Ella cast to host free music events at the Mpls Convention Center on Aug 5 and 12

Ella company members Joilet F. Harris and George Caldwell will host two free events at the Minneapolis Convention Center (12noon-1p on both Wednesday, August 5 and Wednesday, August 12), providing a peek inside the life of one of the greatest jazz and pop vocalists of the 20th century.

The pair invite downtown Minneapolis workers and residents to take a break from the usual routine and join them for these two casual lunchtime music events and artist meet-n-greets. In addition, the on-site Dunn Bros. Cafe (open daily to the public from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) provides a great lunchtime destination for sandwiches, fresh baked goods and aromatic on-premise roasted coffee.
