History The Barbary Coast Dixieland Band was organized in 1967 to perform at Jimmy’s on the LeVee in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota where they performed every weekend for 5 years to standing room only. From there they went on to play at the Minnesota State Fair, Paddlewheel Boats and corporate events. They have traveled far and wide over the nation and in 1990 accompanied the mayor of St. Paul on a goodwill Dixieland tour of Japan. The band consists of six musicians who play a number of instruments sometimes changing in the middle of a song. Their show is filled with variety, comedy and always presented with much enthusiasm. In 1984 the band introduced their Dixieland worship services to their own churches and it wasn’t long before they were busy every Sunday bringing their gospel music to churches in the Twin Cities area and also traveling the Midwest. The band provides this unique worship experience at approximately 40 churches during the year. In 2001 the Barbary Coast Dixieland Band was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame.
