The Current Road Trip: Austin, MN with Tapes 'n Tapes

The next stop on The Current Road Trip series will be June 4th, 2011 in Austin, MN with Mary Lucia and Tapes 'n Tapes at the Paramount Theater.

For those unfamiliar with The Current Road Trip, it's an effort to bring the best and brightest of the Twin Cities' musical acts to greater Minnesota. We started in October 2010 with Jeremy Messersmith in Duluth; and in November, we took Roma di Luna to Mankato; and most recently, Dessa Wowed Rochester in April.

About Tapes 'n Tapes

Minneapolis based Tapes 'n Tapes includes Josh Grier on guitar and lead vocals, Matt Kretzmann on keyboards and horns, Erick Appelwick on bass guitar and backing vocals and Jeremy Hanson on percussion. They got together in 2003 and amassed "tapes 'n tapes" of experimental jams, and declared themselves a band by that name. They are a band that prides themselves on making music for all the right reasons — fun and pure love for music. Their most recent album, Outside was released in January of this year, and they will appear at this year's Rock The Garden.

About the Venue

The Paramount was built as an atmospheric theatre — which means that when you enter you are transported to a different time and place. Imagine a quaint Spanish Villa under the stars of a twilight blue sky. Imagine reds, burnt oranges, maroons, deep greens. This is the only one of four in the state of Minnesota and the only one outside of the Twin Cities to be used as originally intended. The Historic Paramount Theatre is owned by the Austin Area Commission for the Arts (AACA), an independent, 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. The AACA's mission is "a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and development of the fine arts and the on going preservation of the Historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, MN."
