Dissonance is excited to partner with the Musicant Group to help fulfill its mission of 'Creating Places Where People Want to Be' with a weekly music series to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. For the first four Wednesdays in May, a free lunch-hour concert will be held in the gorgeous, soaring atrium of the Capella Tower in downtown Minneapolis. Dissonance board members will be on hand to provide informational materials and answer questions. Stop by to enjoy the music, grab some info and—if you feel like it—talk to us about mental health, sobriety and/or general wellbeing for yourself or a loved one. It will be a fun, relaxed highlight to the workday and, for those interested, a casual way to explore conversations and community around well-being. All shows: noon to 1 p.m. Hope you can join us!

Wednesday, May 8 - Katy Vernon

Hot off the release of her critically acclaimed CD ‘Suit Of Hearts,’ London-born, ukulele songbird Katy Vernon will perform acoustic renditions of songs inspired by her first U.K. tour, during which she revisited the sites of her British childhood and embarked on a spiritual journey into sobriety, wellness and creativity. She may be called a ‘singer of sad songs on a happy instrument,’ but audiences are never left feeling down as Katy warms hearts with her beautiful, comforting voice.
