Friday 5/8 - The New Entangled Particles ($15 Cover)
By Aster Cafe
DOORS @ 7:30pm SHOW 8:30pm -10:30pm Pat Frederick aka “Papa Fred,” joins local music luminaries Donnie La Marca, Dr. Dave Schmalenberger and Nick Salisbury for the highly anticipated Aster debut of The New Entangled Particles. The New Entangled Particles bring a sharply curated bag of musical tricks, hand picked for beauty, brains & humor. (Think Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science” as a Cuban montuno… or “On The Street Where You Live,” with a slightly dark Danny Elfman Beetlejuice lilt.) It is a decidedly joyful outré musical romp through the back alleys of world-beat, post-pop, jazz, exotica, Broadway and funk. Frederick’s vocals and humorous storytelling ring with lived experience, while his electric violin playing rides a muscular rhythm section consisting of some of MN’s finest veteran musicians: Donnie La Marca - world class jazz pianist with the Blenders, Mick Sterling and TC Jammers. Nick Salisbury - first call MPLS bassist with Mike Munson Trio, the Neighborhood Quartet has toured internationally with Ryan Bingham and Ryan Fallon. Dr. Dave Schmalenberger - first call percussionist holds a PHD in music, teaches at several prestigious Twin Cities colleges and has performed internationally with numerous jazz greats, including Marilyn May. Pat Frederick is a MN Music Award recipient for best violinist. He is in the MN Music Hall of Fame as well as the MN Rock and Country Hall of Fame. He has received the National Parents Choice Award, an ISES Award, a Telly and the MN Music Award for Best Band. Touring nationally behind; “The Daisy Dillman Band” (David Z, Producer / Sound 80, Mpls MN.) and “Loving the Night Away,” (Rick Hall, Producer / Fame Studios, Muscle Shoals Al.), he cowrote the single “Loving the Night Away,” charting 46 in the Billboard Hot 100. Pat has performed across the US and has been back up musician for the likes of David Byrne, Kenny Loggins, Michael Johns patfrederickmusic.com $15 Cover in Advance and Day Of Show
