Eric Kalenze
2024-02-29 20:00 - 23:00 | The Dubliner Pub, 2162 University Avenue, St. Paul, 55114, United States
After spending most of the 90s fronting Twin Cities rockers Third Wheel, singer-songwriter Eric Kalenze dropped his loud guitars in 2000 and headed for his basement studio. From there (and working under the moniker Gawker Slowdown) Eric produced five full-length records, placed numerous tracks on local and regional compilations, scored an independent film, and became a fixture in the Cities singer-songwriter scene. Mostly retired from writing and performing since the late 2000s, Eric still enjoys penning a song or playing a show every now and then.

Emmy Woods was born and raised on an old dirt road in small town North Dakota and currently resides in Saint Paul, Minnesota. With hints of country, folk, and blues, Emmy’s songs showcase both her knack for storytelling, her strengths in musical artistry, and her impressive vocal abilities cultivated by years of practice. Audiences enjoy a collection of tunes that are at once soft and strong, fragile and fierce.

Bundle & Go
2024-02-14 18:00 - 21:00 | The Dubliner Pub, 2162 University Avenue, St. Paul, 55114, United States
Bundle & Go is the duo of David and Suzanne Rhees, two stalwarts of the Twin Cities traditional music scene. They play an eclectic mix of vigorous Irish dance tunes, slow listening pieces, and unusual songs, with a generous sprinkling of tunes from related traditions — Cape Breton, Welsh, Scottish, French-Canadian, Métis, Appalachian and more.
Their instruments are equally diverse: Suzanne plays Irish flute, whistles and button accordion, while Dave plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, ukulele and feet.
Suzanne has played with accordion master Paddy O’Brien’s group, O’Rourke’s Feast, and Dave is a veteran of the band Roisin Dubh. They both were members of Contradictions, a contradance band, and La Traversée, a French-Canadian group. They founded the Keegan’s Irish Pub jam session in Minneapolis and have taught seminars and workshops on the roots and branches of Celtic music for the Irish Fair of Minnesota, the Minnesota Old Time and Bluegrass Association, and the Celtic Junction Arts Center.

Neighborhood Quartet
2024-02-04 17:00 - 19:00 | The Dubliner Pub, 2162 University Avenue, St. Paul, 55114, United States
Remember sitting in your living room as kid? The shag carpet tickling the back of your legs. You were chewing on your Marathon bar and sipping from a can of Rondo Soda while watching your favorite TV show… was it CHiPs or S.W.A.T.?… Doesn’t matter they both were great and so was the music in them. The Neighborhood Quartet might just take you back to those times with their groovy 70’s theme song inspired tunes, but sorry Rondo is long gone, but I’m sure you will find something from the bar to crush your thirst!
The quartet’s unique instrumentation brings a sound that is ethereal and groovy. They blend pop and soul influences with roots and jazz to bring a fresh take on tunes that fit perfectly with whatever you are drinking.

Steve Roehm – vibraphone
Dan Schwartz – lap steel, guitar, vocals
Nick Salisbury – bass
Greg Schutte – drums
