The Swamp Sextet will do an opening set. The Cedar will close during July and August. They return to the Twin Cities on Thursday, July 2 in an appearance at the Taste of Minnesota. We re not sure what time Geno is scheduled to play, but if possible try to get out to the Minnesota Zoo that evening for an appearance by Tracy Nelson, Irma Thomas and Marcia Ball . The music will be inside the casino so minors will not be let in.
Admission is free.
