Get ready to be entertained by this talented author\, humorist\, and musician. Known for his witty storytelling\, Michael will captivate any audience with his unique blend of humor and introspection. \n \nSince his book\, Population 485\, was published in 2001\, Michael Perry has been slowly building a culture. In his Carhartt hat\, logger boots\, and flannel\, Mike has made it fashionable for roughnecks\, medics\, and Prius pilots alike to talk about big bucks\, old trucks\, love\, fifteenth century philosophers\, and poetry. From Farm and Fleet to the convention center\, it’s easy to understand why Mike is considered a master of his craft! \nGrab your friends and come down to The Fharmacy Public House\, on the square in downtown Lake Mills\, for a feelgood evening of hilarious heart…and things as they oughta be. \nTicket price includes a three-course dinner (salad\, entree & dessert)\, entertainment\, server gratuity and two beverage tokens (that can be used during the performance or any time in the future). \nDinner will be served anytime from 5 to 7 pm. Arrive as you wish\, check in with the bar and take your seat upstairs. All seats are first come\, first serve. \nDessert will be served to all at 7:15 with coffee upon request. Entertainment will begin at 7:30. \nThis performance would not have been possible without Dr. Bill Stork and the Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bill\, himself an author and avid storyteller\, will introduce Mike and kick off the entertainment portion of our evening! \nMENU \nSalad:\nRanch Wedge with Bleu Cheese Crumbles \nChoice of Entree:\n• Pesto Pasta with Roasted Vegetables\n• Bill’s Crested Butte Burger (jalapeno cream cheese & teriyaki-marinated pineapple) served with Frites\n• Pork Belly Tacos served with Charro Beans & Slaw \nDessert:\nFlourless Chocolate Cake with Sassy Cow Ice Cream \nMeals will be prepared with gluten-free ingredients (a gluten free bun can be substituted upon request for the burger option).

This was after sound check prolly a decade or so ago on a night when we played to a dozen people in a 500 seat theater. We played like it was sold out\, because that’s what the pros do\, even if by the time the show is over you know the entire audience by name. And I’d take the stage with Mary anywhere\, anytime. She’s seen it all.”\n  \nPut a Wisconsin farm boy and volunteer firefighter turned bestselling author and songwriter onstage beside an East Coast Yale grad who earned her chops in FedEx trucks and Texas honky-tonks and you’ve got the Mike and Mary Situation. As a duo\, Perry and Cutrufello are as at ease with the audience as they are with each other. The songs hit directly and cleanly\, the harmonies contrast like worn leather and rough-cut lumber\, and the stage banter plays like a conversation between two longtime road-wise friends who’ve taken their lumps and their chances\, whose trade is words and music but know what it is to work a loading dock or a pitchfork\, and who figure if life ain’t played out exactly as you drew it up\, you might as well laugh about it\, sing about it\, and get on with it. \n\n\nTickets: $26.

He and his band the Long Beds have toured steadily ever since. \nMary Cutrufello played her first Long Beds show in the dust of a county fair horse pull\, showed up for the next gig anyway\, and has held down the lead slot for years now. A Connecticut-raised Ivy Leaguer who earned her first record deal after scorching a trail through the Texas roadhouse scene armed with a yellow Telecaster\, a truckful of originals\, and gutsy vocals\, she has gone on to become equally well-known for her fiery Midwestern roots rock and powerhouse acoustic performances. \nAs a duo\, Perry and Cutrufello are as at ease with the audience as they are with each other.

Show starts at 5PM. The Long Beds feature all-original songs written and sung by Michael Perry (New York Times bestselling author of numerous books including: Population 485\, Truck\, The Scavengers\, and Forty Acres Deep). Perry began writing music in the early 1990s as a way to break up all-night typing sessions when he was struggling to survive on prose. Eventually a musician friend invited him to play a coffee shop gig. “I’m not saying I was nervous\, but I cranked out a sixty-minute set list in thirty-two minutes flat\,” says Perry. \nSince then Michael has released 4 albums\, several singles\, and toured backed by a collection of renowned musicians who have performed on numerous stages throughout the world (including The Tonight Show\, Austin City Limits\, and Eaux Claires festival) and worked with a host of artists\, including Bon Iver\, S. Carey\, The Staves\, Miley Cyrus\, Lizzo\, Field Report\, The Tallest Man on Earth\, Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, and many more. \nEvery Long Beds show is built on roughneck ballads and freight train rockers interspersed with hilarious off-the-cuff tales from Mike’s diverse experience as a Wisconsin farm kid turned cowboy turned nurse turned best selling author. \nTICKETS: $15 ADVANCE // $25 PREMIER BALCONY SEATING // $20 DAY OF SHOW\n18+ \n4:30PM: DOORS \n5PM: Alt-country artist and Eau Claire\, WI native\, Hemma\, to open. \n6PM: Long Beds start. \nGrab your tickets here \n2528 Nicollet Ave South\nMinneapolis\, MN\, 55404 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/michael-perry-and-the-long-beds-return-to-minneapolis/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Long Beds Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231023T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231023T200000 DTSTAMP:20230818T232154Z CREATED:20230818T232154Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230818T232154Z UID:32377-1698055200-1698091200@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:Keynote Speaker: Private Event DESCRIPTION:Private Event.
