From Minneapolis

From last.fm:
Kid Dakota is, predictably, a band with roots in South Dakota. Darren Jackson, who migrated to Minneapolis (where he still resides) after college, built Kid Dakota's sound upon his mid-90's self-produced bedroom recordings. Eventually, he met drummer Christopher McGuire, and music began to flow. Kid Dakota's notoriety increased when the 5 song EP So Pretty caught the attention of Low's Alan Sparhawk.

Alicia Wiley is a rare talent with amazing command of the piano, her voice, and the art of songwriting. Whether she's playing an intimate solo set or pounding it out with her band, Alicia Wiley puts on a show that defies her years. Although she's gathering comparisons to the likes of Fiona Apple and Diana Krall, Alicia has a sound all her own. One moment she's banging out piano riffs that get jazz aficionados bopping their heads and the next, she's belting out choruses that leave pop music fans delighted.

Sadistik
From Seattle, Washington
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
Sadistik is not just another rapper, he is an artist in the deepest sense of the word. Hailing all the way from the scenic gloom of Seattle, Washington, Sadistik has quickly gained the hearts and ears of listeners by opting for a more personal and heartfelt brand of music by carefully circumventing the limiting cliches of rap music --- all before the age of 25. By combining caustic honesty, lyrical wit and technical innovation, Sadistik has crafted a sound that he can truly call his own. Read more about Sadistik on Last.fm.
