The Keystone Musical Heritage Series begins this fall with sponsorship from the Minnesota Blues Society and the Minnesota State Arts Board. The series features performances on the first Thursday of each month by established and emerging Twin Cities musicians. We kick off the series with blues musicians who have their own unique angle on a style of music that continues to breathe life into the local music scene.

The band features the vocals of Everett and Kathy Smithson, who perform zydeco, blues, Tex-Mex and alt-country originals that have made them a staple of the Minnesota music scene for over 18 years. Kathy Smithson’s accordion and Everett Smithson’s harmonica create the band’s signature sound along with the renowned guitar of Jeremy Johnson and the stellar upright bass of long-time Twin Cities bluesman Bill Black.

Concerts are free, but tips for the band are encouraged!

Keystone arts funding is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
