The Roe Family Singers
The Roe Family Singers are a nine-member Mississippi headwaters music ensemble based in Minneapolis, MN. Led by Kim Roe (Best female vocalist, City Pages/Village Voice) and Quillan Roe (Accident Clearinghouse), the band blends characteristic old-time sound with subversive and punk influences.
The band and family of fans have been regularly filling Minneapolis’ 331 Club every Monday night since 2005. In 2010 the band opened for both Doc Watson and Del McCoury, each playing at the Cedar Cultural Center; the Grascals at the MBOTMA Winter Weekend; and Jim Kweskin and Geoff Muldaur at the National Jug Band Jamboree in Louisville, KY. In 2011 the band was selected for the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians and has previously won the title of “World's Best” at the 29th annual Battle of the Jug Bands. With a mix of original music and contemporary takes on old-time tunes, every performance raises a ruckus.
Showtime starts at 7:00 p.m. with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $10.00 for Adults and $6.00 for Children 6 – 12 and will be available at the door. Season Passes honored for this event.
