Drawing on their individual backgrounds in jazz and rock n' roll, Rabeca fuses improvised solos with catchy hooks. Their debut album Potluck (2020) captured the band’s love for a good meal while their most recent release Junk (2023) reflects current themes of quarantine and longing amidst the digital age. Rabeca is Alex (keys/vox), Anna (saxophone/vox), Colleen (guitar/vox), David (bass), and Satchel (drums).

5:30PM DOORS 7:30PM MUSIC $12 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $19 AT THE DOOR (+taxes) ALL AGES ABOUT ERIC MAYSON Eric Mayson, an innovative noise-maker from Minneapolis, has made a name for himself with a unique sound that merges elements of emotive piano, hip-hop, R&B, and indie pop. As a versatile multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer, Mayson has worked alongside prominent artists like Lizzo, Your Smith, Aby Wolf, Atmosphere, Dessa, and countless other artists in the Twin Cities music scene. His solo projects are known for their passionate lyrics, lush harmonies, maximalist production, and soulful style. In 2019, Mayson embarked on a new chapter, returning to school to study aviation, and now works as a flight instructor. With Rerun, Mayson invites listeners into a journey that’s as much a revisiting as it is a transformation. What began in the summer of 2019 as a burst of creativity—ten one-minute songs quickly captured and shared online—has evolved into a full-length album, meticulously woven through the threads of time, change, and return. Each track on Rerun is a conversation between past and present, where new experiences and perspectives respond to the raw inspiration of that nervous and exciting summer. Through his experience of leaving Minneapolis, returning to school, changing careers and finally coming back to both the city and his music, Mayson’s journey finds itself echoed in each song, creating a sense of déjà vu with fresh insight—like an episode you've seen before that feels both familiar and newly profound—a time capsule; a reprise; a Rerun!

Maria and the Coins' invite you to their fourth annual "Holly Jolly Christmas Show" with special guests Molly Brandt and Raegan Elizabeth. Enjoy an evening of original music from all three artists as well as some holiday favorites! ABOUT MARIA AND THE COINS Minneapolis indie pop-rockers Maria and the Coins are marking a new chapter. 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. The Minneapolis-based fivesome is currently recording new music set for release in early 2025. For more, visit www.mariaandthecoins.com. 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.”

Hemma has most recently opened the stage for artists – Marika Hackman, Infinity Song, Mike Kota, S. Carey, Barbaro, The Brother Brothers, and The Cactus Blossoms. Her debut full length album Abalone Sky will be released in early 2025 and is co-produced with Sean Carey and Brian Joseph in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

When Aby Wolf was invited to curate December Mondays at Icehouse, Kavyesh Kaviraj and Pete James Johnson were among the first gifted artists to come to mind for a double bill. Unexpectedly, those separate inquiries revealed interest to not only collaborate with Wolf on something new for each potential set, the idea to join forces as a trio and craft a collage of common ground was instantly compelling. To further elevate the experiment, the three will anchor an evening featuring works arranged by Johnson and Kaviraj for Twin Cities' own Laurels String Quartet. This will be a stunning evening; get there. ABOUT ABY WOLF Aby Wolf is a Twin Cities-based vocalist, music maker, and passionate collaborator with an elastic skillset.

ABOUT KAVYESH KAVIRAJ Having collaborated with some of Minnesota’s most esteemed musicians, Kavyesh Kaviraj has solidified himself as one of the most sought-after composers, arrangers and pianists in the Twin Cities. Taking influences from his birthplace of Oman, his rich Indian heritage, and the place he now calls home, the St. Paul virtuoso utilizes his astounding ability to craft compelling musical narrative, imbuing his life’s essence into each of his acclaimed compositions. For the past seven years, Kavyesh has channelled his most transformative experiences and lessons from his heart to the piano, through the language of Jazz. ABOUT PETE JAMES JOHNSON Pete James Johnson is a drummer, composer and educator in the Twin Cities - most often seen playing jazz and improvised music but is at home in a variety of musical worlds.

ABOUT THE LAURELS STRING QUARTET After a chance meeting over a decade ago, The Laurels String Quartet fell into being and quickly became a staple of the Minneapolis music scene.

6PM DOORS/DRINKS/FOOD 8PM SHOW $12 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $19 AT THE DOOR (+taxes) For the past 18 years, Consolation Champ has played a benefit show on December 23rd, reuniting with many musical friends to celebrate the season and raise money for Twin Cities non-profits doing great work to serve the community. They are honored to hold the 19th installment back at Icehouse this year, with artist proceeds benefiting Free Guitars for Kids (FG4K) and their mission to transform the lives of kids in underserved communities through the gift of a guitar. Friend of the band Matt Houchin, who has been making history (and raising funds) for FG4K in 2024 by becoming the first person to wear a Hard Rock Cafe shirt every single day of a calendar year, will be on hand to finish his Hard Rock Shirt-a-thon on a high note. ABOUT FREE GUITARS FOR KIDS Founded in St. Louis Park in 2021, FG4K is focused on changing the lives of children through the gift of music. FG4K not only believes music is one of the greatest gifts to be given, but also that the opportunity to play, compose or perform songs is one that every child should be afforded; and it is their goal to do just that! FG4K believes that putting an instrument into the hands of a kid does not go far enough to ensure that the child receives the full benefit of an instrument. That’s why FG4K seeks out partner organizations across the country to help ensure kids receive lessons, but more importantly, mentorship. They want these kids to thrive and the guitar is an instrument towards that goal! Nonprofit organizations across the country can apply to bring FG4K to their organization. https://fg4k.org/ https://fg4k.org/mattrocksshirts/ ABOUT CONSOLATION CHAMP Consolation Champ played their first show together in January of 2005 at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. 375 performances, 37 states, 4 weddings, 11 children, and 6 dogs later, these balding buddies from Bloomington Minnesota continue to pursue good songs and good shows that move people. Shorthand for a Long Walk is the band’s fourth album and was extremely fun to make. A record meant to inspire reflection and creativity amid the demands of adulthood, it’s C. Champ’s best attempt yet at making songs with universal subject matter and a classic sound that still manage to be interesting. consolationchamp.com instagram.com/consolation_champ facebook.com/consolationchamp https://www.youtube.com/@consolationchamp9714 ABOUT JOEY RYAN & THE INKS Technically dormant for over a half decade, Joey Ryan & The Inks will once again reunite at Eve Eve to play a handful of songs from their catalog. Leaning into sunny psychedelia, harmonies, and tight arrangements, this band makes pop music bursting at the seams with warmth and color. https://joeyryanandtheinks.bandcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/jrandtheinks1 https://www.instagram.com/theinksdontstink https://www.facebook.com/joeyryanandtheinks ABOUT THE EXCHANGE The Exchange used to do cool things.

Fronted by the magnetic and disarming Meghan Kreidler, this is a band that doesn’t just play. They combust. And watching them set the stage ablaze, it’s hard not to feel oneself release, too, like a collective exhale set to ratcheting guitars, buoyant bass lines and Kreidler’s perfectly pitched screams. Theirs is a clean-burning fire. Hell, you might even call it healing. -Andrea Swensson, author, podcast host, and music journalist 2024 has included many career highlights for the band including opening slots for musical heroes Lucinda Williams and Joan Jett. The band has also introduced new members Alyse Emanuel on drums, Lynn Hu on keys, and returning original member Alex Sandberg on lead guitar.

8PM DOORS/DRINKS/FOOD 9PM SHOW $10 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $17 AT THE DOOR (+taxes) ABOUT PURPLE FUNK METROPOLIS Purple Funk Metropolis is a charismatic seven-piece instrumental band with a raw sound inspired by soul, jazz, funk and more. Their origins trace back to jazz classes at the University of Minnesota, where Andrew Tomten (Bandleader & saxophone) met Alex Browne (trumpet), Sam Rosenstone (keys), Tarek Abdelqader (drums) and Andy Schupp (bass). Various iterations of bands and musical projects developed until the group, with the addition of Alex Graves (guitar) recorded their first EP Morsels in 2017 under the name Purple Funk Metropolis. The band has continually been performing, recording, and rehearsing since, which has allowed for their sound to mature and evolve. The addition of Evan Slack (guitar) to the group in 2019 added a new level of live energy and allowed for more dense arrangements of tunes old and new. Still playing venues all around the Twin Cities and surrounding midwest, PFM’s energy notoriously gets the whole room dancing. ABOUT BRUNETTE Brunette is a 5-piece indie rock outfit from the twin cities. Formed in late 2020 by childhood friends/dual songwriters Sam Holt and Joey Hays, their songs are evocative of the nostalgia and impermanence of adolescence, with tunes oscillating between energetic, guitar-heavy choruses and intimate heart-on-their-sleeve verses.

Bri Bagwell + Austin Plaine

Bri Bagwell + Austin Plaine

Sun, Mar 30

6PM DOORS/DRINKS/FOOD 8PM MUSIC $20 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $27 AT THE DOORS (+taxes/fees) ABOUT AUSTIN PLAINE Like only the most insightful songwriters, Austin Plaine draws intense emotion from the subtlest moments. On his sophomore album Stratford, the Minnesota-bred, Nashvillebased musician shapes his lyrical storytelling with both precision and pure feeling, capturing every nuance of lost love and longing and fractured innocence. And while Stratford is steeped in a warm nostalgia, Plaine instills each song with a quiet optimism that speaks to bravely moving forward, even in troubled times. Produced by Jay Foote and mixed by Steve Vealey (M. Ward, Phoenix, Hurray for the Riff Raff) at the legendary Electric Lady Studios, Stratford arrives as the follow-up to Plaine’s self-titled debut—a 2015 release that earned comparisons to Bob Dylan and Conor Oberst from Baeble Music. In a departure from that more stripped-down effort, Plaine assembled a full-fledged band who recorded in an apartment in Brooklyn, infusing Stratford with a homegrown feel and loose yet kinetic energy. Taking its title from the Flatbush street where the album came to life, Stratford offers a classically arranged take on folk-rock that illuminates the intimacy of Plaine’s vocal work and the graceful candor of his lyrics. From track to track, the 27-year-old singer/guitarist reveals a refined sense of songcraft that he partly credits to moving to Nashville from his hometown of Minneapolis in early 2017. “Being part of a whole community of songwriters, you realize there’s a lot of different directions you can take a song,” he says. “It’s really opened me up as a writer, and it’s also helped me to hone in on every word of every line that I write.” With its abundance of indelible images—night trains and the Northern Lights, backyard camping and drive-in romance—Stratford also bears a richness of detail that hints at the literary and cinematic influence behind Plaine’s songwriting. “People tend to think my songs are personal because I sing in the first person, but often it’s very observational for me,” says Plaine, who names Alexandre Dumas and Henry Miller among his inspirations. “I’m learning to understand new philosophies of life, love, and death”, attributing his passion for reading has helped him attain a better sense of his surroundings. Proving the emotional depth of Plaine’s artistry, Stratford opens with the wistful reminiscence of “Something More” (a steel-guitar-laced track “like a movie I’ve seen before / way back when / we were something more” sings Plaine in the chorus), then slips into the bittersweet, burned-but-not-broken ache of “What Kind of Fool” (a rollicking, country-tinged number co-written with Sixpence None the Richer’s Leigh Nash and Stephen Wilson). Later, on “Lucky Ones”, Plaine presents a more hopeful portrait unconditional love, with singer/songwriter Soren Bryce lending her vocals to the chorus’s bright and beautiful harmonies. 

Jeffrey Martin w/ Lou Hazel

6PM DOORS/DRINKS/FOOD 8PM SHOW $18 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $25 AT THE DOOR (+taxes) ABOUT JEFFREY MARTIN On a small corner lot in southeast Portland, Oregon, Jeffrey Martin holed up through the winter recording his quietly potent new album Thank God We Left The Garden. Long nights bled into mornings in the tiny shack he built in the backyard, eight feet by ten feet. What began as demos meant for a later visit to a proper studio became the album itself, spare and intimate and true. Recorded live and alone around two microphones, Jeffrey often held his breath to wait for the low diesel hum of a truck to pass one block over on the busy… ABOUT LOU HAZEL Lou Hazel was born in the town of Olean, New York to a family of northeastern wiseacres. Not one to commit, he skirted the compulsive hunting and fishing tradition held close to his father’s heart - instead cultivating a sensitivity more suited to artists and vagabonds. As a result, his travels brought him across the country and eventually through debilitating depression before coming to rest with a sense of personal peace and positivity in Durham, NC. Yet, Lou’s brain is still a bat cave. Mostly, he wakes up with no idea what he’s going to do next, then finds himself there. In songwriting, he pulls from this cave rambling, heartfelt tales flowing through unselfconscious truth. In illustrations, he swirls and meanders towards an eventual finish only understood upon completion – as in his music. And in his photography and design work, he renders the essence of fellow musicians into expressive, personalized works of art. Today, Louie continues crafting genuine folk tales of honest longing, disquieting loss, and nostalgia through a brilliant sheen of fresh insight with humble humor. Grabbing us by the ears in a new-age, Prine-like grip. Transforming the minutiae of everyday life into ever more evocative music. And surprising us all, including himself, with where we emerge. In other words, Lou Hazel is coming out of this unbearable, unbelievably tragic, disconcerting year like a damn newborn moth with jet engine wings aimed toward a totally full super-moon. And it is good.

6PM DOORS/DRINKS/FOOD 8PM SHOW $25 ADVANCE (+taxes/fees) $30 AT THE DOOR (+taxes) ABOUT MARK GUILIANA Hailed by The New York Times as “a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed,” Grammy-nominated superstar drummer & composer Mark Guiliana brings an adventurous spirit, eclectic palette, and gift for spontaneous invention to a staggering range of styles. Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz, boundary-stretching electronic music, or next-level rock, he’s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as St. Vincent, Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden), Brad Mehldau, M83, Meshell Ndegeocello, and the late, great David Bowie. Guiliana’s latest release ‘MARK’, is his first entirely solo work which boldly showcases him as composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion, piano, synthesizers and more. This new foray into his growing body of renowned work, recorded at Studio 606 in Los Angeles, is a culmination of Guiliana's experiences and inspirations, and at the same time the catalyst of a new direction. 'MARK' follows his first two acclaimed Edition Records albums 'the sound of listening' and 'Mischief'.
