5.15.13Big Weekend of Shows!!

The Family Trade has an awesome string of shows all around Minnesota this week/weekend - here's how it looks!

THURSDAY, May 16 @ Zimmy's Bar & Restaurant in Hibbing (8pm)
FRIDAY, May 17 @ the Electric Fetus in Duluth (5pm), and at Lake Avenue Bar (9pm)
SATURDAY, May 18 @ Memorial Park in Granite Falls (8pm)
SUNDAY, May 19 @ First Avenue's 7th St. Entry in Minneapolis (9pm)

Tell your friends in greater MN to check us out! And then, Twin Cities people, come to the Entry on Sunday - it'll be the last Trade show for awhile (because I'm heading to the West Coast for a month or so!)

4.23.13"Yoga High" in Secrets of the City

For an excitingly atypical gig, the Trade is going to be serenading a yoga sesh at Amsterdam Bar and Hall tonight... we got a nice shout-out in Secrets of the City here. Hope to see you tonight; the class (and the music) start at 7pm sharp!

4.19.13Record Store Day @ Hymie's TOMORROW

Tomorrow The Family Trade is kicking things off on the outdoor stage at Hymie's Record Store Day Block Party! We'll be followed by an insanely awesome lineup that includes Chastity Brown, The Ericksons, Prissy Clerks, and just about everyone else that makes the Twin Cities music scene so great.

Vinyl is dead, long live vinyl. Event page here.

4.9.13Family Trade FRIDAY @ 331

Playing a big messy show at the 331 this Friday, just like the olden days! (Although I'm considering betraying my folk roots and going electric.) We'll be playing some BRAND NEW SONGS, and making some BRAND NEW MEMORIES.

3.24.13The Nicest Write-up of All Time (courtesy Hymie's Records)

This is legitimately the nicest thing I've ever seen about myself in print... Take a second to read what the kind people of Hymie's Vintage Records think of our new EP "Whiskey With Goliath" here, and then go to their store, buy an album (doesn't have to be ours), and give them a big ol' hug.

3.20.13Friday Show @ Cause on CityPages Best Shows List!

The Family Trade is playing this Friday at Cause with Martin Devaney and the Como Ave. Jug Band... and CityPages says it's going to be one of the best shows of the week.

Check out the list here - and hope to see you on Friday!

2.17.13In-Store Show @ Hymie's this FRIDAY 2/22

On Friday, Feb. 22 The Family Trade is rocking a FREE, ALL AGES show at Hymie's Vintage Records in Minneapolis! We'll be playing tunes from "Whiskey With Goliath" as well as some extra-new material - and, unlike the last show at Icehouse, this one isn't going to go crazy late into the night. (We'll play from about 7pm till 9pm... so bring your non-night-owl friends along!)

2.1.13Interview with Minnesota Monthly

Last week I chatted with the wonderful folks of Minnesota Monthly about The Family Trade's new EP... Check out the interview here. (Spoiler alert, they think we might be "the next big thing" - we'll try to prove them right!)
