SUMMARY:The High 48s at Common Ground - December 4th
DESCRIPTION:The High 48s are returning to Common Ground for our December show this year and you won’t want to miss it! Come on out for a great evening of bluegrass cheer! \nSince forming in northeast Minneapolis in 2006\, The High 48s have been making music that combines the soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude. They’re a band with one foot in tradition and the other in the world of music today\,  and one of the very few who can find an overlooked bluegrass classic in a song by M. Ward or the Clash then throw down hard on a standard by Bill Monroe. The High 48s are also a band of songwriters. Here\, too\, they take a modern approach\, heeding the well-worn advice to writers: write what you know. Their songs ring true to their lives as northern city-folk rather than an imagined “sweet\, sunny south” of coal mines and dark hollers. \nRefreshments will be served following the concert.Adult tickets are $17 in advance online or $20 at the door. Tickets for kids aged 6-12 are $10.

SUMMARY:Maygen & the Birdwatcher at North Folk Winery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an outdoor concert at the beautiful North Folk Winery! The music starts at 7:00 pm\, but come early to get a good table and to order delicious wood-fired pizza or snacks and your favorite beverage. Or bring your own lawn chairs for “custom seating.” It’s going to be a great night! \nPresale tickets are $17/adults and $10/kids (6-12). Tickets at the gate are $20 for adults and $10 for kids. \nThe Americana folk band adventurously blurs the sounds of country\, bluegrass\, folk\, and blues. Lead singers Maygen Lacey\, and Noah Neumann intentionally work to draw on their vastly different musical influences and vocal styles to bring a fresh and unexpected mix of songs to light. From beauty to grit\, sadness to silliness\, the common thread is that this crew loves music\, and playing it together\, and it shows.

Whether he is playing solo with just a couple guitars or with the full band\, he will engage you with his stories\, his smooth vocals\, and his heart that sings through every note. He is a thoughtful and playful songwriter that takes what he does seriously\, while at the same time\, not taking himself too seriously. “Music is meant to be fun. It just so happens that fun sometimes comes in the form of a heartfelt lyric and melody\, or a ridiculous anecdote in between songs.

SUMMARY:Fendrick & Peck in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 27th at 7:00 pm for Common Ground Concerts’ winter show with Fendrick & Peck! Tickets are $17 for online presale or $20 at the door. Kids age 6-12 are $10. Ticket link is below. General admission seating in the sanctuary with doors opening at 6:30 pm. \nMadeline and Brian (Fendrick & Peck) are a Minnesota based acoustic duo. You might have heard their music riding a ribbon of wind from a barn concert or surfing the waves to the mainland from a tiny island off the coast of Maine. You might have heard it coming from your neighbor’s living room or wafting out of an opera house. It may have accompanied you on a trek to a marsh or danced along with you in a pub in England. This exquisitely crafted music is new folk…rich in its love and connection\, tender in its love and grief\, and solid in its originality. There’s more to an evening with Fendrick & Peck\, however. Along with the music come two quirky and charming individuals…a loving couple\, tired parents\, growing people in an ever changing yet ever the same world. Come and experience the variety of offerings. You’re sure to have a good time!

SUMMARY:Faith and the Arts Forum - Emily Anderson & Sarah Elizabeth Riche
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 12th for a presentation on how spirituality inspires their art by Emily Anderson & Sarah Elizabeth Riche.  The two artists will be presenting at 11:00 AM\, but get here early. \nA little about Emily Anderson and Sarah Elizabeth Riche \nEmily Anderson is an impressionist landscape painter who works from her cozy studio in Marine on St. Croix\, Minnesota. Always curious\, she loves learning about biology\, the interplay between place and emotion\, and the innate desire within us to seek beauty and adventure. Emily paints the forests and bodies of water of the northern Midwest\, playing with color and shape to provide a bright\, cheerful perspective of the natural beauty of our sacred spaces. Emily uses unexpected colors to represent these complex landscapes\, surprising the viewer with a splash of vibrancy that is often not noticed until the individual components of the painting are each taken in fully\, and hopes that you can find a little bit of the unexpected to fall in love with. \n  \n  \n  \nSarah Elizabeth Riche is a multimedia artist from The Bluegrass. She is fascinated with pastoral subjects\, and seeks to convey their beauty\, whimsy\, and humor through her paintings and drawings. Her affection to create stems from her fondness of God’s creative works and gratitude for who He is and all He has done. She considers her life full of grace and grit\, in just the right amounts\, and hopes you find great joy in the giving and receiving of her art. \n  \n  \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Maygen & the Birdwatcher in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Coming off the successful release of their “stunning” (Americana UK) debut full-length album\, Moonshine\, which earned them Midwest Country Music Awards for both Album of the Year and Americana Artist of the Year\, Maygen & The Birdwatcher are poised for big things. Described as “an exciting goulash of Kacey Musgraves\, Chris Stapleton\, Florence + The Machine\, and Joe Cocker” (MostlyMinnesota); what began as a duo quickly grew into a highly versatile 6-piece that showcases distinctive songs\, fantastic harmonies\, and tight musicianship with shared lead vocals and two songwriters. They adventurously blur the sounds of country\, bluegrass\, folk\, and blues – keepin’ it all fresh. With the versatility to play in a number of stage configurations ranging from an intimate duo or trio to their boot-stomping full band setup\, Maygen & The Birdwatcher can charm a broad range of audiences. From beauty to grit\, sadness to silliness\, the common thread is that this group loves music\, and playing it together. It shows. For this performance at Common Ground Concerts\, Maygen & the Birdwatcher will appear in their 3-piece format. Come on out and hear them!

SUMMARY:CG Concert Series: Fendrick & Peck
DESCRIPTION:Fendrick & Peck (Madeline Fendrick and Brian Peck) are adventurous and curious people who have put together their own variety show of songs\, poems\, and stories. Their music\, though familiar and comforting in sound\, is noted for its exquisite harmony\, lyrics\, and composition with a certain raw imperfection that helps you feel at ease in the world for a little while. Their lyrical content centers on the rebellious messages growing in opposition to our cultural narrative; perhaps the answers we seek actually are in peace in wildness\, accepting our authentic selves\, and love of the finest kind.
