Rockin' Daddy & Big Daddy Country Blues Duo

Dan Schwalbe & Steve Grosshans Duo at White Bear Lake VFW

Or is it the Back Shed Lounging Whiskey Hogs? Yes, a duo. This is a rare occurrence, maybe your only chance to hear us with Dobro, Acoustic guitar etc.. Blues, Country Blues, Country, lots of stuff you won't hear us play electrified. It's a very comfortable venue on the shores of White Bear Lake. The food is good (I hear the Rueben is something special), There's a Bloody Mary bar to sooth you're early Sunday ills and it's beautiful setting overlooking the marina on White Bear Lake. C'mon out and have a relaxing Sunday afternoon. We might even do some sing-alongs, ya just never know. — from Dan Schwalbe

Sunday, June 14th from 2 to 5 pm. at the White Bear Lake VFW, 4496 Lake Ave S, White Bear Lake, MN. The White Bear Lake VFW is on the Map.

New Italian Restaurant in former Brewbaker's Location

Willie Walker will bring his soulful sound and his six-piece band to D' Avita Ristorante in North St Paul this Friday, June 5th from 9 pm. to 1 am. Owners Dave and Adelaide McGuire have transformed the interior of the restaurant into a bright and inviting space (a far cry from the black dungeon of Brewbaker's). The food is good and moderately priced. The menu features family recipes for Italian sausage and tiramisu. D' Avita is on the Map. — Jake Jacobson
