At just 18 years old, Nolen Sellwood, from Prior Lake, Minnesota, made a remarkable entrance into the music world. Meeting producer John Wright in 2021, Nolen arrived scruffy and guitar in hand, eager to share his vision for a short “indie” album. Playing his original tunes, Sellwood impressed Wright, who was amazed to learn that Nick Drake heavily influenced him. Now, Sellwood and his trio, featuring childhood friends Sam Hovda on Piano and Trumpet and Owen Reinert Nash on Percussion and Bass, offer a modern take on British Isles folk music. With Nolen leading the way, they captivate audiences with their somber yet acoustic sound.

2024-04-25 12:00 | Musser Cortile – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
Hosted by composer Abbie Betinis, our popular Courtroom Concerts take place at noon most Thursdays in the Landmark Center in downtown Saint Paul. This series features accomplished musicians and composers from the Twin Cities and surrounding area, as well as occasional musical newcomers to the area. These one-hour concerts are free and open to the public.
About the Artists:
The Selby Avenue Brass Band brings a unique voice to the Minneapolis / St. Paul music scene, with musical roots from the streets of New Orleans that expand into many other genres.
​The group is led by Tom Wells, tubaist, arranger & composer and music educator in the Twin Cities area. Tom’s compositions and arrangement fuel a band comprised of enthusiastic and experienced musicians (including a Grammy winner).
I’m Thomasina Petrus, and I have been so fortunate to portray lead characters on Penumbra, Park Square, Mixed Blood, Illusion, Guthrie, Capri and Old Arizona Theatre stages. A true “hometown girl”, I have cultivated my talents as an actor and jazz vocalist through mentorships and friendships of some of the twin cities most beloved artists. I have performed with/for great artists like James “Cornbread” Harris, Sr., Javetta Steele, Stokley, Regina Williams, Prince, and of course T. Mycheal Rambo, Lou Bellamy, Lewis Whitlock, and now Marion McClinton.
Inspired to continue creating exceptional music and theatre, I established my own production company, Thomasina Productions to produce “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” by Lanie Robertson, portraying Billie Holiday’s music and historical legacy. I went on to write my own show “Lady Days” and “Etta…Dreams o Remember,” a musical/biographical revue of the life of Etta James.
My tribute CD “If Only…Billie Unsung” continues to sell locally and worldwide. My Christmas CD “The Perfect Gift…Songs” was also a local best seller in the Twin Cities gift and coffee shops and now I have sweetened my repertoire with my latest trademarked production THOMASINA’S CASHEW BRITTLE and THOMASINA’S APPLE BRITTLE. All are available in the lobby and more information can be found on my websites. I continue to perform live throughout the Twin Cities in local theatres and jazz venues and I’m looking forward to a new Holiday concert production of “Thomasina’s Hot Chocolate”.

THE STORY
Following Richard Nixon’s fall from grace, resignation from the Presidency, and subsequent pardon, the American people are left searching for answers. The truth the nation so desperately needs may come in the most unlikely place – a “puff piece” interview with lowbrow British talk show host David Frost. The two titans meet in a surprising battle of words and wits. ​
THE SETTING
THEATREX is performing FROST/NIXON in a historic courtroom at Landmark Center, a former federal courthouse. This gives the audience a front row seat to one of the most pivotal stories in American politics. Richard Nixon never got his day in court to answer for his crimes. We thought we’d change that.​
