“Minnesota’s acoustic music master” (Jon Bream, Star Tribune) and Emmy Award-winning acoustic tunesmith, Michael Monroe, presents an evening of favorite tunes by folk/pop singer-songwriter James Taylor. “You’ve Got A Friend” is the first song Monroe sang professionally in ’72 at Asbury Park in NJ for 4,000 attending the music fest. Expect to hear the best of James Taylor with songs like “Fire & Rain,” “Shower The People,” “Carolina On My Mind,” “Traffic Jam,” “September Grass,” “Secret of Life,” “Blossom,” “Sunny Skies,” “Sweet Baby James,” “October Road” and of course, “You’ve Got A Friend.” Taylor has always been a huge inspiration to Michael and a perfect fit for CDT’s Concert Series.
From vinyl to digital, Monroe is celebrating his 50th year performing acoustic music for his profession. He plays hand-crafted Seaton guitars, which are “works of art,” and made of 200 year-old reclaimed wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. His rich vocals and crystal/bamboo flutes showcase his signature mellifluous sound.
Michael Monroe returned to the Twin Cities following his 28 years on the North Shore of Lake Superior and he presented Log Cabin Concerts monthly in his cabin on the shore for the past 17 years which were featured on KSTP’s Jason Davis’ On The Road and in Lake Superior and Cabin Life Magazines. Monroe’s award winning instrumental soundtracks have been featured on PBS/CBC, Toronto Enviro/New York Indie Film Fests in the documentary, “Chased By The Light” presenting Jim Brandenburg’s stunning photography.
Noah Hoehn is known for his versatile and distinctive harmonica playing with his music being heard on NPR and MPR. His unique solo show featuring marimba, harmonica and Indian dhol drum, has been featured on PBS’s “Minnesota Original”. The Minnesota native is also a three-time winner of the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians. He continues to tour the country playing colleges and universities with his show.
