GASTRO NON GRATA : TURF CLUB TARNATION
1601 University Ave W, St Paul MN
Sunday, Sept 14 Doors at 6, Show at 7

Hey everybody, are you as excited to see the new and improved Turf Club as we are? I sure hope so because this one is going to be a doozie. Since the newly remodeled Turf has a working kitchen again we’re going to be featuring the food of the in house chef Karl Lichtfuss.

We needed a good St Paul brew to pair with Karl’s food so we went out and got Summit Brewing Co. The powerhouse of St Paul brewing. They’ll be unchaining some samples for you to keep your whistles wet.

On the music end we’re more than pleased to announce Sherwin Linton, the man who’s been elected to 11 different states Country Music Hall of Fames on top of being one of the hardest working Midwestern country artists out there. From 1956 to Today, Sherwin is still singing the songs of Elvis, Marty Robbins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash. He also performs his own hits and originals plus the classic country, Folk and Cowboys standards we all know and love.

Local Country & Western revivalists, Whiskey Jeff & the Beer Back Band are back to regale you with songs of whiskey, heartbreak and hangovers. Nathan Miller will start the night off with some rootsy deep blues.

As always the Dead Meat Door Prize is brought to you by Clancey’s Meat & Fish

Tickets Available at all First Avenue outlets and online thru first-ave.com

Well folks, we’re planning for another Red Letter Day for the annual GNG post-valentine celebration.  

We’re excited to have the folks from The Rabbit Hole in the Midtown Global Market on hand to put tasty things in your belly and reps from Northeast’s Indeed Brewing will be pouring samples of their fine brews to keep your thirst sated. Our pals from Cool Jerk beef jerky will be hanging around giving you sweet and savory cow parts to chew on.

For music, our focus is on butt shaking. DJs Shannon Blowtorch and Mike 2600 will be on the wheels of steel all night with extended sets, making your muscles spontaneously convulse to the beat and keeping your head in a constant nod.
