Remember when Norah Jones was playing arenas? Fuhgeddaboudit.
Ten years after having the best-selling, Grammy-sweeping album "Come Away with Me," the coffeehouse jazz queen is now firmly entrenched as a modest-sized venue attraction. She'll perform Oct. 7 at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis to promote her just-released fifth album, "Little Broken Hearts," her slightly experimental and highly commendable project produced by Danger Mouse.
Tickets, priced at $59 and $69, will go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday at the Ticketmaster outlets and the State Theatre box office. Jones last performed in the Twin Cities in 2010 at the O'Shaughnessy in St. Paul.
In other concert news, "Sunny Came Home" singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin is set for a solo show July 30 at the Guthrie Theater. Tickets, priced at $43, will go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday at the Guthrie box office and website. Veteran Texas singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen performs Aug. 4 at the Cedar Cultural Center.
