Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings @ The Pantages 12/2

Here in Minnesota, we have a State Fair so damn cool that they provided free Sharon Jones shows for fairgoers the first two nights of the yearly great Minnesota get together. So, fortunately this was the second time this season we got to see Sharon Jones and her fantastic funk soul backing band, The Dap Kings. Ms. Jones is simply phenomenal, and her energy is virtually unmatched in today's music biz. Our seats at downtown Minneapolis' beautiful Pantages Theatre were in the second row of the Orchestra Pit, but we were informed by security during the opening band's set that the seats would be removed and it would be a free for all dance party in front of the stage. No big surprise there, but Brianna managed to stay front and center the entire show and take what are some of the coolest concert photographs ever. Dig:
