The Newberry’s Victorian Cornet Band is a select group of professional brass musicians who perform on antique instruments from the period known as the Golden Age of Bands (1870 – 1900). They are a “cornet band” because the instruments they play (with the exception of percussion and occasional trombones) all come from the “saxhorn” family (conical brass). Like the modern British brass band, they use cornets (not trumpets) and alto horns with upright bells (not French horns), tenor horns (also with upright bells), baritone horns, and tubas.

The music is a lot of fun, too: Verdi opera medleys from Nabucco and Atilla, old time serenades, waltzes, and marches.

The Newberry Band was started in 2003 by Michael O’Connor, a musicologist and euphonium soloist who is currently on the faculty at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. In addition to selecting the music the band performs, Mike does the research concerning band history and appropriate performance practice. A noted expert on 19th-century bands, Mike is also an entertaining speaker who provides informative notes about the music during the concert program.

Vintage Band Festival, a four-day festival every three years, provides a joyful, fun, and family-friendly atmosphere with eclectic brass music played by bands from all over the world. Audiences of all ages get to enjoy the beautiful city of Northfield at both outdoor and indoor venues and experience the musical and historical legacy that Northfield has been able to cultivate. Other nearby cities are featured as well. Music and history lovers alike will be engaged by the exceptional and out of the ordinary music experience and emphasis on historical music, dress, dance, and ambience.

Drum roll, please!

After 14+ months of pandemic restrictions, today I was once again able to feature a LIVE IN-STUDIO guest for conversation and performance on All-Wheel Drive. What a thrill! And better yet, it was none other than one of my very favorite Minnesota musicians* (and all-around fabulous humans), Courtney Yasmineh!

We chatted a bit (okay, a lot, because she is so interesting & fun to talk to) and also heard THREE BRAND NEW SONGS (making their radio premiere on AWD, y’all!) from her forthcoming new album, “Red Roses and Cowgirl Dreams,” being released later this summer.

Courtney shared the inspiration behind the new album and her seemingly endless pool of creativity (*she’s also a talented and accomplished author — and has a keen sense for interior design) — and we also talked about her participation in next week’s Bob Dylan Birthday Bash at First Avenue, part of a stellar line-up of MN musicians paying homage to the legendary musical bard on his 80th trek around the sun.

Courtney performed acoustic versions of three new original tunes:

*Red Roses and Cowgirl Dreams

Right Here By Your Side

The Creek*

And, we closed out the segment with her version of The Times They Are A-Changin’, off Courtney’s beautiful 2019 album release, “Songs From The Open Road.” Written & released by Dylan in 1964, the song’s relevance feels even more significant today.
