Gospel, Cars, and Punk

MUSIC
The Holmes Brothers

The Holmes Brothers bring roadhouse rock to god-fearing gospel. In fact, you’ll find a mixture of gospel, soul, blues, R&B, and country — with truly unique three-part vocal harmonies. Sherman Holmes, Wendell Holmes, and Popsy Dixon have played and recorded with some of rock-and-rolls greats, including Van Morrison, Peter Gabriel, Odetta, and Willie Nelson. Head out tonight for a show that resonates with passion and conviction.

7 p.m. & 9:30 p.m., Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant, 1010 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis; 612-332-1010; $30 & $22.

SPECIAL EVENT
2008 Auto Show

Cars, cars, cars. We love our cars here in good old Minnesota — a rather amusing fact considering the weather. This is the land — or at least it used to be — of the winter beater. But what lurks in the garage? What lurks under the tarp or the canvas? I’ve seen many a classic car peeking out from under its hibernation dome. I’ve seen chrome. I’ve seen flames. I’ve seen candy apple red. And now, you can see this and more at the 7th largest auto show in the nation. Stop on by, through Sunday, and check out over $30,000,000 in new vehicles.

10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 2nd Ave S, Minneapolis, 612-335-6000; $9.
