Sherry Minnick
2023-10-26 17:00 - 19:00
Sherry Minnick is lucky to have come from a singing family. She made her first recording in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, at the age of four, and turned professional with The Debonaires at the age of 14. Living in the Twin Cities since 1974, Sherry has sung with a number of bluegrass and old-time bands, including with R. Dixon Smith and Sandra K. Njoes as Haywire.
She danced for two years with the Wild Goose Chase Cloggers, and spent five years playing for the cloggers in the Uncommon Loon String Band. She appears on a recording, “The Uncommon Loons,” made for a tour of France in 1996. In a duo with John C. Van Orman she sang music of the British Isles as well as Appalachian ballads, gospel shouts, and John’s original songs. She is featured on John’s recording, “Love, Liquor, and the Lord,” released in 2009. She also performed with Josephine Davis as The Brother Sisters, an old-time duet.
At times Sherry performs with Rachel Nelson, and appears on her recordings “I’m Awesome” and “Change Is a Thousand Hearts.” She also worked with Rachel and Kate Mackenzie as The Virtue Sisters. This hot trio can be heard on Arne Fogel’s album “You Call It Madness.”
Today, she concentrates on the unaccompanied singing of traditional music in North America and the British Isles, and the songkeepers’ function which this music represents. A recording of her favorite unaccompanied ballads, songs, and hymns, “Look Ma, No Hands,” was released in 2006. She played on “The Minnesota Fiddle Tunes Project” released in 2012, and appears, in 2014, with Shawn McBurnie (and the slight exaggerations) on “Fearsome Critters: songs about fanciful creatures from Northwoods Folklore.” She sings with Curtis and Loretta on their CD “When There’s Good To Be Done,” 2015.
Sherry worked five years with singer/songwriter Jackson Buxton, and is currently in a duet with Phil Nusbaum of KBEM’s Bluegrass Saturday Morning fame.

Randy Casey
2023-10-19 17:00 - 19:00
Even if you’ve never heard of Randy Casey, chances are you’ve heard him play guitar.
His music has appeared on soundtracks on The Fall Guy and other television shows, as background tracks on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and other radio shows, and on the soundtracks of several independent films. He’s done commercial work for mega-brands including Target, H&R Block, Levi’s, Mattel, Pep Boys, Vidal Sassoon, and many others. And blues aficionados will remember him as Shannon Curfman’s music director when the young star broke onto the scene.
Through all the twists and turns, he’s been steadfastly making original music, and his most recent album, I Got Lucky, is launching him to international radio play and press acclaim.
“Hypnotic, mood-altering and wholly original, Say No More plays like a vintage Leo Kottke record as channeled through a Martian jug-band.” – Jim Walsh – St.Paul Pioneer Press

Growing up in the midst of hardrock bands makes you take to traditional music differently! Flashy sounds, big beats and original arrangements of traditional material… in short: Nú Trad!
It is in this sense that Sebastian Zimmermann (vocals, fiddle), Alex Otto (accordion), Thomas Gurke (guitar) and Christoph Zimmermann (percussion) [unfortunately Christoph will not be present at the Dubliner] approach the music from global Celtic regions such as the Balkans, Brittany, Ireland or Galicia in live vibrant sets and modern arrangements, using metal riffs or house-beats and thereby creating a unique blend of folk music to make the crowd dance! Thus, their two albums “Nú Trad” (2017) and “In Your High Honour” (2020) were also largely recorded in live-sessions. Check out more on our website at: drowsymaggie.de
