Father-and-sons blues trio The Hanson Family Band plays Animales for Thursday Family Night.
The Hanson Family Band plays Animales BBQ Co. on Thursday, October 22, as part of the venue's Family Night. It's a father-and-sons trio, so the family connection is right there in the name. They're bringing a blues set to the Harrison neighborhood, and the whole thing runs from 7 PM to 9 PM.
They describe their sound as family-powered blues, and the details point to a specific corner of the genre. You'll hear gritty grooves and tight harmonies, with a classic blues spirit that draws from JJ Cale, Little Walter, and Jimmy Reed. If those names ring a bell, you've got a good idea of the territory they're covering: Cale's laid-back, Tulsa-shuffle feel, Walter's amplified harmonica, and Reed's steady, danceable rhythms. It's the kind of blues that sits comfortably between a shuffle and a slow burn, and the harmonies suggest they're singing together as much as they're playing.

Animales BBQ Co. is at 241 Fremont Ave N in Minneapolis, in the Harrison neighborhood. The show is on a Thursday, so it's a mid-week night out rather than a weekend one. The set runs from 7 PM to 9 PM, two hours of blues from a father and his sons sharing the stage.
