Jazz and blues performance by Lenz and Frenz, with members of Pert Near Sandstone, Farmhouse Band, San Souci Quartet, and Row of Ducks.
Lenz and Frenz are back at 331 Club on Wednesday, October 28, as part of their regular run at the venue. If you've been following them, you know the deal: they play the last Wednesday of every month, so this is the October installment of a series that keeps them on the calendar throughout the year. It's a residency in the truest sense—the same night, the same spot, month after month.
What makes this one worth noting is the lineup. This isn't just a core group; it's a wider gathering of musicians from across the local scene. Joining Lenz and Frenz are members of Pert Near Sandstone, Farmhouse Band, San Souci Quartet, and Row of Ducks. That's four different ensembles contributing players to the same stage, so the sound will pull from a few different circles at once. It's a bit of a cross-pollination of the city's instrumental and ensemble music, with people you might recognize from other bills sitting in together.
Because it's a recurring thing, the vibe is familiar. You know where to find them, and you know when they'll be back. If you've caught a few of these before, you've seen how the lineup shifts and how the music changes depending on who shows up. This particular night brings in a good spread of names, so it's a solid chance to see how these different groups fit together under one roof.

It all goes down at 331 Club in Minneapolis, starting at 9:30 PM. Since it's a Wednesday night, it's a mid-week outing rather than a weekend one, and it's the last Wednesday of the month, just like the ones that come before and after.
