West Bank BBQ Gets Brother Ali and Live Band Karaoke!

By Matt Dowgwillo - Aug 11, 2013

This weekend the Minneapolis Westbank will be throwing down as they used to… With 10 Stages of music and over 30 bands throughout the day!

Brother Ali is headlining, Mark Mallman is in the house, Chase & Ovation Prince Tribute is going on all night (extra charge at Cabooze though:(, and Hurricane Karaoke gives YOU the chance to be a rockstar by performing your favorite songs on stage with a full live band!

All of this is going down for just $5 bucks ($10 after 10pm), so you won’t want to miss out.

The main area will be right on Cedar & Franklin off the Light Rail Stop by the Whiskey Junction. The Main stage will be set up near the Red Sea and the old 400 Bar on the street.

Also a highlight is the Southern Theater’s weekly “Balls Improv/Cabaret” show starting late night at 12am. This weekly event is something everyone from the Twin Cities should do at least once.
