7PM DOORS 8PM SHOW $14 ADVANCE $20 AT THE DOOR ABOUT FOREIGN FIELDS Foreign Fields have spent the last few years actively trying to simplify their lives. In 2022, with the world drastically changing, they realized a desire to do things differently: they sought out joy and excitement. Pulling a live band together with their long-time musical companies Nate Babbs (drums) and Nick Morawiecki (guitar), ideas were shared, songs were sketched in real-time, and they focused on no longer being so precious about their band’s output. The result is What It Cost, the fourth full-length album and a reimagining of all that the band stands for. The album is a collection of ten newly formed songs, buoyed by friendship and the power of collaborative spirit. It’s as loose and free as they’ve ever sounded while retaining the emotive shimmer that has always provided the band’s beating heart. What It Cost follows a body of work that includes three full-length albums spanning the previous decade. Their all-encompassing 2020 LP, The Beauty Of Survival, was a lush blurring of folk, ambient, and electronica, preceded by 2017’s Take Cover and 2012’s Anywhere But Where I Am. Eric and Brian saw it then, as they do now, as the end of a chapter, the final part of a trilogy where they found answers to the questions they’d previously posed. What It Cost opens up a new chapter of Foreign Fields.

This night of poetry will feature special guests performances by Allison Broeren, Shane Hawley, Kyle Tran Myhre, & Ollie Schminkey! Neil Hilborn returns with the poignant and profound collection About Time. Balancing between devastation and perseverance, About Time shares the struggle to maintain mental health during the recent global crises. With his distinctly conversational tone and dark humor, Hilborn breaks down the cycle of mental illness—small improvements, setbacks, and the process of recovery. This collection fights against itself as the poems try to find a place for hope, love, and goodness in a lonely, terrifying world—ultimately, inspiring belief in and connection to all the small joys that we can find. Fans new and old will be stunned by Hilborn’s third collection. Continuing in the legacy of his previous works, About Time is hot soup for the troubled soul and absolutely cannot be missed. ABOUT YOUR FEATURES: Neil Hilborn (he/him) is a best-selling author and, with over 150 million views to his credit, he is the most-watched poet ever. He has performed in 41 states and 8 countries, and in 2019 alone he drove coast to coast five times while on tour.

His favorite sandwiches come from: Primanti Bros in Pittsburgh, Black’s BBQ in Austin, one specific Publix in Tampa, and a torta truck he found while stranded in Pasco, Washington. One time on stage he accidentally punched the microphone and broke his wedding ring, and thanks to years of therapy he did not interpret this as a sign. His preferred stage entrance music is “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen, during which he walks very slowly.

He and his wife live on a hobby farm outside Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where they adopt too many animals.

Their 2022 debut album “The Path I Chose to Walk” received international acclaim.

The musicianship is stellar, with fingerpicking on acoustic guitar & banjo.

7:30PM DOORS 8:30PM SHOW $20 ADVANCE $27 DAY OF SHOW Join us in the Starlight Room! Seating will be first come, first served. Living Thing, the newest full-length album from Oregon-based songwriter Anna Tivel, is an arcing dive into the existential. Written through the tumultuous eyes of 2020 and recorded in Eau Claire, WI in profound collaboration with long-time friend and producer Shane Leonard, these are songs of struggle and aliveness expressed with great joy. “I wrote feverishly in the strange chaos of that year, suddenly out of work and attempting to understand the shifting human fabric, the depth of desperation, and the overwhelming tenacity of spirit. The resulting songs felt rhythmic and vital, with more melody and soaring chorus than I’ve explored in the past. There was no way and no means to gather a full band, and I brought the songs to Shane’s doorstep knowing and fully trusting the skill and exuberance of his creative imagination. Shane stripped everything down to the studs and we rebuilt it together, just the two of us for a month in his garage studio, Shane dreaming up each sonic layer while I chased the lyrics to one last double chorus.” 

5PM DOORS 7PM SHOW $18 ADVANCE $23 AT THE DOORS SETTING Setting is Nathan Bowles (solo/trio, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) on strings, keys, tapes, and percussion; Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors, Peeesseye) on harmoniums, synthesizers, and piano zither; and Joe Westerlund (solo, Califone, Sylvan Esso, Jake Xerxes Fussell) on drums, percussion, and metallophones. Setting established its own setting and found its footing in regularly scheduled improvisational sessions outside Westerlund’s home in Durham, North Carolina, beginning in 2021. The three players began as two, in the context of occasional Bowles and Westerlund percussion duo performances dating back to 2018. Fennelly provided the initial impetus to gather and play together with intentionality and discipline, as well as an harmonic adhesive and thickening agent in the grain and gravity of his harmonium and synthesizer. As always, Bowles’s background as a pianist and drummer informs his approach to banjo, imparting a woodiness, a piney verticality and resinous tang. Westerlund’s training with Milford Graves is apparent in his polyrhythmic flow and its correspondences to human circulatory and corporeal rhythms. They recorded their collective discoveries on their debut album “Shone a Rainbow Light On” (Paradise of Bachelors), which Uncut gave a "9/10" and Mojo Magazine listed as #3 of Underground Records of 2023, calling it “a record that spectacularly reconciles micro-detailed improv with deep-listening ambience.”

7PM DOORS 8PM SHOW $12 ADVANCE $18 DAY OF SHOW $10 STUDENT TICKET W/ ID AT THE DOOR Celebrating the release of their new single, Dial Tone will be coming to Icehouse with Lighter Co., Scorched Waves, and Soulflower. The evening will be a unique blend of rock, punk, indie-pop, and jazz. Come ready to mosh. Presented by Radio K. ABOUT DIAL TONE Dial Tone embodies the DIY ethos of the Minneapolis underground scene. Guitarist (Cole Pivec), drummer (Henning Hanson), and vocalist (Daisy Forester) met as students in their first year at the University of Minnesota and blend together backgrounds in classical music, jazz, and rock to create their distinctive sound. Within a year of existence, the band self-recorded, produced, and released a full-length concept album aurally tracing the evolution of underground music in the Twin Cities, all from their bedroom studio in Marcy Holmes, Minneapolis. Dial Tone has consistently defied categorization, evident in their debut self-titled album (which spans alt-rock, grunge, punk, and indie pop). With their most recent release -- Time For A Living -- they have once more demonstrated their capacity for musical range. Dial Tone's latest project was completed fully DIY while every member was on a different continent, and includes stripped-down reimaginings of four songs off their debut record and a cover of Hippo Campus' "Suicide Saturday", live-recorded at The Fine Line. Moving forward, Dial Tone has every intention of continuing to explore new genres, topics, and ways of engaging in and supporting the independent DIY Twin Cities scene, and zero intention of becoming any more categorizable beyond that. ABOUT SCORCHED WAVES Scorched Waves, is an indie rock sensation hailing from Stevens Point, WI. The band, comprising Tyler Armstrong (Guitar), Al Vuorinen (Bass), Jaren Wojcik (Keyboards & Auxiliary Percussion), Damian Kessler (Drums), and Tiernan Brinkman (Vocals), bring a dynamic energy born from their diverse touring experiences. From intimate basements to iconic venues like Chicago’s Navy Pier and Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Scorched Waves leaves an indelible mark with their powerful performances. Self described as “Groove-Punk” The quintet has comparable sounds to the likes of Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, The Bravery, and The Kooks offering a unique blend of Indie/Alternative Rock, Post Punk, and Pop Punk. ABOUT LIGHTER CO Rooted in Minneapolis and formed in early 2019, Lighter Co. (formerly Zippo Man) has since garnered a reputation for their live performances. Often considered “genre-fluid”, the band is known for covering a vast sonic terrain throughout a set - and never without their suits, boots, and white Stetson. ABOUT SOULFLOWER Drawing inspiration from a myriad of influences SoulFlower brings a fusion of raw energy and soulful melodies to venues across the Twin Cities. As they continue to evolve and explore different sonic territories, SoulFlower remains dedicated to their craft, channeling their collective passion and authenticity into every performance. With unwavering commitment to musical genuineness and the experience of life, SoulFlower invites listeners to share the journey through the lessons and triumphs of creation. With Zeke pulsating rhythms driving the groove, Matt and Victor’s intricate guitar melodies intertwining sonic textures and Inayah’s soulful vocals and pulsating basslines anchoring the ensemble, SoulFlower delivers a mesmerizing live experience that resonates with people of all musical persuasions.

With the release of their latest single "Something Good,” the fivesome is ushering in a new era of high-energy indie pop rock while still maintaining the lyrical integrity, powerhouse vocals and early 2000s-esque style that defines their sound. Frontwoman Maria Coyne chronicles her journey in love, struggles with depression and anxiety, and finding herself in a vulnerable yet resilient way that leaves the listener hopeful about what can happen when we fight for the light within ourselves and find joy in the little corners of the universe. The result is a tapestry of big-picture pop anthems, soulful ballads, and driving-with-the-windows-down-belt-your-heart-out bangers. Maria and the Coins have opened for Christina Perri, Papa Roach, Betty Who, JP Saxe and Haley Reinhart. Their debut album ‘Forward’ received local and national radio play with the lead single “Movin’ On” gaining traction on Spotify with over 300k streams.

Named 2023 Americana Artist of the Year at the Midwest Country Music Awards, Molly Brandt is making waves in the independent music scene. With her powerful vocals, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable performances, her songs weave tales of heartache, resilience, and triumph, delving into blue-collar struggles, dive bar revelries, long car rides, and cold-blooded revenge. With a musical background that includes stints as a classical pianist and jazz vocalist, Brandt found her songwriting voice when she turned to roots music, using a tapestry of Americana styles to tell her vivid and gritty stories. She released her first singles in 2022 and was soon performing at venues and festivals across the Midwest. Her 2023 debut album, Surrender to the Night, blends honky-tonk, countrypolitan, and alt-rock influences. Her next album, American Saga, is set to release on September 27th, 2024 and singles off this project have been rolling out throughout the summer of 2024. Her new material explores an even broader range of roots and Americana music, breaking the mold of Americana and country to form a sound that is all her own. In early 2024, her band performed on The Rhinestone Teardrops Tour alongside Chicago-based artist, Reilly Downes & The Acid Cowboys, traveling across the United States, performing in Austin, Nashville, Memphis, and Chicago, to name a few. Her band continuously captivates audiences with a fiery delivery, memorable attire, and evocative lyrics. As we hear what this next iteration of Molly Brandt sounds like, one thing we can count on is that it’s going to be unforgettable. “Take a ride with me,” she sings in one song that could be an advertisement for her own music. “Light me up, you know you can’t resist / ’Cause I’m like propane and cigarettes.”
