First Avenue, a veteran venue of timeless musical history since 1970, residing in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, has housed at one point U2, The Ramones, Depeche Mode and of course our legendary Prince. There are over 500 painted stars on the side of the venue commemorating past bands that have played there.

Vaudeville consists of:
Vaudeville consists of:
- Christopher Gummeson - Lead vocals/Keys/Guitar: Soul stripping lyrics, cat-like stage presence, immeasurable vocals.
- Christopher Schara - Lead Guitar/Background vocals: A magician of strings with his haunting guitar tones.
- John Olson - Drums: Drum beats that capture the heart and emotion of their sound and energy
- Timmy Kosel - Bass: Keeps the audience in catatonic awe with deep bass blast waves.
- A.J. Sugar - Guitar: Always full of colorful energy with a love of music flowing through his veins.
Having been introduced to this band has sincerely changed my life. They have a “family” not fans. These musical geniuses love and adore the people around them just as much as they do their music. I am honored to have the opportunity to write about them and I hope this article will open the door to readers to join this family of an amazing musical blood line. To my brothers in Vaudeville, I love you dearly and stand behind you on your road to stardom!
