Friends, Family, and Music Lovers -

We were beyond excited to kick off the L.A. Buckner Residency tonight at Brownstone Jazz Club. Unfortunately, we will need to reschedule the opening.

We are still waiting on our official license from the City. We fully expected to have it in hand last week, but as many of you know, these processes can sometimes take a little longer than anticipated. We are actively working to resolve the issue and are hopeful everything will be finalized this week.

The good news? The room has turned out absolutely AMAZING.

The décor is warm and intimate.
The stage is set.
The sound system is dialed in.
And that beautiful baby grand piano is just waiting for the Twin Cities to sit down and enjoy what’s about to happen in this space.

We promise you, it will be worth the wait!

Please stay tuned for further updates as we work through this final step. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm, patience, and incredible support as we bring Brownstone Jazz Club to life.

Real musicians. Real music lovers. A room built for both.

💙🙏Rest in Power to a true legend, JellyBean Johnson 🙏💙

Today, our community grieves the passing of Garry George “Jellybean” Johnson, the founding member and original drummer of The Time. Johnson played alongside iconic Minnesota legends like Prince, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis, helping define a genre that fused funk, R&B, rock, and so much more.

Jellybean passed away last night, just two days after his 69th birthday. Beyond his work on the drums, he made a lasting impact as a producer, guitarist, and songwriter. He co-created Janet Jackson’s #1 hit “Black Cat” and worked with artists like Alexander O’Neal, New Edition, Mint Condition, and many others.

He was also a champion of preserving Minnesota’s rich musical history by founding the Minneapolis Sound Museum, which is dedicated to honoring the city’s pioneering artists.

Jellybean’s music was unapologetically funky, and his presence on stage, whether behind the drums or on guitar, was magnetic. He leaves behind a legacy that shaped both local and global music.

His daughter, Bianca Rhodes, has been a dear friend, media collaborator, and currently serves on the board of my non-profit. My heart shatters for her in this moment. By her request, I will continue to share the story of her father, one of Minnesota’s musical giants. In the meantime, my condolences are with her, their family, and the entire music community. 🎸🥁🖤
