WE ARE BACK WITH THE FOUR
MEMBER AMERICAN ROOTS REVIEW.
WE HAVE
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
TELL US THE STORY, HOW DID YOU
ALL GET TOGETHER IN 2013?
YOU HAVE DONE YOUR OWN THING
SEPARATELY.
AMERICAN ROOTS REVIEW GOT
STARTED TEN YEARS BACK.
RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL ROOTS
OF THE FIRST GROUP.
GREAT GROUP.
HOW DID YOU GUYS ALL GET
TOGETHER?
HOW DID YOU GATHER THIS GROUP?
WE ARE ALL OLD FRIENDS.
IT IS AN EXCUSE REALLY TO GET
TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS AND
COMMUNITY.
WE WERE ALL FRIENDS.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO
STRENGTHEN THE TIE THAT BINDS
THIS QUILT OF AMERICA TOGETHER
THROUGH BRINGING TOGETHER
BLUES, FOLK AND ROCK.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
FRIENDS AND BE IN THAT BAND
FIRST.
THEN YOU START TO HATE EACH
OTHER.
BUT NO, YOU GUYS SOLIDIFIED THE
OPPOSITE.
THAT'S GOOD.
WE ARE HAPPY FOR THAT.
THIS IS THE MUSIC.
THESE THREADS THAT ALL OF YOU
BRING TO THE TABLE, IT IS THE
MUSIC THAT TELLS THE STORY OF
THIS COUNTRY.
WE BRING THE TOGETHER SONGS
FROM MARVIN GAYE TO DONNY
HATHAWAY TO PETE SEAGAR.
HE SAID THE WORLD WOULD BE
SAVED BY A MILLION SMALL
THINGS.
ONE OF THOSE SMALL THINGS IS
MUSIC.
BUT IF MUSIC COULD JUST SAVE
THE WORLD IT WOULD JUST BE
THAT.
ALL OF THESE ARTISTS HERE ARE
ENGAGED IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
THAT'S A TIE THAT BINDS US
TOGETHER.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE PLACE
WE LIVE AND TRYING TO MAKE THE
WORLD A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
JAZZ THE ONLY SOLELY
AMERICAN ART FORM.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PLAY IN
THAT PLACE LIKE THAT TO YOU
GUYS?
I WOULD SAY IT IS A GREAT
PRIVILEGE.
WE FEEL VERY PRIVILEGED.
THERE ARE NATIONAL ARTISTS THAT
DO THAT.
TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM IT IS AN
AMAZING CLUB.
THE SHOW IS A BLAST.
IT IS VERY UPTEMPO.
THE DAKOTA JAZZ CLUB IS THE
PLACE.
SATURDAY IS THE NIGHT.
TWO SHOWS.
7:00 AND A 9:00.
TICKETS ARE $30 IN ADVANCE.
YOU CAN GET THEM AT THE DOOR.
GO TO WCCO.COM/LINKS FOR MORE
INFORMATION.
IN THE 9:00 SHOW YOU WORK BLUE.
IT IS A FILTHY SHOW.
THAT'S RIGHT.
JUST KIDDING.
THAT'S THE SHOW TO COME TO.
THE 9:00 SHOW.
THINGS GET LOOSE AND IT GOES
LONGER.
BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY, WE'LL
45
DEGREES WARMER THAN WE'LL BE
FRIDAY MORNING.
