WORRIED MINDS are MARTIN MAUDAL, on guitars, vocals and songs, and DANIEL MULLIKIN on everything from cello to banjo - and a few things that most of us have never heard of, like the Sarangi - a really cool Indian instrument that combines the sympathetic strings of a sitar, with a violin that you play with a bow, and your fingernails like a slide guitar. The two met at the Folk music center in Claremont, CA, a town that has produced musicians like David Lindley, Tom Fruend, and Ben Harper. WORRIED MINDS are very much the self-made band in the best James Brown tradition. "James Brown has always been one of my heroes," says Martin. "Not just because he was one of the most amazing performers America has ever produced, but because he was the original Indie!" Call 435-867-9800 for more information. www.gowildlife.org www.reverbnation.com/worriedminds

Saturday, October 15, 9:00PM: The return of Groovefest act ANTIOQUIA at Mike’s Tavern at 90 W. Hoover in Cedar City! A drumming workshop is also in the works! Birthed in Colombia and bred in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland-based Antioquia makes music that inspires raucous dancing and deep listening. With influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra to AfroColombian songstress Toto La Mompasina and traditional music from West Africa, Antioquia’s primary mission is to unite humans in the healing act of dance. Their earnest let-it-all-hang-out stage presence encourages the same from the audience, creating a feedback loop that builds momentum as standers-by are sucked into the dance floor. Peppered with fits of improvisation, bouts of silliness and fiery percussion pieces performed amidst the crowd, an Antioquia set is high energy, captivating, and anything but predictable. You can count on each show to bring the audience closer to the stage and closer together. Admission for this show is just $5.00 at the door the night of the show. www.antioquia-band.net
Friday, October 28 – Sunday, October 30: Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival featuring DAVE STAMEY in concert.
