After drawing an enthusiastic crowd to the Dakota last week, the Jana Nyberg Group will do a repeat performance on May 9th. Can’t get too much of a good thing!
Twin Citian Jana Nyberg is an active music educator as well as jazz/pop/blues singer and songwriter. In addition to leading the Jana Nyberg Group and Trio, she has performed with the Adam Meckler Quintet (led by husband/trumpeter Adam) and pianist Josh Rawlings, and has been a guest artist at the UW Eau Claire Jazz Festival with the UW-Green Bay Jazz Singers and with the Bethel University Jazz Orchestra. A credentialed music teacher, Jana currently teaches at the St Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts. In fact it was her students who encouraged her to audition for American Idol in 2010, starting her down a path that landed her in Hollywood, where she participated in the first round of the national Idol “finals. ” Jana and her group have performed at the Dakota, Hell’s Kitchen, Red Stag, Honey, and in venues throughout Door County, WI. In April they toured throughout the Midwest (including stops in Nebraska and Missouri), starting with a kick-off at the Dakota. Two more tours through Wisconsin are scheduled for summer 2012.
There’s a lot more to kitchen specials on Foodie Night at the Dakota – and on May 9th, the real special is on stage – the Jana Nyberg Group.
The Dakota is located at 1010 Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis; reservations at 612-332-1010. Cover ($5) waived with food purchase of $20 per more on Foodie Nights. Sets begin at 7 pm. More about Jana Nyberg at www.janajazz.com and mark your calendar for her show at Honey Lounge on May 25th.
