MN women rock! – Mayda, Hannah von der Hoff and Holly Newsom

By Becca Martin

This is the review I have been dying to do! It is also the least objective piece that I will ever write. Sorry!  For a lady who has been music and musician obsessed for a long time, I adore this time in MN music.  Every weekend I can see my three local favorites belting it out, sometimes two in one night.

Off The Cuff #2 – Cypher / Double Trio – 3/31 at Aster Cafe

Improvisation is a like a box of chocolates, well you know how the rest of this goes. I guess the first one of these went off pretty well, so there is a good chance you’ll want to see this.

Our first go was a blast, and we’re ready to keep rocking.

The night that I went to see Mayda host the Live Letters event I met Stevie Wonder. No kidding. He was warm, cuddly, and I let him sit in my lap.  Mayda also did a fantastic impression of him. FYI, Stevie is the Siamese cat of Live Letters co-creator Sara Montour.
