about

Recorded inside this decadent Minneapolis venue on a beautiful summer evening in July of 2023, the band set up for a night of Americana infused rock ‘n’ roll. Unbeknownst to most of the band members, the night would be recorded in an attempt to capture whatever transpired over the course of their hour-long set.

The result is 'One Night at the Aster,' a performance that finds the band simply on fire, delivering a scorching set of their “impossibly catchy” (Duluth News Tribune) Americana. Some songs are played as rehearsed and some take onstage detours all the while the band digging into the grooves and putting on a show that stands as one of their finest.

Covering the full spectrum of Art Vandalay’s repertoire, 'One Night at the Aster' captures the magic the band can conjure from the stage. From classics like “Fool’s Gold” and “Way It Goes,” to newer favorites “Architects” and “Never See You Again,” there’s a loose energy and infectious groove that never drags, taking the audience on a white-knuckled drive through 11 tracks of heartbreak, loss, and love. The album reaches its pinnacle with a scorching, never-before recorded take on JJ Cale’s “I’ll Make Love to You Anytime” as well as a rare version of their fan-favorite, “If You Love Me” with a lively trombone solo.

Since 2007, Art Vandalay has carved their place in the Twin Cities’ Americana scene, with a “fresh, fluid roots-rock sound” (Adventures in Americana) that blends the vintage sounds of The Band with a modern vibe of The Black Keys. One Night at the Aster is a testament to Art Vandalay’s timeless songwriting and relentless performing for more than a decade.
