First Avenue is celebrated as one of the longest-running, independently owned and operated venues in the United States. Our commitment to independence is led by the belief that unique, locally-owned live music rooms are imperative to the health of the community and economy. First Avenue is dedicated to promoting artistic expression in diverse voices old and new, to provide a community by offering artists a stage and a mic, and fans a place to gather. First Avenue owns and operates The Depot Tavern, the 7th St Entry, the Turf Club, the Fine Line, The Fitzgerald Theater, the First Avenue Mainroom, and co-operates the Palace Theatre.

As the musical epicenter of the Twin Cities, First Avenue-and by extension, the venues it owns and operates-opens its doors to all music lovers who are First Avenue's past, present, and future.

First Avenue has served as the launching pad for countless artists and bands like Hüsker Dü, the Replacements, Semisonic, Hippo Campus, Soul Asylum, Lizzo, Prince, and many more.

Raku Pottery Bowl.

• 9" Rounded with Lizard Design
• 4" Tall
• 5" Rounded Opening

Raku generally refers to a type of low-firing process that was inspired by traditional Japanese raku firing. Western-style raku usually involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colors in glazes and clay bodies. The drastic thermal shock also produces cracking-known as crackling since it is deliberate. The original Japanese style of raku is an outgrowth from Buddhist influences in life and especially in the tea ceremony.

Autographed Tom Johnson books.

• Summer Stock
• Hollywood Heyday

Entertainment writers and coauthors of Hollywood Heyday, Fantle (film, Marquette Univ.) and Johnson delve into the 1950 MGM musical Summer Stock. It's best known as the third and final onscreen collaboration between Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, and it's the film from which Garland's famous "Get Happy" musical number originated. The book takes a deep dive into the industry issues MGM was battling at the time, including script revisions, the rise of TV, and censorship from the Production Code Administration. It also examines Garland's mental health and personal issues, which affected her ability to appear on set, and the bonds forged between cast and crew members doing their best to finish the film despite mounting production and scheduling issues. Garland's fluctuating weight during filming is also briefly mentioned. The book shines best as a reflection on Garland's and Kelly's legacies and the contemporary studio structure in which they worked. However, as a critical evaluation of the film's merits and its position in the musical canon today, the isolated listing structure of the book does not allow for much thematic coherence.

Autographed copy of Sing for the Red Dress by Joseph M. Marshall III.

Award-winning Sicangu Oglala Lakota author and historian, Joseph M. Marshall III, PhD, is one of the most prolific Native writers in the United States. Raised by his maternal grandparents in a traditional Native household on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, he has written eighteen historical fiction and nonfiction books and narrated his own audio books. He is best known for award-winners "The Lakota Way," "The Journey of Crazy Horse," and "The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn."

Joseph M. Marshall 111 will be speaking on his new book "Sing for the Red Dress". Marshall's latest novels, his first contemporary fiction, will be released by Lucid House Publishing in 2024 as part of his "Smokey River Suspense Series." The titles are "The Last Prisoner of Little Bighorn," "The Wolf and the Crow," and "Sing for the Red Dress" -all to be released in spring 2024. "Blood on the Dress," the sequel to the latter will be released on October 1, 2024. The main characters primarily live on the fictional Smokey River Reservation based on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, but plotlines extend to traditional Lakota territory on the Northern Plains. His new novels are based on current issues facing Lakota people, including crime and the interface between tribal government, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the FBI, and the ongoing epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women that have largely been ignored by the American public and media.
