Minneapolis based Singer/Songwriter Joey Shaheen aka “The Wrong Omar” continues his “Sled-Dawg-Slushy Tour” in support of his recent CD release “Shoot Up The Town”. Joey is on his 3rd tour of the U.S. and will be parking his green Toyota Prius in front of Cafe Carpe on Saturday November 17th for an evening of songs, stories, poems and Rock & Roll aphorisms, accompanied by a cello/mandolin/string player and a percussionist. His catalog from 7 CDs includes a warm blend of roots/folk/rock with blues harp and a substantial amount of quirk. Like a clever cartoon, the adult themes are subtly disguised providing a show for people of experience and children alike. Joey has appeared with the likes of RB Morris, Daphne Willis, Hamilton Loomis and Monroe Crossing.
