Jaws + Low, Lake Harriet Bandshell

Jaws and Low will kick off Vita.mn's Music and Movies series at Lake Harriet Bandshell.

From Vita.mn:

"It’s hard to believe Low has not yet graced a stage in the Twin Cities this year. It might be even harder to buy the fact that Duluth’s world-renowned indie-rock trio is finally returning to town to essentially open for “Jaws” — kicking off the Vita.mn Autumn Movie & Music Series at Minneapolis’s picturesque Lake Harriet Bandshell, for which the band picks the movies. Upon further thought, though, Alan Sparhawk’s and Mimi Parker’s ever-evolving music is a good match for Spielberg’s timeless shark odyssey, the way it can move from tranquil waters and smiley faces to manic urgency and even the occasional severing of limbs. (Chris Riemenschneider)


Vita.mn presents its inaugural Autumn Music and Movies Series outdoors at the Lake Harriet Band Shell. Produced in cooperation with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, the four-week series features a range of Minnesota musicians paired with their favorite and most inspiring films. Low will take the stage at 7:15 p.m. and play under the stars before introducing "Jaws."


Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic baskets and blankets, as evenings this time of year in the Twin Cities typically dip into the mid-50s. Food and drink, as well as artist merchandise, will be available on-site for purchase. Check Vita.mn for all updates concerning inclement weather, cancellations and venue changes. The event is free to the public with seating first-come, first-served."
