Tina Schlieske Quintet

Tina Schlieske, an icon in Minneapolis’ music scene known for rock and Americana, unveils her latest musical journey, The Good Life. Teaming up with a stellar ensemble, Schlieske embarks on a transformative jazz odyssey. This album, featuring renowned musicians Cody McKinney, Pete Hennig, Bryan Nichols, Brandon Wozniak, and Jake Baldwin, is a departure into uncharted jazz territory – a nod to the lasting allure of jazz, ushering in a new era yet paying homage to its timeless roots. Opening the night will be Sister Laura Schlieske.

Schlieske has shared stages with Lenny Kravitz, The Wallflowers, the Indigo Girls, Etta James, and more recently Jeff Bridges and Robert Ellis. She has also collaborated with such renowned musicians as Don Heffington (Dylan, Emmy Lou Harris), Benmont Tench (Tom Petty), Marc Ford (The Black Crows) and Rami Jaffe (The Wallflowers), Stewart Copeland (The Police), Me’Shell Ndegeocello and Elvis Presley’s longtime guitarist, James Burton.

Tina lives in California with her family and continues to reinvent herself, explore genres, and defy convention. Currently, she divides her time performing solo, fronting her feminist-punk band Genital Panic, crooning her Sinatra to Simone jazz standards, and the occasional B-Sides show. She also has her California-based Graceland Exiles with Sister Laura, and the Minneapolis all-star band, Lola and the Red Hots.
