North Dakota Museum of Art announces concert series in the garden – Grand Forks Herald

GRAND FORKS – The North Dakota Museum of Art on the UND campus has announced the programming for its “Concerts in the Garden” series this summer.

The series begins on Tuesday, June 25th with the band Glitterfox and continues with four more acts on select Tuesday nights through August 27th. Doors open at 5:30pm. Formerly Fiona will open the show at 6pm; Glitterfox will take the stage at 7pm.

Portland, Oregon-based Glitterfox has released five singles in six months under their new record label, Kill Rock Stars, with two more in the works. The band has grown steadily since their single “Drive,” released in August, highlighting the group’s “indie-rock cocktail that expertly balances nostalgic anthems with Southern sparkle,” according to the museum’s event announcement.

Tickets are $15 per person. Season packages not tied to a specific event are $62.50. Tickets are available at www.ndmoa.com, at the museum on campus, or at the entrance. Tickets are non-refundable. Children under 12 are free.

Guests are asked to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on in the museum’s scenic sculpture garden.

Everyone is welcome to purchase and enjoy hot grilled food, evening specials, beer and wine. Outside food and beverages are not permitted. Smoking is not permitted on campus.

All concerts will take place whatever the weather, but will be cancelled if conditions do not permit an outdoor performance. Concerts will not be moved indoors.

Contribution

Musicians and music groups from across the country are invited to perform as part of this annual series.

Other musicians whose performances are planned this summer:

Contribution

July 9 – The Talbott Brothers of Portland, Oregon are a singer-songwriter duo that contrasts blood harmonies and left/right-handed guitar playing, combining rock, blues and pop with honest storytelling.

Contribution

July 16 – Chastity Brown, who lives in Minnesota but has roots in Tennessee, grew up surrounded by country and soul music. She played saxophone and drums in the gospel church of her youth and discovered her singing voice and passion for music when she played her first show in Knoxville, Tennessee. Then it was on to Minneapolis, where she has appeared on NPR’s “Favorite Sessions,” CMT, American Songwriter, the London Times, Paste Magazine and more.

Contribution

July 30 – Tennessee Jet, from Nashville, Tennessee, is a one-man band that crisscrosses the country playing shows full of fuzz guitar, primal percussion and songs reminiscent of country and raw rock and roll. He traveled the interstates of Oklahoma with his father, who rides wild horses, and his mother, who barrel races. Country music was constantly on the radio back then, and those songs – honest, soulful classics by icons like Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam, both of whom he later toured with – left a lasting impression.

Contribution

August 27 – Born and raised in the small coastal town of Santa Margarita, California, Jade Jackson grew up in a house without a television or internet. The family record player was her main source of entertainment, influencing her through a range of artists from Johnny Cash and Hank Williams to The Smiths, The Cure and various punk bands. Now she feels most comfortable on stage, sharing lyrically crafted stories with her fans.
