North Gallery: Robert "Bob" Brown Exhibit Opening Reception
2022-08-25 17:00 - 19:00 | North Gallery – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., St. Paul, MN, 55104, United States
Ramsey County Historical Society, in partnership with Landmark Center, will premiere an exhibition featuring local artist Robert Brown (1893-1954). While there are few known details of his life, we do know he studied briefly in Europe and New York City before settling in St. Paul, where he worked as an artist in the 1930s and ’40s. He painted, mostly watercolors, in the regionalist style promoted by the Federal Art Project (FAP). The FAP provided work and a basic income to a few thousand American artists and artisans during the Great Depression. Most of Brown’s known works are St. Paul urban scenes and landscapes.
Additional exhibition programming will include a walkthrough with local historian, Paul Nelson, who has written a retrospective of Brown and discovered images of many artworks that have not been seen in nearly 100 years. Look for the article “Bob Brown: Paint What You See” in the upcoming Summer 2022 issue of Ramsey County History magazine in late mid-late August.

Acclaimed raconteur Ray Bonneville strips his bluesy Americana down to its essentials and steeps it in the humid grooves of the South, creating a compelling poetry of hard living and deep feeling. His ninth release, At King Electric, delivers more than his trademark grit and groove. Songs such as “The Next Card to Fall” and “Codeine” gleam with intimate narratives of characters reaching for hope and wrestling with despair. Rich guitar and harmonica lines resonate over spare but spunky rhythms, while Bonneville’s deep, evocative voice confesses life’s harsh realities.
Jim Withers (Montreal Gazette) describes his sound as “folk-roots gumbo… a languid Mississippi Delta groove, seasoned with smooth, weathered vocals and a propulsive harmonica wheeze.” Whether performing solo or fronting a band, playing electric or acoustic guitar, Bonneville allows space between notes that adds potency to every chord, lick, and lyric. Thom Jurek (Allmusic.com) remarks, “With darkness and light fighting for dominance… he’s stripped away every musical excess to let the songs speak for themselves.”

Turn Turn Turn is a trio who bonded over their mutual love of close harmony 60s and 70s country, folk, and pop music and formed an original Americana band. To create their distinctive sound, the band “turns” to the distant past of early American recorded music, “turns” again to that renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s, and finally “turns” again to the present looking forward.
Members Adam Levy (guitar, vocals), Savannah Smith (guitar, vocals) and Barb Brynstad (bass, vocals) are all mainstays of the Minnesota music scene and together craft an infectious, pop-infused Americana.
