Set Dancing with the Twin Cities Ceili Band providing music and Tim McAndrew teaching and calling the dances. Ceili dancing is already popular at The Pub on Wednesday nights, but we hope to revitalize Set Dancing in the Twin Cities, starting with bi-weekly Monday night events.

Charlie Parr
2023-12-14 17:00 - 19:00
An easily confused and very shy individual, Charlie Parr has been traveling around singing his songs ever since leaving Austin Minnesota in the 1980’s in search of Spider John Koerner, whom he found about 100 miles north at the Viking Bar one Sunday night. The experience changed his life, made him more or less unemployable, and brings us to now: 13 recordings, 250 shows a year or more, 200,000 miles on a well broke in Kia, and a nasty fear of heights. Resonator fueled folk songs from Duluth Minnesota.

I started playing bass as a freshman in high school, and started fooling around with the guitar while attending local bluegrass jams. I kind of eased into old time around 1998, and joined the Wild Goose Chase Cloggers in 2002, which later led to the Mill City Grinders. I currently play with Pert Near Sandstone, the Town Hall Stompers, Pig’s Eye Landing and The Tune Jerks, among others.

A fixture on the Minneapolis music scene for more than two decades, Darren founded two critically-acclaimed bands (Kid Dakota and The Hopefuls, aka The Olympic Hopefuls), released ten albums, and won three Minnesota Music Awards, including “Artist of the Year.” He has headlined nearly every venue in the Twin Cities metro area, including First Avenue, the Fitzgerald Theater, and Orchestra Hall, and has toured extensively in the United States and Europe, sharing stages with rock and roll icons such as Soul Asylum and The Cars as well as indie rock stalwarts like LOW and Trampled by Turtles. He has also scored a film starring Mickey Rourke and Frieda Pinto and had songs placed in television shows such as Num3ers and The O.C.
In addition to crafting some of the most unique music to come out of the Midwest in recent decades, Darren also performs a carefully curated selection of covers that pay homage to the best in classic country (i.e., Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Strait, etc.), classic rock (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, etc.), 80’s college rock (R.E.M., The Replacements, Violent Femmes, The Cure, etc.), and modern indie/alternative (Wilco, The Shins, Nirvana, Weezer, etc.).

Their instruments are equally diverse: Suzanne plays Irish flute, whistles and button accordion, while Dave plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, ukulele and feet.
Suzanne has played with accordion master Paddy O’Brien’s group, O’Rourke’s Feast, and Dave is a veteran of the band Roisin Dubh. They both were members of Contradictions, a contradance band, and La Traversée, a French-Canadian group. They founded the Keegan’s Irish Pub jam session in Minneapolis and have taught seminars and workshops on the roots and branches of Celtic music for the Irish Fair of Minnesota, the Minnesota Old Time and Bluegrass Association, and the Celtic Junction Arts Center.
