As a special education teacher\, he is articulate and intentional. As an advocate for justice in education\, he is passionate. But as an artist and musician\, better known by his stage name Possessed By Paul James\, his voice is expressive\, holding rest and action in tandem. In truth\, “Paul James” is a fiction\, a combination of the names of Wert’s father and grandfather. Those who have seen him perform\, however\, would agree he seems possessed by something.\n \n\nAfter 20 plus years working within the realms of special education & advocacy work\, Konrad Wert continues the balance with yet another upcoming album while in the classroom. Continuing to raise a family in Texas & working a 50 hr work week within public education\, Wert has still been able to release 5 full length albums\, two of which topped Bluegrass Billboard charts in 2013 & 2020. Possessed by Paul James’s upcoming 6th album\, titled Fighting For Our Own Survival\, set to release “sooner than later”. \nPlacaters are a twin-cities based 4-piece with a sound richly steeped in Americana\, roots\, soul and blues which produces a frenzied form of lounge music covering the gap between legends like Sinatra and Waits into new territory like Rateliff and Cauthen.For fans of Garage/Blues/Spaghetti/lounge/Americana   URL:https://noboolpresents.com/event/231006-vfw-possessedbypauljames/ LOCATION:Uptown VFW\, 2916 Lyndale Ave S\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55408 CATEGORIES:Concerts,Uptown VFW ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noboolpresents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Your-paragraph-text.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231006T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231006T220000 DTSTAMP:20261026T052740 CREATED:20230816T135120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230818T202208Z UID:1959-1696615200-1696629600@noboolpresents.com SUMMARY:"Horn-ucopia" Fall Funk Fest DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n \n \n\n \n \nunder the canopy at The Hook and Ladder Theater \n\nDoors 6:00pm\nMusic 7:00pm\n21+\nGA: $15 ADV / $20 DOS\n\n*Does not include feesNO REFUNDS \nThank you to our supporting partners:Jack Daniels\, Summit Brewing\, Slane Irish Whiskey\, KFAI – Fresh Air Community Radio\, Mpls / St Paul Magazine\, Nobool Presents\, Arbeiter Brewing\, Moon Palace Books\, The Hub Bike Co-Op\, The Hive Realty\, Lake Street Council\, & The MN State Arts Board \n\n COVID-19 Policies\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\nRoots\, Rock\, & Deep Blues\, KFAI Community Radio & MN Blues Society Presents\n“Horn-Ucopia” Fall Funk Fest\n\n \nThree funky and soulful horn-based bands will keep you dancing all night long.  We start off outdoors “Under The Canopy” with sets by Purple Funk Metropolis and McNasty Brass Band.  Then\, when we hit our outdoor curfew\, we kick it over to our indoor theater stage with Porky’s Groove Machine.\n \n— \n7pm – Purple Funk Metropolis (Outside Canopy Stage)8:30pm – McNasty Brass Band (Outside Canopy Stage)10pm – Porky’s Groove Machine (Inside Theater Stage) \n\n—\nPurple Funk Metropolis is a charismatic seven-piece instrumental band with a raw sound inspired by soul\, jazz\, funk\, and more. Their origins trace back to jazz classes at the University of Minnesota. They recorded their first EP Morsels in 2017 and have continually been performing\, recording\, and rehearsing since\, which has allowed for their sound to mature and evolve.  \n \n\n \n\nMcNasty Brass Band is a collection of Minneapolis/Saint Paul based horn players and percussionists that fuse the Minneapolis sound with the spirit of New Orleans. The outcome of this fusion is hard-hitting dance music and high-energy live shows. Each player works tirelessly outside McNasty Brass Band as a side-man\, some with national and international touring acts. \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \nPorky’s Groove Machine has been getting both funky and silly since the fall of 2011. While their costumes and sense of humor show their willingness to not take themselves too seriously\, their dedication to high-energy and high-entertainment performances is anything but laughable. With classic covers\, quirky originals\, and synchronized dance moves (for band and audience alike)\, their live shows are a delight for crowds of all ages. \n \n\n—–The Award-Winning* Under the Canopy series at The Hook & Ladder Theater returns with its uniquely seasonal urban footprint to the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis in 2023. *Voted Best in MN 2021 by StarTribune readers.—–The Hook has committed to having a food truck Under the Canopy throughout the 2023 season for our guests.Come hungry and enjoy dinner with the show!\n  URL:https://noboolpresents.com/event/utc23-horn-ucopia/ LOCATION:The Hook and Ladder Theater\, 3010 Minnehaha Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55406\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Hook & Ladder Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noboolpresents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/231006-UTC-Hornucopia-2160x1080-Eventbrite-Website-Twitter.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231005T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231005T223000 DTSTAMP:20261026T052740 CREATED:20230829T214153Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230906T160321Z UID:1992-1696534200-1696545000@noboolpresents.com SUMMARY:Resonant Rogues & Steam Machine DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n \n \n\n \n \nThe Hook and Ladder Theater \n\n\nDoors 7:30pm :: Music 8:00pm \n\n\n21+\n\nGA: $15 ADV / $20 DOS\n\n\n COVID-19 Policies\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n \n \n\n \n \nThe Resonant Rogues & Steam Machine\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Resonant Rogues’ dark Appalachian folk paints a picture of their lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina and on the road. Anchored by the songwriting duo of Sparrow (banjo\, accordion) and Keith Josiah Smith (guitar)\, they’ve traveled the byways and highways of America and crossed the oceans with instruments in tow. From riding freight trains to building their own homestead\, the pair are no strangers to blazing unconventional trails. At once rooted and adventurous\, each song tells a story of real experiences\, friendships\, and challenges. The Rogues just wrapped up a record in Nashville with renowned producer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes\, Hurray for the Riff Raff).\n“Their intense cohesion is so intertwined that it feels like they’re playing with one pair of hands.” –No Depression \n“Soaring\, haunting vocals” -Lonesome Highway—–\nSteam Machine is a midwest based bluegrass accompanied old time music project fronted by award winning in-demand Minneapolis fiddler AJ Srubas and Twin Cities old time music & dance instigator Rina Rossi on guitar. A specially curated shortlist of stellar musicians perform with the band on banjo and bass\, and when possible\, mandolin. While not purists\, Steam Machine does listen closely to the “old stuff” and strives to capture the essence of what makes these tunes and songs special\, as they hear it. The project continues to be an evolving vehicle for playing music they love and honoring the brilliance left behind by old time heroes like Lyman Enloe\, Cyril Stinnett and more. Originally formed in Minneapolis in 2017\, Steam Machine brought to the national stage a midwest influenced string band aesthetic that didn’t draw such hard lines between bluegrass and old time music. Smooth powerful fiddling\, driving three finger banjo\, front-of-the-beat rhythm backup combined into a  “suspiciously entertaining” sound. \n  URL:https://noboolpresents.com/event/resonantrouges-steammachine/ LOCATION:The Hook and Ladder Theater\, 3010 Minnehaha Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55406\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Hook & Ladder Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noboolpresents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/RRSM-BANNER.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231004T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231004T223000 DTSTAMP:20261026T052740 CREATED:20230908T202457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230908T202457Z UID:2016-1696447800-1696458600@noboolpresents.com SUMMARY:The Runaway Grooms (CO) + TWINE DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n \n \n\n \n \nThe Hook and Ladder Theater \n\n\nDoors 7:30pm :: Music 8:00pm \n\n\n21+\n\nGA: $8 EARLY / $10 ADV / $15 DOS\n\n\n COVID-19 Policies\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n \n \n\n \n \nThe Runaway Grooms (CO) + TWINE\n\n\n \n\nThe Runaway Grooms\, who are poised to ride even higher into the musical stratosphere\, team up with local high flyin’ Minneapolis jam-band\, TWINE for a night of psychedelic rock!\n \nMuch like the Allman Brothers\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, the Atlanta Rhythm Section\, and the Grateful Dead\, The Runaway Grooms paint a spacious soundscape that expands in ever-widening circles\, inviting us into warm\, enveloping musical landscapes that traverse jazz\, rock\, and folk. Their newest album\, This Road\, captures the energy that the Colorado-based band brings to live performances\, each song stretching out along a path filled with melodious meanderings and percussive pathways that dance around a central musical theme. With the tracks more or less recorded live in the studio\, the true spirit of their music is revealed\, one that reflects the musicians desire for their songs to live organically and for the flow of the band’s energy to be uninhibited; listening to the songs on This Road is like being in the front row at one of the band’s shows.\n \n\nTWINE is Will Effertz | Kevin Fowke | Scott Yonke | Kelly Cook URL:https://noboolpresents.com/event/runawaygrooms-twine/ LOCATION:The Hook and Ladder Theater\, 3010 Minnehaha Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55406\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts,Hook & Ladder Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noboolpresents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/231004-TheRunawayGrooms-TWINE-2160x1080-Eventbrite.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231004T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231004T210000 DTSTAMP:20261026T052740 CREATED:20230907T190224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230907T190224Z UID:2012-1696446000-1696453200@noboolpresents.com SUMMARY:Space Between DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n \n \n\n \n \nthe misson room The Hook and Ladder Theater  \n\n7:00pm – 9:00pm\nFree\n\n  \n  \n\n COVID-19 Policies\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\nSpace Between\nMonthly peer support group for music industry professionals.

Reborn for the band’s 40th Anniversary\, core members Todd Menton and Drew Milleradd drummer Mo Engel and violinist Haley Olson to the lineup\, moving forward with a wealth of new material\, as well as looking backward to reframe old tunes. \n\n \nBob Mould of Hüsker Dü was among those who praised the band’s first self-released LP (“Even the Fiddles Rock\,”) and the Hüskers invited the band to play an early show at Goofy’s Upper Deck. Today\, the band’s star is still on the wall at First Avenue.\n \nBoiled In Lead have been innovators in bridging traditional music from many cultures with the sound and attitude of a rock band. A Boiled In Lead concert combines darkly-tinged folk ballads and originals with instrumental dance music from Ireland and elsewhere. Winners of multiple Minnesota Music Awards\, the group has toured throughout the US and in Europe. \n \nEnthusiastic\, powerful\, technically brilliant\, playing a wealth of instruments with extreme dynamics\, Boiled In Leadroutinely demolishes genres with its highly-identifiable sound.\n \n “…the prime purveyor of a style of Celtic music infused with punk-rock attitude\, developing over the years with a hard-driving swirl that combined Irish folk with heavy rock and elements of styles from all over the world. …one of the best bands Minnesota’s ever produced. …even without amplification\, Boiled In Lead can summon up furious punk-folk energy.”  The Onion\n—\nÁit Ait (Irish for “strange place” or “uncanny valley”) are an experimental folk duo focused on reinterpretations of traditional songs – dark and deep\, bright and sparkling; full of noise and life. Based in Minnesota\, Áit Ait (pronounced “ahh-tch eye-tch”) is Aja McCullough (song) and Patrick Maun(sound). The two set out to explore the living tradition that is Irish folk music – ever evolving and always changing\, a solid footing set in the past but looking towards the future.

Those musicians almost always were drunk and quite often tried to play with us our rock songs. It was a nightmare\, and I hated them all!” But that all changed when Vorobyev heard Chicago. He became an instant fan. “I loved so much the brilliant mixture of rock guitars\, drums\, and jazz horns with bright vocal harmonies\,” he said.  In 2014\, Vorobyev decided to indulge his love for the band by gathering a few fellow musicians in a studio to record a video of them playing his favorite Chicago tune\, Brand New Love Affair. \n\nNo charts or scores of the song existed so Vorobyev transcribed the tune by ear. The result was a YouTube video that quickly went viral. Since then Leonid & Friends has recorded videos of other Chicago hits including Make Me Smile\, 25 or 6 to 4\, and Saturday In The Park. All total the videos have received more than 50 million views. Also\, Leonid & Friends has recorded two albums showcasing its tribute to Chicago. The process of getting each tune just right is a painstaking labor of love. In addition to scoring and arranging\, Vorobyev oversees mixing and mastering of each song. However\, he credits his highly skilled bandmates for making each tune sing. “All of my musician friends are highly professional\,” he said.  However\, Leonid & Friends hasn’t been satisfied with merely connecting with fans through videos and recordings. In early 2019\, the band embarked on its first tour outside of Russia that had fans dancing in the aisles at sold-out shows in New York\, Los Angeles\, Chicago\, and Florida. Two other scorching coast-to-coast U.S. tours followed that same year. “The fans were so eager to see us that some traveled from as far as Hawaii and the Philippines not mentioning flying across the U.S .and driving for hours to attend our shows\,” Vorobyev said. “I was expecting a warm greeting but I didn’t expect such a warm reception and with so much love and gratitude for us.” In Los Angeles\, the band met its musical heroes\, founding members of Chicago\, keyboardist Robert Lamm\, and drummer Danny Seraphine as well as Michelle Kath Sinclair\, daughter of late\, great Chicago guitarist Terry Kath. “We were so thrilled that Robert\, Danny\, and Michelle took the time to visit with us\,” Vorobyev said. “It was an experience that we will cherish and remember forever.” When Leonid & Friends isn’t touring\, band members are in the studio in Moscow immersing themselves in Chicago’s storied catalog of hits and deep tracks while preparing for the next tour. In September of 2018\, the band recorded its first song from legendary supergroup Earth\, Wind\, & Fire and also paid tribute to the band Blood\, Sweat & Tears as well. Borrowing a line from one of Chicago’s biggest hits\, “it’s only the beginning” of great things from Leonid & Friends.

Highly influential to many of the bands who have followed in their path\, Agent Orange have always stayed one step ahead. Their strong connection to the Action Sports world has resulted in their music providing the soundtrack to numerous major motion pictures\, video games\, surf and skate films\, television\, and live sports events. \nThe last of the true independents\, Agent Orange have managed to stay true to their roots\, while always moving forward. Powered by a loyal following built up through years of explosive live performances all over the world\, Agent Orange continue to deliver their Fullblown-Supercharged-Punk-Surf Sound on an international basis\, with a never ending schedule of tours in the United States\, Canada\, South America\, Europe\, Australia\, and Japan. \nC’mon down front and expose yourself to Agent Orange. \nWhat if…What if you could take the attitude and raw rock and roll fury of the Sex Pistols and fuse it with the sass and fun of the Spice Girls? This was the question Hairy Scary Spice (Mike Muellenberg) asked himself\, and the rest of the world in 2017. Ginger Binger Spice (John Risdon) and Maybe Baby Spice (Michael Fairchild) were brought on board with Shorty Sporty Spice (Mike Van Dyle) as the genesis of The Spice Pistols. In their first year as a band they performed on Americas Got Talent\, and were summarily x’d out of existence by Simon Cowell.He relented that the Spice Pistols sounded better than the original. But still\, fuck you Simon!Over the next few years the band went through a few drummers and has worked with James Lightbody\, Dider Suarez\, Dave Klein\, Rick Agnew\, and Jim Isaac. They played shows in the Southern California area as well as recording and releasing a demo. In 2020\, the core line up added Mosh Posh Spice (Doug Walker) and began touring. \n  URL:https://noboolpresents.com/event/230926-vfw-agentorange/ LOCATION:Uptown VFW\, 2916 Lyndale Ave S\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55408 CATEGORIES:Concerts,Uptown VFW ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noboolpresents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/230926-VFW-AgentOrange-2160x1080-Eventbrite.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230923T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230924T020000 DTSTAMP:20261026T052740 CREATED:20230815T233113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230815T233113Z UID:1955-1695506400-1695520800@noboolpresents.com SUMMARY:Cali Vs.

The “Westies”\, as they soon became known\, started out as an intensely chaotic\, Stooge-y hard rock band\, but later evolved into a hard-to-define amalgam of indie\, rock\, roots\, punk\, and funk\, driven by a ferocious\, lusty energy that infected any audience they came into contact with at one legendary live show after another. The Westies have released 3 studio LPs along with a handful of singles and EPs over the years – and there are at least a few albums worth of material that got lost along the way – but their enduring legacy is a well-earned reputation as one of finest live bands to ever come out of the Land of 10\,000 Bands. \n \nComa Club from Minneapolis is Christy Costello (Monica LaPlante\, Pink Mink\, Butchers Union\, Von Bondies)\, Orion Treon (Extraterrestrials\, Monica LaPlante)\, Monica LaPlante (Extraterrestrials\, Christy Costello) and Austin Cecil (Extraterrestrials\, Monica LaPlante\, Christy Costello). You get four bands in one. Christy. Orion. Monica. Austin.\n\nEmerging from the wreckage of his childhood band The Pharmacy\, Scott Yoder arrived clad in a black cloak\, stomping to the beat of his own sparkling tambourine. Over the course of two LPs & half a dozen singles he has toured the world\, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft.
