ABOUT THE SHOWOne of the longest-running rock bands in the Twin
Cities, Boiled in Lead, return for their anniversary performance at
The Cedar!
Founded in 1983, BiL are Todd Menton (vocals, guitar), Drew Miller
(bass), David Stenshoel (fiddle), and Michael Bissonnette (drums,
percussion). With both an extensive catalog and fresh material
bubbling under the surface, BiL take chances with the music,
constantly looking for new ways to play music from Ireland and
elsewhere. Rock’n’reel... Punk-folk... Country music from many
countries... BiL play fiddle, guitars, bass & drums with loads of
power and emotion. Always reaching for new tunes (and new ways to play
old tunes) tonight’s music is guaranteed to twist and turn from
quiet to loud, folky to noisy, droning to danceable.
For 2020, this annual tradition will start with brief cameo sets from
projects featuring individual band members.

ABOUT STELLAROMA
Greg Herriges (guitar and bouzouki) is joined by violinist David
Stenshoel and percussionist Michael Bissonnette, combining ancient and
future, East and West, into a stirring mix of “progressive world
music" with futuristic flavors. Herriges plays (and sings into) his
guitar and Greek bouzouki with a unique approach honed by his studies
of Asian and other international styles.

ABOUT KINDA FONDA WANDA
High-octane, Rock ‘n’ Roll Honky-Tonk inspired by the queen of
rockabilly, Wanda Jackson! “Take some seasoned music vets, inject
the rockabilly spirit and classic country influence of a young Wanda
Jackson and toss with the extroverted energy of vocalist Amanda White:
the result? Magnificent Fun!” — Steve McClellan (founder of First
Avenue) BiL’s Drew Miller is on bass, with Al Subola of the Bad
Companions and Renée Bracchi of The Blue Up?
