Anyone who knows about music will tell you that, for the last four+ decades, First Avenue has been integral to the Twin Cities' vibrant music scene. From the avant garde to the mainstream, First
Avenue is a music club committed to fostering arts, music and entertainment excellence.

On Friday, February 21st, enjoy two tickets to see Jeremy Messersmith perform, plus a $25 gift certificate to the Depot Tavern, First Avenue's Bar and Restaurant.

To call Jeremy Messersmith a musician is half-truth: He’s also a storyteller who has carefully crafted a trilogy of songs that narrate life. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving collection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” that innocently question the purpose of things to come. The integrity of these delicate songs immediately struck a cord with critics and fans alike, and captured the attention of Semisonic’s Dan Wilson, who offered to produce Messersmith’s follow-up album, The Silver City.
