Chris Bates "Low End Theories" Curation--Icehouse Tonight 8 pm

Happy 82nd to vocalist-pianist #AndyBey. Today's also the 100th anniversary of the birth of late composer #ChicoOFarrill. Two tunes from each, plus @DoubleBates visits with #LeighKamman and the story of MN's first Black lawyer on #MN90. Join @TheTravisRyder from 1 to 3.
