Legacy has been playing traditional Irish music in the Twin Cities and elsewhere since 2000. You’ve probably seen or heard Legacy if you’ve been to the Landmark Center in St. Paul or the Irish Fair of Minnesota at any time in the last two decades. Legacy also regularly plays at local pubs, wedding receptions, private parties, corporate events, county fairs, music festivals and other types of events that want to showcase lively, engaging, authentic Irish music.
Legacy’s repertoire includes a wide range of Irish instrumental music (jigs, slip jigs, reels, marches, polkas, waltzes, airs, etc.) and an equally broad and diverse collection of Irish vocal music (sailing songs, rebel songs, comic songs, ballads, etc.), many of which feature 3- and 4-part harmonies.

Jake La Botz Book Release Party
2026-05-03 17:00 - 19:00
Your Place in This World: A Novella & Stories by Jake La Botz
A quirky Chicago kid raised by his junkie dad stumbles upon an unusual Maxwell Street bluesman; a Twelve-Step wannabe swaps addictions to match the support groups that meet in his favorite recovery room; a case of mistaken identity shines a bright light on a city-dweller’s dark past; a self-help seeking couple discover the help is more maddening than their “issues”; a tchotchke thief is overtaken by a force inside a stolen object. What does it mean to find your place in this world? Jake La Botz burrows his way deep into the challenges of revelation, showing how change can bless us and curse us, and ultimately save us.
“Jake La Botz writes like the bastard spawn of Denis Johnson, Hubert Selby, and Flannery O’Connor. His prose is as haunting and deep as the dark, beautiful, twisted heart of life itself. Your Place in This World is the kind of book you don’t just read, you stop people in the street and tell them they have to read. It’s that kind of good. I loved these stories.” -Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

Pop Wagner
2026-05-07 17:00 - 19:00
Pop has quite the reputation as a singer, picker, fiddler, lasso twirler, poet and downright funny guy.
He appeared quite frequently on Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion during the show’s formative years and for the last five decades he has worked his cowboy magic throughout 44 states and ten countries.
His cowboy anthems crackle with the warmth of a prairie campfire and his old time fiddle tunes set toes a-tappin’ while he serves up spellbinding rope tricks and tall stories — all with a good dose of friendly humor.

Ray Barnard
2026-05-10 17:00 - 19:00
Review of Ray Barnard & The Reverberation’s album Tinted Windows To the Soul by Joe Robbie Luke – (The Roots & Funky Numbers):
At first I thought – Sweet, a converted blue-eyed souler proclaiming his authenticity. Wrong. Thankfully, Ray Bs got his own bag. Vocally, he’s drunk deep from the Bill Withers-Pops Staples well understated (and underrated). Song-wise, hes kinda Mayfield, kinda old Nashville, kinda Gamble & Huff, kinda his own deal. There s also this subtle sense of classic reggae percolating in the production. This gives it a much different slant than retro stars Sharon Jones, James Hunter, and Amy Winehouse. The clever use of horns and MPC loops adds cool neo-soul flourishes. My faves are: ‘Carolee’ and ‘Classified,’ a dense, funky, stonewall to a nosy ex-lover. I was intrigued by the protest song in reverse, Deportation Day, and loved the spooky, visceral Race with the Devil. Overall this CD is a shining jewel from out of left field.

Doug Collins
2026-05-14 17:00 - 19:00
Called “one of the most brilliant songwriters to emerge from the Twin Cities in nearly two decades” by southernminn.com, Doug Collins’s hooky mix of Beatle-esque pop and classic country are highlighted in his energetic shows (both solo and with his crack band, the Receptionists), soulful singing, and honest, emotional songs. His last two CD’s were voted “Best of the Year” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune and his most recent, Good Sad News, was was voted #3 best American release in Spain by Ruta66 Magazine.

Phil Heywood
2026-05-17 17:00 - 19:00
Phil Heywood plays fingerstyle guitar with a bluesy swing and a bucketful of whatever it takes to turn an instrumental piece into an arresting lyrical narrative. His lucid playing encompasses the down-home rhythmic groove of a Mississippi John Hurt or Leadbelly, and the sheer fluidity and melodic flair of such contemporaries as Leo Kottke. The internationally renowned Kottke, in fact, once handpicked Heywood to tour and perform duets with him. A soul-satisfying instrumentalist, Phil draws listeners in with his voice as well, singing in a warm, plainspoken baritone that blends smoothly with his rock-solid guitar work.
