The Artists’ Quarter is the next stop for the Jazz Voyager but instead of flying he’s jumping into a rental to experience the open road of the Midwest from Kansas City to his destination is the Twin Cities at 408 St. Peter Street, Maplewood, Minnesota 55102.
Tucked in the basement level of a historic St. Paul building, the Artists’ Quarter has a subterranean, classic vibe evoking a bygone era. Owned by working jazz musicians, who designed a sound, look and feel for the optimal live experience. Bringing in national acts or rising stars from the local scene,the AQ takes its jazz seriously. They don’t have a kitchen but have partnered with several nearby restaurants to deliver your choice of cuisine. I’m looking to be surprised by who will be performing but for more info: 651-292-1359. #wannabewhereyouare
