“LETS ALL POLKA TODAY”

DANCE LESSONS ON DVD

Chicago (PMN)-Dancers Matt and Elaine, known to many as the top polka dancers in the country, have just released an instructional learn-to-polka DVD entitled "Let's All Polka Today!" The DVD is 60 minutes long and is both instructional and entertaining. It features three sections of polka dance instruction from basic to advanced sequences with spins and turns. In addition, there is a bonus of "Polka in Paradise" line dance with instructions and group demonstration, plus a video clip of Matt and Elaine's high-energy performance dancing. The DVD also includes a special appearance by 16-time Grammy Award winner Jimmy Sturr and features the music of The Jimmy Sturr Orchestra.
Matt and Elaine have appeared on many TV shows: "The Rachael Ray Show," "Good Day New York," and are the featured dancers of the Jimmy Sturr Show on RFD satellite television. They have been teaching and performing across the country and continue to take the polka to new and diverse audiences.
The DVD is step-by-step, easy to learn, fun and entertaining. It is available via the Polonia Today Online website at "www.poloniatoday.com/store-extras/index.html"

This week's events
One of the most underappreciated artists around, and yet among the most adored by his fans, Vic Chesnutt (7.30pm Thur 11/19) writes of the fragility of life, the vagaries and randomness of existence, and the bizarrely skewed people who populate our world. Easy listening he ain't necessarily so (or, as Pitchfork puts it: "Vic Chesnutt could rarely be accused of having a sunny disposition, but even considering that, his latest album features some truly harrowing material"), but all the same, Vic is charming (if sometimes crass), unflinchingly honest and epic--and tonight he has a full band of worthy collaborators and co-conspirators, including Guy Picciotto (of Fugazi) and members of Thee Silver Mt. Zion/godspeed you! black emperor and Witchies -- the team behind 2007's North Star Deserter, as well as Vic's latest, At The Cut.
"Lyrically, Chesnutt has converted his psyche into something between a short-story collection and the final act of King Lear." (The Onion AV Club)
"Vic Chesnutt's music always seems to be approaching beauty, just as his lyrics are forever closing in on meaning. It's up to the listener to push the songs over the edge, and it can be immensely satisfying when you do." (Washington Post)
You can listen to a few tracks, and read more reviews of At The Cut here
Setting the stage nicely, expect stripped down somber Southern folk from opener Liz Durrett, whose Uncle Vic (yes, that Vic) produced her first two albums.
Sponsored by vita.mn

Let the dance party begin with The Brass Messengers and NOMO (8pm Fri 11/20)! The Brass Messengers deliver on the promise of playing whatever sort of music they can fit into their horns. Tonight, they'll have some special guests along with the North Star Roller Girls, Cabezon puppets, and Chicks on Sticks. NOMO is a raucous Afrobeat/Electronica-ish collective from Michigan, should be a great warmup for the party.
Sponsored by 90.3 and 106.7 KFAI

Another terrific children's entertainer stops by in the form of two-time Grammy-winning Bill Harley (11am Sat 11/21), a singer, spoken word artist, and NPR commentator with a delightful sense of humor and positive outlook on life. Sponsored by 90.3 and 106.7 KFAI. Target Family Series at The Cedar

Boiled in Lead (8pm Sat 11/21) got a shot in the proverbial arm when uber-guitarist and all-round good guy Dean Magraw joined them a few years back. Now, the band is reciprocating with this benefit for Dean, unable to work due to a bone marrow transplant earlier in the year. A treat to hear BiL anytime, this night promises to be extra special. They'll even get some help for a few songs from Ruth MacKenzie! There'll be a silent auction, and opportunities to send your money straight to Dean--and all proceeds from the evening go to Dean, so make this your time to show your love for Dean.

Spend Sunday evening with a cosy 416 Club hosted by the venerable Dan Newton aka Daddy Squeeze (7.30pm Sun 11/22), with special guests Davina & the Vagabonds, Spider John Koerner, and the Daddy Squeeze Band. There'll even be some tap dancing from Keane Sense of Rhythm. All this for only $5? You betcha! Sponsored by 90.3 and 106.7 KFAI

You might not recognize the name (yet), but Harper Simon (7.30pm Tues 11/24) has been inevitably thrust into the music business all his life, growing up as the son of Paul Simon, and immortalized in these lines from Graceland:

"My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland"

Harper is now 37, just released his debut solo album of country-folk songs (with dad pitching in on a couple of songs, along with a raft of other top talent), and immediately been thrust into the limelight with appearances on Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Sounding uncannily like his father on many tracks (not surprising, perhaps, given the only slightly less than 50% of Paul's DNA he inherited), and yet with his own voice emerging clearly from the enormous shadow that must have been cast over him, Harper is an artist to watch--and see now in a small venue, while you can. Opener Peter Wolf Crier is the appealing new folk-pop project by Peter Pisano, formerly of The Wars of 1812.

Upcoming events

That's all for this week. See you at The Cedar soonand remember, bring a friend or three!

To: worldwidepolkas@...


Dear Cedar Patrons,

Below are some updates from The Cedar including a special event announcement and an important fundraising opportunity.

Doc Watson Performance

I am pleased to announce that The Cedar will host a special performance by American guitarist and seven-time Grammy award winner Doc Watson on Saturday, May 15th, 2010. Because of his acclaimed work and infrequent performances, this will be the highest profile show in Cedar history. Unrivaled programming like this is made possible with support from donors and patrons like you. To say thank you, were offering our donors and newsletter subscribers the opportunity to purchase tickets before the official on-sale date. Tickets are $65 for general admission and $80 for center section seating. Click here to purchase tickets (limit two per customer) with the access code leader.

Staycation Campaign: Thank you!

Meanwhile, dont forget about the plethora of other amazing events at The Cedar (thecedar.org/event). Our current fundraising campaign, Cedar Staycation, promotes the idea that Cedar events are as much fun as a vacation but without the expense and travel time, which is especially helpful during a recession. And when you make a donation of at least $50, you get 2-for-1 admission on select concert events like those listed here. Because of the recent recession, foundations assets are down, and many have pulled their arts funding; this means your donation to The Cedar is especially important this year. Supporting The Cedar demonstrates that the Twin Cities arts scene is important to you.

A great way to support The Cedar

Make a donation to The Cedar through GiveMN.org this TUESDAY NOV 17th, and your contribution will help The Cedar to raise more! The Saint Paul Foundation, Minneapolis Foundation and Bush Foundation have committed $500,000 in matching funds for Minnesota non-profits; The Cedar gets a portion of this for each donation made to us through GiveMN.org on Tuesday starting at 8am. Whats more, the organization with the largest number of donors will get an additional $5,000, so any amount helps!

Please consider making a donation this Tuesday, Nov 17th at GiveMN.org, and forward this email to friends and family so they can join the cause!

Thanks for your support. See you at The Cedar,

Adrienne Dorn, Director of Development

“LETS ALL POLKA TODAY”

DANCE LESSONS ON DVD

Chicago (PMN)-Dancers Matt and Elaine, known to many as the top polka dancers in the country, have just released an instructional learn-to-polka DVD entitled "Let's All Polka Today!" The DVD is 60 minutes long and is both instructional and entertaining. It features three sections of polka dance instruction from basic to advanced sequences with spins and turns. In addition, there is a bonus of "Polka in Paradise" line dance with instructions and group demonstration, plus a video clip of Matt and Elaine's high-energy performance dancing. The DVD also includes a special appearance by 16-time Grammy Award winner Jimmy Sturr and features the music of The Jimmy Sturr Orchestra.
Matt and Elaine have appeared on many TV shows: "The Rachael Ray Show," "Good Day New York," and are the featured dancers of the Jimmy Sturr Show on RFD satellite television. They have been teaching and performing across the country and continue to take the polka to new and diverse audiences.
The DVD is step-by-step, easy to learn, fun and entertaining. It is available via the Polonia Today Online website at "www.poloniatoday.com/store-extras/index.html"
