Moonshadow - An Evening of Cat Stevens

About the show

Experience an unforgettable evening with Michael Monroe, hailed as a “Minnesota acoustic music master” by Jon Bream of the Star Tribune, performing the timeless music of British singer-songwriter Cat Stevens.

Cat Stevens’ songs remain as relevant today as they were five decades ago. As he once said, “Music can be healing… for what looks like a gigantic divide in this world, I feel I can point a way toward our common humanity again.” Monroe carries that same belief, bringing Stevens’ heartfelt and introspective tunes to life for modern audiences. The LA Times noted Stevens “had rare ability to combine the strength, fragility and sometimes mystery of his highly personal compositions,” and Monroe captures that spirit perfectly.

With a career spanning five decades, Monroe’s performances are enhanced by his hand-crafted Seaton guitars made from 200-year-old reclaimed wood from the bottom of Lake Superior. His rich vocals and the delicate tones of crystal and bamboo flutes showcase his signature, mellifluous sound. Enjoy an evening filled with Cat Stevens classics like “Wild World,” “Peace Train,” “Father & Son,” “Hard Headed Woman,” “Where Do the Children Play,” “Can’t Keep It In” and the beloved “Moonshadow.”
