God Johnson
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
God Johnson was a rock/jam band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. GJ was formed by former Big Wu lead guitarist Jason Fladager along with Jimmy Rogers on bass, and Scott Roerick on Keyboards in 2003. Later that year drummer Royce Rock and Tim Carrow on Keyboards also joined GJ. Now a full five piece outfit, GJ still didn't have a full time viable lead vocalist (most of the vocal duties were being handled by Fladager and Roerick). So in early 2005 they added lead vocalist/keyboardist Tim Carrow. Read more about God Johnson on Last.fm.
Alicia Wiley
From Minneapolis
First show since since March 10, 2006 • First show supporting a touring headliner
From last.fm:
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.
