North Carolina pianist, producer, and songwriter Phil Cook releases a new standalone single, the piano-centric take on “I Made a Lovers Prayer” alongside a new visualizer made by Daniel Fox. “I Made a Lovers Prayer” — the slow-motion wrecking ball that sways near the end of Gillian Welch’s 2003 album, Soul Journey — contains as many questions as answers: Does love lead to doom or offer deliverance? Does it render us with wonder or woe? There is no easy way to parse any of it. Cook’s solo interpretation of that elliptical gem was recorded in the throes of intense personal upheaval. In Fall 2022, Cook found himself living alone on his friends’ farm in North Carolina’s Piedmont. There, on the edge of forests and fields, he would wake to a dawn chorus, his window left slightly ajar to let the sound in. Cook began recording these birds and responding to them at the instrument that is the prolific multi-instrumentalist’s first and most steadfast love: the piano. For nearly five minutes here on “Lovers Prayer,” Cook indulges in that absolute ambiguity, the racing-heart motion of one hand countered by the stops and starts, furrowed brows and furtive glances of the other. Where is this all going, he seems to ask without a word, and who will I be when I get there? Two decades ago, Welch and David Rawlings built the musical and conceptual frame into which Cook steps here. For himself, at last, he’s trying to solve riddles he knows are beyond us all. From Phil Cook: “This song by Gillian Welch has gotten me through a lot in the last 20 years. The piano has gotten me through a lot in the last 40 years. Putting them together has been a revelation for me and I’m glad to share that with you all today. Much love.” LISTEN HERE: ffm.to/philcook A prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, solo artist, and in-demand musician whose collaborations have run the gamut of genre -- as a founding member of beloved band Megafaun to work with Waxahatchee, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Bon Iver, and Hiss Golden Messenger, to name a few -- here, Cook returns to his primary instrument, today’s single is the first new solo music Cook has released since his debut fully-instrumental piano release, All These Years (“arresting in its intimacy and immediacy” - Pitchfork), which was released in November 2021 via Psychic Hotline.

Over 5 years in the making, Fabiana Palladino sees the UK vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, transcend expectations with a 10-track full-length of shapeshifting sonics that draws inspiration from the big R&B, Soul, Pop and Disco studio productions of the 80s and 90s and filters them through a modern lens. Made in the wake of the end of a long relationship, it’s an intimate record that sees Fabiana Palladino confront complex questions about love, loneliness and normativity in relationships. Written and self-produced by Palladino, the album features performances from renowned musicians and close friends including Paul Institute co-founder Jai Paul, her father and legendary session bassist Pino Palladino, brother and Yussef Dayes bassist Rocco Palladino, renowned drummer Steve Ferrone and strings from Rob Moose. Fabiana made her U.S. headline debut at SXSW, having previously joined Jai Paul on his debut North American’s performances in 2023, performing at the British Music Embassy and Gorilla vs Bear showcase. This Summer, Fabiana Palladino sold out her debut UK headline tour including Village Underground (720 cap), and is hitting festivals across the Europe. Yves Jarvis: Make ready and say “ah” to All Cylinders—the golden, textured new album by one of Montreal’s most original musicians. Yves Jarvis, aka Jean-Sébastien Yves Audet, is no longer simply a recording artist: now, he says, he’s a songwriter. These 16 tracks of brazen songcraft and pure musicianship are things he played himself, without a single additional contributor (“Not even one!”), and see the 3X-Polaris-nominated artist turn with pleasure to the stuff of verses, choruses, hooks and hits. “I basically only listened to Frank Sinatra for a year,” Jarvis says. He wanted Sinatra’s “clarity”—"the way the songs exist without him, as real things.” Whereas the 28-year-old previously approached music as something sculptural, “this time I just made a ton of songs,” working with an old laptop and bare-bones software, “no pretense.” “Instead of making a world, I thought: ‘I’m a band. The drums are there to keep the beat.’” As always, Yves Jarvis is distinguished by his sound—a warm, vivid thing that feels at once like a handknit piece of fabric and a sheet of precious metal. He is dedicated to a music that condenses folk, R&B, country, blues, Americana—with a touch that’s contemporary, even futuristic, and smashes together a stunning array of influences, from Serge Gainsbourg and Judee Sill to Ray Charles, Brian Eno and Throbbing Gristle. Tunes like “Silver KG” and the title track are iridescent road songs; at other moments Jarvis meditates on truth, fiction and the utterly cosmic. Throughout, All Cylinders seems to shimmer in a middle space, part-real and part-celestial. The world’s full of love; it’s also full of mystery. “Thank God I’m me,” Yves Jarvis admits. “It would suck to be anybody else.”

6PM DOORS 8PM SHOW Join us in the starlight room! Seating is first come first served. Full food and beverage menu available for this show. $12 ADVANCE $18 DAY OF SHOW In an age of quick fixes, flashing screens, and pop ‘songs’ that are more formula than art, an album that takes its sweet time is a radical act. “Also Going Nowhere”, Luke Callen’s third full-length effort is just that - a collection of songs that spread out through time and space, dripping with honest Midwest charm and a mischievous glint. It’s music that you can relax into, paired with lyrics you’ll want to chew on and savor, that ask something of their listener. These songs are proof and reminder: you don’t actually have to go anywhere at all to, you know, get somewhere. That’s not to say the subject matters within this work are by any means easy or expected. Clementine follows a gun-totting mother up near the Taconite mines of Northern Minnesota. Deals go horribly wrong on the street corner in Lake Street Hustle. The cosmic, primordial soup mixes with wildflower seeds in Some Reason. These epic tales swirl alongside summertime swimming holes, interstate drives, fishing trips with Dad, and unlikely marriage proposals. All of it, grounded and cohesive in the hands of a locked-in rhythm section (Chris Grey on drums and Lauren Anderson on bass) playful lead guitar (producer Erik Koskinen) the warm hum of an organ (Frankie Moscow), and of course, Luke Callen’s confident finger-picking and weathered vocal delivery. This no-frills arrangement style is like a drink of water for those of us who crave something real and honest to listen to. The sonic palette pays homage to a whole plethora of elements endemic to the American music tradition without feeling derivative or landing too hard on any one side of the genre question. Sure, fans of John Prine, The Band, or Randy Newman will undoubtedly hear traces of Callen’s biggest influences, but there’s a modern assessment within the music that is the distinct voice of an artist coming into his own and sharing stages with fellow pickers and balladeers like Charlie Parr and Margo Cilker. This album is Callen’s strongest recorded work yet - but even so, his work isn’t the type to get puffed up or ahead of itself. “The highway begins where it always ends/on the same goddamned street” he sings, a throwback to the title of the thing, which seems to be said with a wink and wiley understanding of the world in which we live today. Ultimately, Callen never strays from this central theme: our ordinary lives are noteworthy, and that miraculous, strange, beautiful things are happening around us all the time. We just need to take a seat, stay a while, and insist on using our attention for good. The album lands in the streams on February 2nd, 2024. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘It was a hell of a year,’ says Americana artist-to-watch Clare Doyle, reflecting on a breakout year in which she was named one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands of 2023, and Emerging Artist of 2024 by Music in Minnesota, and released three debut singles which garnered immediate attention for their infectious blend of soulful country and rootsy rock, and a bold lyricism that’s hailed as “a fresh perspective in emotional storytelling” by Music in Minnesota. Doyle had settled in New Orleans until the pandemic forced a move back to her hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota, where she began to write and rediscover a musical identity she’d neglected for years. Armed with a decade of heartache, adventure, addiction, and life on the road, she began to alchemize raw emotions into a collection of songs that run the gamut from clever and rollicking, to gritty and gut-wrenching. Initially inspired to write by heroes like Loretta Lynn and Merle Haggard, now Doyle incorporates both classic and contemporary sensibilities into her songs - she draws on a range of influences to write candidly about loving, losing, hurting, and making a hot mess of things. “A lot of artists cite Jason Isbell or Ruston Kelly as…inspirations, but rarely do you hear the attention to detail and knack for describing emotions that prove they’ve really learned from those two master storytellers,” writes Carol Roth of Adventures in Americana, “With Doyle, you can tell.” In a short span, Doyle has established a reputation for a mesmerizing live show that brings audiences along for a ride - from the electrifying heights of a cathartic anthem to the pin-drop quiet intensity in a breakup ballad. She has been tapped to support artists such as The Cactus Blossoms, The Last Revel, and Them Coulee Boys.

All seating is first come first served! $13 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $20 DAY OF SHOW (+taxes) A musical project born from a long-running friendship, beginning during their Midwestern childhood, and followed by intermittent distance across regions, countries and cultures, Joe Westerlund and Trever Hagen are metamorphosing from their individual solo practices into a comprovisational duo. The sound world these two inhabit pays respect to the lineage of trumpet/ drum combinations found in the jazz and ambient idioms, while reaching back to the pairing's advent in ancient battle cries. On Thursday evening, they will perform a set of elegant ambient improvisation on melodic themes, fragments and noise. Trever Hagen is an trumpet player and producer who has collaborated with a range of musicians and ensembles (Bon Iver, Mouse on Mars, Marijuana Deathsquads, CARM, Aero Flynn) and is one-third of the electronica pop trio, Heavy MakeUp, along with Edie Brickell and CJ Camerieri. Hagen's solo trumpet electronica albums have been released by the labels 37d03d, Audiotong, Music of New Reference and No Icon. Joe Westerlund has emerged as an intuitive improviser and composer during the last decade, scoring deep meditative practice over the course of three full-length solo records. Westerlund—a longtime student of Milford Graves—has now spent more than a quarter-century gleaning lessons from folk musicians and avant-garde icons, from close friends and challenging strangers alike. He served as the dynamic backbone of Megafaun, the North Carolina trio of sophisticated songwriting and winning charisma that he cofounded. As a session drummer, he has worked as the pulse beneath the plaintive Americana of Watchhouse, Daughter of Swords, and Jake Xerxes Fussell and been a textural anchor for the folk abstraction of Califone and Bon Iver. Currently, he tours and records primarily in an improvisational trio, Setting (with Jaime Fennelly and Nathan Bowles), and as a solo artist on Psychic Hotline. Sam Moss is a songwriter and instrumentalist based in Staunton, Virginia. His newest album, Swimming (2025), has been acclaimed by publications like Uncut, No Depression, and Aquarium Drunkard. He has played hundreds of shows around the country and shared bills with Jake Xerxes Fussell, Joan Shelley, Diane Cluck, Doug Paisley, and others. He is also a woodworker.

The Melismatics bring their signature high-energy performance, fusing infectious hooks with weirdness and melody. Benjamin Cartel (NYC) joins the bill, celebrating the release of his new album Write At Home—a collection of heartfelt, road-worn songs that blend folk-pop storytelling with indie rock charm. Stone Arch Rivals round out the night, bringing their soulful indie rock sound to the stage as they celebrate the release of their brand-new single, Fire. MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST: Passion. Irony. Weirdness. Melody. These are the core elements that have defined The Melismatics’ sound over the years. With a catalog spanning eight albums and a reputation for electrifying live performances, the band has carved out a unique space in the post-punk and indie-rock landscape. At the heart of The Melismatics are the dynamic duo Ryan and Pony Smith, whose dual lead vocals and relentless energy drive the band’s signature sound. Ryan Smith, also known for his work with Soul Asylum and punk supergroup Ultrabomb, is the band’s primary songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for crafting infectious hooks. Pony Smith brings a bold, theatrical presence to the stage, shaped in part by growing up with deaf parents—an experience that fueled her expressive, high-energy performance style. On bass, Mark Wade adds his post-punk signature sound, bringing angular bass lines that are both driving and melodic, anchoring The Melismatics' sound with undeniable energy. His distinctive playing style has been a defining force in the band’s evolution. The Melismatics’ music has been produced by legendary figures such as Jon Auer (The Posies, Big Star) and John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, Har Mar Superstar), with Ryan Smith also taking the helm on various tracks. Their sound—a fusion of raw post-punk energy, indie-rock melodies, and a dash of new-wave urgency—has landed them placements on major TV networks, including MTV, NBC, and TeenNick, as well as festival stages like Lollapalooza, Summerfest, and CMJ. After years of relentless touring and studio evolution, The Melismatics continue to push boundaries, bringing their infectious energy to audiences worldwide. Keep an eye out—you might just hear them on a screen near you, or better yet, catch them crashing on a couch in your town. Benjamin Cartel is a lifer — a workingman's songwriter whose journey has taken him across much of the world, first as a member of Kaiser Cartel — whose critically-acclaimed albums earned the duo a spot in the folk-pop revival of the 21st century — and later as an adventurous solo artist. Write At Home, his fourth solo release, marks a new chapter in Cartel's unfolding story, rolling classic pop hooks, indie sensibilities, 1960s influences, and his own brand of American roots rock into a sound that's at once fresh and familiar Andrew Leahey Soulful Rock & Roll with grooves from both sides of the Mississippi... Formed in 2018, the Stone Arch Rivals bring a fresh, sophisticated, soulful spin to rock and roll, blending timeless grooves with heartfelt, roots-driven songwriting. Band members hail from across the Twin Cities, MN, and are constantly working to weave together their diverse musical backgrounds to create a sound that’s both earnest and electrifying. Known for their engaging performances and rich, soulful melodies, Stone Arch Rivals is more than a band for its members—it’s a return to music as a communal and creative experience. Whether playing at a variety of venues or crafting new tracks in the studio, they aim to connect deeply with their audiences and leave a lasting impression. With a new album releasing in 2025, Stone Arch Rivals continues to evolve, balancing modern influences with the classic sounds of rock and soul.

Coming up in Minneapolis, she collected favorite words to decorate the walls of her brain; as teenager, she thrilled in metaphor; and when she started writing songs and touring, she'd always lean in to pick up on the regional slang. Now, Dessa works in most fields that traffic in words: she's recorded rap bangers as part of the fiercely independent Doomtree collective, released a live album with the Grammy-winning Minnesota Orchestra; contributed to the New York Times and National Geographic Traveler; delivered a TED Talk on the intersection of romance and neuroscience that's notched more than 4 million views; hosted two seasons of the Deeply Human radio program (BBC/American Public Media/iHeartMedia); and published a memoir recounting most of the above called My Own Devices, published by Dutton (Penguin Random House). She lives in Minneapolis and Manhattan, still tours in a rented van, and is probably eavesdropping on the neighboring table, listening for a word to add to the collection.

6PM DOORS 8PM SHOW Full food and beverage menu available for this show. $20 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $27 DAY OF SHOW (+taxes) The name might not strike an immediate chord but Willie Waldman is one you'll find in the liner notes of great artists and groups such as Banyan, Rob Wasserman, Perry Farrell and the late Tupac Shakur. While the list goes on, there's much more to this trumpet players credit than simply recording as a sideman on many of today's contemporary artists albums. 

 Willie Waldman was born July 5th, in Santa Ana, California, summer of 1965. Since Willie was three years old he's been infatuated with music, specifically one instrument, namely, the trumpet. For years he begged his mother for the prize until she finally purchased his first trumpet at the age of seven, with the exception that he would learn to play. Now living in Westville, In. (Just East of Chicago) Saturday mornings brought those lessons with Mr. Claude, Willies first music instructor. Soon thereafter Willie found himself in school and in his first large ensemble situation with the Chesterton High School Marching Band in Chesterton Indiana. The band had won many state and national marching band competitions that led to Willies eventual scholarship with Memphis State University. This is where Willie feels he received his first real training. 

 Beale Street is where the action is in Memphis, and Willies calling beckoned him to find work playing on the famous strip. He met living legends Herman Green, Calvin Newborn and Jimmie Ellis (Willies first actual paid gig) at Club Handy. Willie recalls, "I would go there and sit in and they would have me playing John Coltrane songs. I was so horrible and lost. I remember Herman saying, If you want to keep coming and stinking up my stage you'd better take some lessons! So I started taking lessons from Herman and slowly honed my skills." 

 Now a member of Herman Green & the Green Machine (The Memphis Giant that produced such greats as James Williams, Mulgrew Miller, Kirk Whalum and others) Willie was playing five plus nights a week. As Willie and Herman became better friends they decided to try playing their music with a different approach in hopes of reaching a younger audience. Something with more of a rock/fusion flavor. Their conception and direction led to the 1987 formation of Freeworld. Freeworld became an educational breeding ground for many of Willies life long friends and fellow musicians and the group toured with huge name acts like Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Robert Cray Band, Albert King and Joe Cocker. 

After several years of playing and touring with Freeworld, Willies drive brought him to California in 1994 to meet up with friend and engineer David Aron. At the time, Dave was working with Death Row Studios mixing and recording Snoop Dog's latest release and Snoop wanted to polish the disc with a brass touch. Willie was in the City of Angels less than one week and was already recording with Raps biggest superstar! He went on to record with Tupac Shakur, The Dogg Pound, Dazz & Kurupt, K Ci & Jo Jo, Exhibit and Nate Dogg. Although the situation was different, the experience and musical level was never the less very much the same. It proved valuable as well because this eventually led to session work on studio soundtracks such as Tombstone, Under Siege 2 and 101 Dalmatians and also many commercials. 

 In 1997 Willie met Perry Farrell of Janes Addiction. Willie states, "Perry opened the door to the whole alternative rock scene for me. I did horn parts for Perry's project Gobalee using the original Earth, Wind & Fire horn section and went on to meet Janes Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins." A Waldman and Perkin's friendship ensued and Willie played, wrote and co-produced the second Banyan recording Anytime at All including some of Willie's original Memphis crew Clint Wagner and Ross Rice. Working with Clint and Ross also brought Willie yet another musical connection with the introduction of Rob Wasserman of the Grateful Dead. Wille recorded on Wasserman's Space Island project and Willie was once again, an integral part of the project, writing, playing and co producing. 

 Willies first album, The Willie Waldman Project was recorded largely in the summer of 2000. Produced and engineered by Dave Aaron, Willie has brought an array of talent to the table showcasing the musicianship of: Daniel Shulman (Garbage), John Molo (Mickey Hart/Phil Lesh), Tony Franklin (The Firm/Jimmy Page), Greg Kurstin (Sheryl Crow/Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Stephen Perkins (Janes Addiction/Banyan/Methods of Mayhem). An all original album, Willies thoughts are that this recording encompasses the roots of Memphis and the freeform of L.A. bringing an eclectic, jam oriented jazz album that will definitely knock your socks off! Twelve tunes strong, dip into the light Latin tinged Spanish Nights and the Acid feel of Surfin' Dog and Happy Days to start. You'll hear a definite Miles touch on Magic of Bear and Ursa Major while the back-beat of Rise Rise will make you want to shake your Memphis tail-feather! If avant-garde is your bag then it's here as well. Take a trip on the Cygnus X1.

Singer-songwriter Sammie Jean Cohen, was born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota 1990. She grew up listening to a wide range of music.

She one day dreams to open for Lucinda Williams And Heartless Bastards! Sammie also is releasing her very first single this Spring, 2025 Wild Horse. Check the teaser video above and stay tuned. WILD LYRE “It would be like if Kurt Vile and Mac DeMarco had a kid together, but then that kid met Tom Petty and they had a kid, but like Heartbreakers Petty, and that kid was actually Bob Seger, and then Seger had multiple kids w JJ Cale, and then all of Seger’s and JJ’s kids took acid together and locked each other in a studio to write songs and rehearse every Sunday night for two years in someone’s backyard drinking bubbly waters and rum and sometimes Miller Lite, but there was never any food so they’re all pretty hungry. It kinda sounds like that.” - C Holley Otherwise “Minnesota rock and roll band” will suffice ;). Jillian Rae is a powerhouse indie artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lauded as a “triple threat on vocals, fiddle and composition” (Star Tribune), Rae is a fiercely unique spirit who cares more about making authentic music than about conforming to expectations. After getting her start as a side-woman in a plethora of folk and americana bands (including Steve Kaul and the Brass Kings, Brian Just Band, Killer Hayseeds, and Duluth-based Two Many Banjos) Rae broke out on her own with her debut solo record Heartbeat in 2013, and since then has become a prolific performer and local favorite. Since Heartbeat, Jillian Rae has toured extensively, released 8 singles (Heart In A Jar, 2014; Superlungs, My Super Girl, 2015; When Doves Cry, 2017; Medication, 2018; Doing My Best, 2022; Stuck, 2022; Barely Breathing, 2023; and Silence, 2024), an EP (Wanderlust, 2017), and a second full length album (I Can’t Be The One You Want Me To Be, 2019). The album’s final track Wayward One was featured prominently in the hit Chinese film The White Storm 2 and has catapulted Rae into near stardom in China. In addition to performing, Rae is a producer, mentor, educator, and session player. She also co-owns Iron Bull Records recording studio in St. Paul, MN with her husband and partner Eric Martin. When she’s not working on music, Rae can be found wandering around in search of a good thrift shop, food spot, ghost story, music to hear, and pretty things to see. If you really want to get her going, ask her about her son (who is a handsome dog named Roadie), if she’s ever played the game Dominion, and/or her thoughts on Bigfoot.

The music has been written throughout different time periods in his life, and represents his connection to the music of Django Reinhardt. The band consists of Ryan Picone from The Red Hot Django Peppers, Ian Stenlund from The Mississippi Hot Club, Tessa Nichols Meade from the Cold City Heat, and Matt Blake from the Gentleman’s Anti Temperance League. This group is an all star group that brings together a new transfiguration of Jazz. CD Liner notes: The songs on this album are connected to a musical journey that spans several years of my life. The album’s title, I Awake, is an allusion to the great Django Reinhardt, to whom the album is dedicated. Each song, represents a story, a time, a place, a person, a moment, or a feeling - and the album as a whole explores the paradoxical and circular nature of beginning and end. Review by author; Michael Dregni. "Swinging, sensual, moody, rousing — Ryan Picone Quartet's music follows the trail of Django Reinhardt's Gypsy jazz. Listening to these tracks, you can almost smell the campfire smoke and see the nighttime lights of Paris burning on the horizon. Bon voyage!"
