Joyann Parker is a vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose work blends soul, R&B, gospel, jazz, and traditional blues. Critics have praised her voice as both powerful and emotionally resonant, calling it a defining force in her music. With roots in church music and a strong foundation in musical study, Parker developed a sound that reflects lived experience and deep musical lineage. 

Her latest album, Roots, debuted at #10 on the Billboard Blues Chart, and her work continues to reach audiences on national and international stages. Joined by her band, Parker brings a full-bodied performance shaped by strong songwriting, expressive vocals, and thoughtful musicianship. 

Holiday Soul offers a seasonal concert grounded in warmth, groove, and soul—an evening that reflects both tradition and Parker’s distinct artistic voice. 

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

FEE: Adult $34 | Student $15 | President's Box: Additional $12 per Ticket

Guys on Ice - The Ice Fishing Musical

Saturday, February 20, 7:30pm

You’ve seen them. Little wooden shanties sitting on lake ice. Puffs of smoke rising from chimney pipes. On a quiet day, maybe the static of a tinny radio filters through plywood walls, across the frozen tundra, back to shore. In a cold world, on a cold day, on a frozen lake, these little signs of life are all most people know of a secret culture that thrives right here amongst us. Guys on Ice spends a day in the life of Marvin and Lloyd — fishing buddies and home-grown philosophers – a somewhat twisted take on the secret world of ice fisherman. . With musical numbers like, “The Wishing Hole,” “Ode to a Snowmobile Suit,” “Fish is the Miracle Food” and “The One That Got Away,” Guys on Ice works not only as a serious anthropological study but as a musical comedy as well.
