    This is an informal show - the music will be sort of a backdrop for a hanging out crowd, or so I've heard. Come for some of it, or come for all of it. Come eat and drink and meet some new people. Bring cards and cribbage boards to use while you socialize and listen. Ginkgo's suggested donation for the night is $5, but I'm not really doing this for the love of music rather than money. I should be playing a few covers in addition to a whole bunch of originals.

    Saturday night specials that week:

    Caffeine IV's - $5
    A lock of my beard - $10
    Improvised song about you - $20
    Getting to hear me play at the venue where it all began - priceless

    PS: Small confession - I made all of that up.

    When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson, and Jack White, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears, sees, and thinks about the very things hes writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set, the Ben Daniels Band cuts through with their originality, musicianship, and a sound that spans Americana, Blues, Jazz, and Rock.

    The concert portion of the eventing will an unplugged round-robin with Pop Wagner, Jack Torrey and Page Burkum followed by a dance featuring both the Cactus Blossoms and Pop.

    "... there's still a lot of vintage twang in the Twin Cities, courtesy of the Cactus Blossoms. The Minneapolis group, fronted by a pair of brothers, harkens back to the roots of country with their earnest songs and pristine harmonizing."
    - Chris Roberts - Minnesota Public Radio

    Honky tonk harmonies on a warm summer night... It's the sound of THE CACTUS BLOSSOMS.

    Brothers JACK TORREY & PAGE BURKUM sing songs of the people in a country and western style. Songs of love and of love gone wrong. Of life and death, and the great beyond. The guitars strum while the fiddle takes a lead. The steel guitar cries, and the bass walks up the street.

    Based in Minneapolis, the band features the fine talents of MIKE "RAZZ" RUSSELL on the fiddle, LIZ DRAPER on the upright bass, and RANDY BROUGHTEN on steel guitar.

    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 four 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.
