Opening up for Molly Brandt and her band, we will be joined by award-winning bluegrass legends: Roe Family Singers, as well as the genre-bending funky rock n’ rollers of Jest. Complete with guest artist appearances, dance lessons, and a wide-ranging landscape of genres, styles, and vibes with Twin Cities all-star musicians. MOLLY BRANDT Named 2023 Americana Artist of the Year at the Midwest Country Music Awards, Molly Brandt is making waves in the independent music scene. Drawing inspiration from songwriting legends, 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, gritty stories. She released her first singles in 2022 and was soon performing at venues and festivals across the Midwest. Brandt captivates audiences with her fiery delivery, memorable attire and evocative lyrics as she showcases powerful vocals, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable performances. Her 2023 debut album, Surrender to the Night, blends honky-tonk, countrypolitan and alt-rock influences. She returned to the studio in early 2024, exploring an even broader range of roots music. The result is her second album, “American Saga”, with release date on September 27th, 2024. 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.” ROE FAMILY SINGERS Bonfire Records recording artists the Roe Family Singers are a Hard-Core Old-Time band from Minneapolis, MN.

Rhythms are deeper here, laying the foundation for the band’s new backing group, The Sunsettes (Lady Midnight , Molly Brandt, Jade (SPACEGLOW), and Lauda La Artista). Called on by Carranza, these Minnesota songstresses of love radiate over the band’s modest bravado. The 6 song EP, “Sunsets” released on Solstice June 20 2024. 

5PM DOORS-DRINKS-DINNER // 7PM SHOW START // $20 ADVANCE (+fees) // $27 AT THE DOOR // $35 PREMIUM BALCONY SEATING (+fees) About Clem Snide “The last ten years have been a rollercoaster of deep despair and amazing opportunities that somehow present themselves at the last possible second,” says Eef Barzelay. “During that time, the band bottomed out, I lost my house, and I had to declare bankruptcy. The only way to survive was to try to transcend myself, to find some kind of deeper, spiritual relationship with life. Once I committed to that, all these little miracles started happening.” ‘Forever Just Beyond,’ Barzelay’s stunning new album under the Clem Snide moniker, may just be the most miraculous of them all. Produced by Scott Avett, the record is a work of exquisite beauty and profound questioning, a reckoning with faith and reality that rushes headlong into the unknown and the unknowable. The songs here grapple with hope and depression, identity and perception, God and the afterlife, humanizing thorny existential issues and delivering them with the intimate, understated air of a late-night conversation between old friends. Avett’s production is similarly warm and inviting, and the careful, spacious arrangement of gentle guitars and spare percussion carves a wide path for Barzelay’s insightful lyrics and idiosyncratic delivery. “I look up to Eef with total respect and admiration,” says Avett, “and I hope to survive like he survives: with total love for the new and the unknown. Eef’s a crooner and an indie darling by sound and a mystic sage by depth. That’s not common, but it’s beautiful.” Named for a William S. Borroughs character, Clem Snide first emerged from Boston as a three-piece in the early 1990’s, and the group would go on to become a cult and critical favorite, picking up high profile fans from Bon Iver to Ben Folds over the course of three decades and more than a dozen studio albums. NPR highlighted the Israeli-born Barzelay as “the most underrated songwriter in the business today, with a sneakily firm grasp on poignancy and humor,” while Rolling Stone hailed his songwriting as “soulful and incisive,” and The New Yorker praised his music’s “soothing melodies and candid wit.”

One of Scotland’s finest songwriters, and a founding member of Trashcan Sinatras, Douglas has opened a new chapter in his life with the release of his eponymous debut album, via Reveal Records. Presenting an intimate snapshot of the talent, charisma and depth of this celebrated songsmith. The album was recorded live at Kyoti Studio in Glasgow with producer Mark Freegard (New Model Army, Lush, The Breeders, Del Amitri, Marillion). Featuring original material and new recordings of John's favourite Trashcan Sinatras' catalogue, and his own rendition of the Prefab Sprout classic ‘We Let The Stars Go’, this album reflects the genuineness of Douglas' music, also demonstrated in recent live peformance videos for 'Lost', 'I'm Not The Fella' and 'Always', plus Trashcan Sinatras' classics 'Oranges & Apples', 'Leave Me Alone' and 'Weightlifting'. Performing as a solo artist and also as part of his partner Eddi Reader’s band, John has been on the road a lot lately in the UK and Ireland, having also performed with friends like Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Jill Jackson, Withered Hand and James Grant (Love & Money) and Martin McAloon (Prefab Sprout). John’s decades of music as a vital member of Trashcan Sinatras, and now also a solo performer are based around an unwavering love for stories, for creating moments, and diving into a need for human connection that only happens through the power of songs. From living room shows, to clubs and small theatres, from festivals, to large events, you will always find John connecting with his fans, old and new, and making a difference with his music.

He says that set the stage for everything else in my life.” An early career in theater segued into a second career as a biotech lawyer. The third act – a return to creative life – emerged while raising her three children, one with profound developmental disabilities, and during her mother’s decline into Alzheimer’s. Poems written throughout her life began to come together as songs accompanied by the musical explorations of a self-taught guitar player. Lily’s music is described by Relix Magazine as “upp[ing] the emotional and political ante with … punchy tunes, delivered from a strong female perspective” and Postcard Elba says “The Patti Smith Group vibe is strong … both in the straight ahead rock n’ roll fire and passionate street poet vibes, and we’ll take that over ironic detachment … any day of the week.” Ink 19 adds “Vakili’s voice — yes, it is honey, in a cool glass of whiskey on the hottest night you remember…” Lily launched her recording career as a solo artist with two albums Lake City/Next 3 Exits and Meadowlands, before forming the five-member Vakili Band. The Vakili Band collaboration produced three studio albums, Oh Alright, Walking Sideways, and 2023’s Honey. Described by Under the Radar as "an electric blend of Rock, Soul & Psychedelia...", the Honey album exemplifies the collaborative bacchanalia of Lily’s band, having honed their distinctive sound in the studio as well as on tour up and down the East Coast. “Returning to the stage as a solo artist feels like coming full circle as well as an artistic metamorphosis” - Lily says - “I’m reminded of my beautiful mother’s words and the moment of my liberation as a creative person: ‘What is stopping you? No one else will do it for you’.”

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.

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.

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.

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.” 

5PM DOORS 7PM MUSIC $20 ADVANCE $27 AT THE DOOR Join Leslie Vincent and Jillian Rae for an evening of music that spans genres, vibes, and moods. Leslie Vincent is a prolific songwriter and jazz vocalist, who’s quickly become one of the most notable voices around town. Jillian Rae is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and indie darling who has become known as one of the most powerful and unique voices in the Twin Cities music scene. These two powerhouses are joining forces to bring their unique worlds of musical artistry together for one spectacular night on the Icehouse stage. ABOUT JILLIAN RAE Lauded as a “triple threat on vocals, fiddle and composition” (Star Tribune), Jillian Rae is a fiercely unique spirit who cares more about making authentic music than about conforming to expectations. The Minneapolis-based, classically trained violinist turned versatile fiddler has become a commanding international presence— writing powerful genre-bending songs, heading up her own critically acclaimed indie rock band, and backing up Grammy-winning acts like The Okee Dokee Brothers. Although she got her start playing with folk and country bands, Rae’s most recent album I Can’t Be the One You Want Me to Be (2019) took a decided turn into pop and rock with unflinching, hard-hitting songs. It also showcased her orchestration abilities with layered violin tracks saturated in heavy grooves and moody arrangements. The album’s final track “Wayward One” was featured prominently in the blockbuster Chinese film The White Storm 2 and has catapulted her into near stardom in China. Rae’s most current releases are a series of singles that showcase her genre-spanning writing style— Doing My Best (2022), Stuck (2022), Barely Breathing (2023), and Silence (2024), the last of which being the first single off her long awaited forthcoming album. In addition to her work as a solo artist, Jillian Rae is also an in-demand producer and session player, known for her soaring pop orchestrations, arrangements, and fiddle parts.

In 2020, she released her debut album These Foolish Things, which garnered much critical attention from fans and music critics in the Twin Cities, especially from Jazz88 FM, where she’s become a regular in-studio guest. She’s recorded with the band Viewers Like You and performed alongside Twin Cities legends including jeremy messersmith, Joyann Parker, and Patty Peterson.

The two vowed to create a project that was uniquely theirs and sonically embodied some of the sweetest elements in life like joy, resiliency, love, peace and liberation. Together they bring a heartfelt stage show with high energy, presence and a sound meant to heal and uplift those in attendance.

DJ JUST NINE Just Nine is a DJ that understands the essence of a Hip-Hop DJ; planning sets meticulously by using his craft to grab and hold any crowd’s attention. His precision with cutting and scratching during his live sets is reminiscent of DJ's Jazzy Jeff, Mix Master Mike, and Premier. Being fortunate enough to have had an abundance of musical influences early in life such as Jazz, Soul, Funk, Rap, R&B, Electronic, Rock & Roll and many more, the art of mixing, blending vinyl and creating a vibe come naturally for Kenichi aka DJ Just Nine.

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.
