Landmark Center and the Minnesota Music Coalition, with additional support from KFAI Radio, present Landmark LIVE in the F.K. Weyerhaeuser Auditorium at St. Paul's historic Landmark Center.
Concerts begin at 8 pm and are preceded by a cocktail hour at 7 pm, where audiences can enjoy complimentary refreshments and a cash bar.
Dan Newton will welcome Pat Donohue and Richard Kriehn on stage with him for this special concert.
Dan Newton has been dazzling audiences with his creative accordion style for over 40 years. His fresh approach to the much-maligned squeezebox and his mind-boggling repertoire of both original and traditional material will change the mind of the most hardened accordion skeptic. He draws influences for songs and tunes from such sources as French Musette, Swing, Cajun, Jug band blues, Celtic and Scandinavian music. Newton entertains and also enlightens his audiences with stories and colorful anecdotes about the accordion and his experiences making a living playing the instrument he loves. He has produced more than 25 albums for himself and has appeared on recordings by other artists such as Garrison Keillor, Son Volt, The Proclaimers, Peter Ostroushko, Prudence Johnson, and Pat Donohue. He has performed at The Lincoln Center, NY, The Kennedy Center, Washington DC, accordion festivals in Vienna, Austria, Kaustinen, Finnland, Winnepeg, Canada, San Antonio, Milwaukee, and Cotati, CA. Newton was a frequent guest on A Prairie Home Companion and spent much of his time playing accordion with his group Café Accordion Orchestra.
