Friday and Saturday
Fargo-Moorhead folkies have a full slate this weekend with a pair of appealing shows. Minnesota bluegrass and gospel act Monroe Crossing plays Friday night with a 7:30 p.m. show at the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre, 333 4th St. S., Fargo. The well-established quintet adds new frontman (and Moorhead ex-pat) singer/guitarist Derek Johnson. Tickets are $16 in advance, $20 at the door. (701) 235-1901. Minnesota's main finger-picker, Leo Kottke, returns to the Fargo Theatre, 314 Broadway, for another night of mostly instrumental tunes at 8 p.m. Saturday. Even without vocals, Kottke's deft fretwork weaves an entrancing musical narrative. Tickets are $27.50. (701) 205-3182.
