The Cats will revisit their celebrated musical roots with two sets: kicking off with an acoustic blend of folk and blues, followed by an electric set performed by their 7-piece band (Paul Metsa, Tim O’Keefe, Jack Pasternacki, Joe Luoma, Al Oikari, and Jimmy Anton), along with a roster of stellar special guests (including Sonny Earl, The Tilt Town Titanettes, Tom Lieberman, and more surprises!) — reminding folks why they are considered the first Twin Cities jam band, before there was such a thing. 

The show will also be recorded for a live album, so come be a part of Minnesota music history!
