to life and having a great time doing it.
Pete McCauley (vocals, mandolin, guitar): Pete has played in numerous bands over the years. A founding member and the original guitarist for the rock trio Eddie Mac, he spent a few years traveling the country, earned a record contract with SPV Records in Germany, and released two albums with the independent label Mud Hut Records. Pete also writes material for the Hounds of Finn. Pete met Tim a few years back and asked if they should learn some pub tunes and make some noise together…the rest, as they say, is history. Not the kind of history that would make it into any sort of book, but since it is in the past, it technically is…history.
Tim Cheesebrow (guitar, vocals, occasional mandolin and pennywhistle): Tim is primarily a singer/songwriter. He’ s got 6 or so albums under his belt, several tours and an extensive solo performance career. He’s always had a spot in his heart for traditional Irish and American folk songs, and jumped at a chance to play this music with Pete. He’s the founder of Discover Music, a non-profit that teaches kids to write songs as a healthy mode of self discovery and expression, and is the author of “Songwriting for Wellness: Using Music to Heal the Mind.”

Phil Heywood
2026-05-17 17:00 - 19:00
Phil Heywood plays fingerstyle guitar with a bluesy swing and a bucketful of whatever it takes to turn an instrumental piece into an arresting lyrical narrative. His lucid playing encompasses the down-home rhythmic groove of a Mississippi John Hurt or Leadbelly, and the sheer fluidity and melodic flair of such contemporaries as Leo Kottke. The internationally renowned Kottke, in fact, once handpicked Heywood to tour and perform duets with him. A soul-satisfying instrumentalist, Phil draws listeners in with his voice as well, singing in a warm, plainspoken baritone that blends smoothly with his rock-solid guitar work.
