Tonight - The Mark Joseph Project


Down Lo has attained legendary status in the Minneapolis/St. Paul jam scene, combining sharp funk stylings with a Midwestern work ethic to rightfully find a home on the summer festival circuit and in rooms around the region. But such a work ethic demands a break at times, so Down Lo decided a few months back to take a breather.

Frontman Mark Grundhoefer isn't resting, though. He's continuing with his own thing, The Mark Joseph Project, and cobbling together a group from other MSP players summoned through his considerable rolodex. The resulting band will explore expanded territory, from soul to country to reggae, tonight at 8 p.m. in the HoDo Lounge (no cover, 21+). It's a good chance to see a different side of the Down Lo ethos and get your body on our small, but servicable, dance floor.
