Crossings’ 12th Annual Poet-Artist Collaboration — April 19

Celebrate National Poetry Month! Come to the Gala Reception for Crossings' 12th Annual Poet-Artist Collaboration on Friday, April 19. The evening begins at 6:30 at Crossings at Carnegie, 320 East Ave, Zumbrota. There you can meet the artists and poets and enjoy refreshments. Then join the party as it moves down the block to the State Theatre at 7:30 for a poetry reading and slideshow of the accompanying artwork.

Some 150 poets and artists participated in this year’s event by entering up to three poems each, or submitting artistic work samples. Jurors winnowed nearly 300 poems down to just 26. Other jurors halved the artistic pool to match the number of poems. For this exhibit, each selected artist then chose one selected poem from which to create an artwork. Poems and the work they inspired are displayed together.

“The response this year was almost overwhelming, and we’re gratified to see so many talented people participating in our event. Poet-Artist Collaboration holds a special place in our hearts and never fails to produce lovely and surprising results as art and poetry intertwine,” said Crossings owner Marie Marvin.

The public is invited and admission is free.

The 51 participating poets and artists come from around Minnesota, including Rochester, Minneapolis, Northfield, Wabasha and elsewhere; two are from Wisconsin.

The State Theatre is located at 96 East 4th Street in Zumbrota. For more information visit http://www.crossingsatcarnegie.com

The Music and Magic of Patsy Cline — November 3

Fans of that early Nashville sound won’t want to miss “The Music and Magic of Patsy Cline” at Zumbrota's State Theatre on Saturday, November 3. The 7:30 pm show, sponsored by Crossings, features Cassie and the Bobs performing Cline’s music with impressive authenticity. Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 the day of the show. Doors open at 6:30. Tickets can be purchased by calling Crossings at Carnegie at (507) 732-7616.

Cassie Wiesner’s powerful portrayal of Patsy Cline takes audiences on a trip down memory lane as she sings “Crazy,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “I Fall To Pieces,” and many more of the songs that made Cline famous. No one comes closer to sounding like Cline than Wiesner, and the Bobs are a full group of accomplished musicians, dedicated to sounding as true-to-the-spirit of the original recordings as possible.

Cline was admired as a headline performer and pioneer of the 1960s Nashville Sound. She had attained great success when she died in a private plane crash on March 5, 1963, at the age of 30. She remains a major influence for many singers and is one of the most acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century. She was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame – the first female soloist to receive that honor.

In addition to Wiesner, the Bobs feature many talented musicians, including current or former members of bands like Silverado, Oh Aces, The Salty Dogs, Skilly and Duff, Patty and the Pinetones, The Waybacks and Little Henry.

Cassie and the Bobs have been touring Minnesota and eastern South Dakota for more than three years and have gathered rave reviews wherever they play. The group continues to draw hundreds of people to their performances, a testimony to the quality of their show and the enduring popularity of Patsy Cline almost 50 years after her death.

Takin’ It To The Limit

Get ready for something special! Nearly SOLD OUT–HURRY!

Tickets are $28 in advance, $30 the day of the show. Doors open at 6:30. To purchase tickets call Crossings at Carnegie 507.732.7616.

Audiences have flocked to Collective Unconscious’ covers of CSNY’s “Déjà Vu” album, the Beatles' “Abbey Road,” The Beach Boys' “Pet Sounds” and Simon and Garfunkel's “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” CU consistently delivers a pitch-perfect rendition of every song they perform.

The Fabulous Armadillos began their music series in 2006 at Pioneer Place in St. Cloud with such classic shows as Southern Rock, The British Invasion, From The Grave, Guitar Heroes, Outlaw Rock, Psychedelic Rock, and the now-infamous One Hit Wonders show. All 12 shows were sold out.

Expect no less than an evening of amazing music that will leave you wondering whether The Eagles themselves had taken the stage.

It’s All One Water

We swim in it, boat on it, bathe in it. We cry it, consume it and are comprised of it. In winter, we even walk on it. Water is both elemental and functional; we harness the humbling power of its waterfalls and rivers to power our lives, yet in one single weather event it can destroy all we have built. Crossings asked photographers and writers to share what water means to them for this exhibit.

"It's All One Water" is a collection of 28 photographs and 28 written pieces (both prose and poetry) on display through the month of October at Crossings. Join us for a reception on Friday, October 19, at 7 pm at Crossings to view the photographs and enjoy refreshments. Then move with us next door to the State Theatre for the readings and a slideshow of the photographs.

Participants were invited to explore whatever aspects of water fascinate them and create their own artistic expression of this most basic foundation for life. Photographers and writers from around the region share their work in this intriguing exhibit produced in collaboration with the Zumbro Watershed Partnership.

This project was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
