The upcoming record is a leap from “banaag,” their first recording captured in-between takes at The Bridge Studio. “seladona” is an invitation to put the weight down, close your eyes, and let the sun warm your eyelids. sunpearl thanks Luke Rivard, Tobias Ramaswamy, and Shahzad Ismaily for bringing their sophomore record to full technicolor. sunpearl is an ambient vocal project that draws improvisation from the softness of open spaces, and the quiet of the light’s journey across shimmering water. Through gentle reflective soundscapes, sunpearl creates a feeling of calm and introspection, drawing listeners in. This evening’s iteration of sunpearl is Isabel Fajardo (vocals, effects), Toby Ramaswamy (drums), Kevin Gamble (keys), and Trevor Peterson (Bass). The members of Tahiti (Aaron Baum, Evan Slack, Toby Ramaswamy, and Trevor Peterson, featuring Alex Nutter) will link their instruments and minds together and improvise longform, driving, prog-rock cloudscapes. For fans of can, SML, and Musical Instrument Digital Interfaces. Emerging artist and producer Young Dervish has been creating music intercontinentally for over a decade. Frequently collaborating and producing for artists in his current home city Minneapolis, MN, the Pakistani/American artist is ready to show everyone the more personal side of his expression. His music blends the fidelity of the digital age with the timelessness of analogue texture to create a sound that is both massive and intimate.

In The Middle Tour with The Matriarch featuring anni xo and Waking Hours

Fri, May 01

6pm Doors 8pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. 21+ $15 Adv (+fees/taxes) $22 Doors (+fees/taxes) The Matriarch brings their In The Middle Tour to Minneapolis in support of their new EP, The Middle. Marking a new chapter for the band, the project is their first release fully as a duo and explores themes of transition, identity, and persistence. Come celebrate the new era with us with incredible local support from anni xo and Waking Hours! The Matriarch Bio: The Matriarch is a queer, indie rock/folk pop duo based in Chicago, IL, made up of Mal Babcock and Mal Benoit- two best friends who share a name, a home, and a creative codependency that works too well. What started as a pandemic-era accident (shoutout to an unexpected knee injury) turned into a full-blown band fueled by cosmic timing and emotional honesty. Their determination to grow together musically and to create a safe, inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community made them darlings of the local music scene. Four years later, the band has played over 100 shows across the Midwest, opening for contemporaries including Kid Sistr, Okey Dokey, Busman’s Holiday and Glad Rags. Their songs are a celebration of shared human experience and a testament to the transformative nature of art. Whether they’re writing about personal regret and climate dread (‘The End’), or the constraints of capitalism and a longing for change (‘K!’), themes of community, love, and growth remain at the heart of everything they do. Anni xo bio: Anni xo (they/them) is a young queer musician hailing from Minnesota who found solace in music as a means to explore their identity and embrace the complexities of life. Inspired by the likes of boygenius, Annie Dirusso, and Dora Jar, anni's music is a refreshing blend of alternative songwriting and pop stylings that expertly convey themes of love, loss, and the struggles of youth in a post-modern landscape. Onstage, anni xo is joined by a talented ensemble of musicians, including Maddie Thies (any pronouns) on bass guitar, Riley Jacobson (he/him) on electric guitar, Aurelio Sandoval (he/him) on drums, and Hunter SinClair Hawthorne (he/him) on keys and production Waking Hours Bio: Waking Hours is an ethereal indie rock group based in southern MN, comprised of members Liv Hedley, Hayden Tourtelotte, Henry Lundeen-Detisch, Connor Jolly, and Christer Khuen. Waking Hours weaves together shimmering guitars, roaring vocals, and driving rhythms to create a whimsically colorful sonic atmosphere.

Artists Statement on the album: In the happening of the second rain - a remnant wind pushing the last of the water from the leaves of the Oak/ the Maple/ and the late flowers of the Linden Tree/ Giving once again to the understory/ a ruby throated hummingbird lands on the dead branch of an old willow/ perhaps to dry their heavy wings to chase once again the nectar that took so long to arrive/ two cardinals call upon their respective stoic posts/ the stand of spruce/ many blooms have come and gone - many blooms are on their way/ the world is framed in green/ for a moment/ in this brief time/ I am allowed to see it/ On the western edge of the canopy a thousand bolts of lightening break/ rage and hope/ brilliantly intertwined/ shatter in the sky/ a world with such beauty/ matched only by tragedy/ forever illuminated to the open eye/ And then I remember/ You curse this place/ at least once every season/ it came too quickly or too late for your liking/ it stayed too long or plunged into a depth too deep for swimming/ the falling could last forever but never does it ever/ Beauty never fades/ only the eyes have calloused of the beholder/ Perfect happened once but that was years ago/ And it seems only the angered can ever remember/ The march of the mud creeps to February/ In these woods of the buckthorn berry/ pruned/ black/ dangling/ the low lying fruit/ The last meal/ a bitter one/ Your shrine to the dead and dying/ Exposed by hot snow/ is a small offering/ The ash of burned branches is another/ You beg the seeds to lay dormant/ just a while longer/ This is how you ask for forgiveness/ For the unkind words you said/ during a brief moment of anger/ in the windchill/ And perhaps/ if I’ve earned it/ you will forgive me/ with hazelnuts and serviceberries/ https://lukecallen.com/ Volouse Bio: Tree bark, chipped paint, the sweet wrinkle of a smile, the glow of an old jukebox. It is the sounds of small details like these that characterize the kaleidoscopic music of Voulouse, a new recording project from Midwest songwriter and veteran touring artist Jacquelyn Beaupré. http://voulouse.com/

Moe Reen with Michael Gay & Sadie Gustafson-Zook

Moe Reen with Michael Gay & Sadie Gustafson-Zook

Wed, May 06

6pm Doors 8pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. Seating is first come, first serve. 21+ Starlight Show: $15 Adv (+fees/taxes) $22 Doors (+fees/taxes) Moe’s Bio Country-folk songsmith Moe Reen writes from the heart, for the heart. A lifelong vocalist, their old-school country voice harkens to honky-tonk-heartbreak crooners of yesteryear, while their lyrics appeal to the personal-political concerns of today. The songs on their debut EP, Grow Again, include a finger-picked reflection on the malaise of seasonal depression alongside a slow-dancing lament likening climate deniers to unrequited lovers. Moe's marriage of sentimental sound with contemporary sentiment produces something distinctly their own: earnest lyrics cradled by melodies that tenderly soar to tend to the sore, soft spots of us all. Moe's debut album, Scribbled Line, was recorded live and released in June 2025. It is now available for purchase on vinyl through their bandcamp. “After releasing a very promising EP last year, Moe Reen is back with a full-length that decisively delivers on that promise. The Ohio singer-songwriter has a big following on TikTok thanks to their distinctive covers of old Patsy Cline and Johnny Mathis songs, but Scribbled Line is filled with original tunes about love and loss, the distance between the two, and the longing that fills that space. Moe Reen is blessed with a classic crooner’s voice that’s perfect for singing about those topics. Here, they show that they can write evocatively about them as well.” — Ben Salmon, “The Best Country Music on Bandcamp, June 2025” Sadie’s Bio Folk singer Sadie Gustafson-Zook marries agile vocals and intricate guitar playing while her thoughtful lyrics capture the immensity of potential and the complexity of history that emerge during times of life transition. Sadie’s songs have been endorsed by some of the most respected songwriting contests in the country, winning Kerrville Folk Festival’s 2022 New Folk Contest (as well as placing as a finalist in 2020), earning second place at the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest’s Songwriter Showcase, and winning first place at the NewSong + LEAF Songwriting Contest. Sadie has been featured on the Basic Folk podcast and on Folk Alley. “Sadie Gustafson-Zook is a songwriter with that enviable knack of being able to take a very specific moment in her life and somehow imbue it with universality and a common thread. Listening to her songs, you find yourself thinking about your own existence as you learn about hers.” — Songwriting Magazine Michael’s Bio Michael Gay is a Minneapolis-based country and folk storyteller. Michael cut his teeth in the Twin Cities’ Americana scene while releasing music under the moniker, Almighty American, winning fans and media praise for his honest, accessible songwriting spanning a coupe of self-released EP’s and a full length album, Somewhere Ride (2017). Michael eventually ditched the moniker and started performing under his own name in 2020, marking this shift with the release of Make It Right (2021) Produced by John James Tourville in a friend’s home studio in Nashville, TN. The album was mixed/mastered by Paul Oldham. In the spring of 2023, he and his band (now consisting of Daniel Stewart on Bass, Matt Decker on Drums, and AJ Srubas on Pedal Steel) filmed and recorded the last show of a monthly residency at The Terminal Bar in NE Minneapolis. The result was a live album — “Michael Gay & His Dang Band: Live from a Dive” released in March of 2024. The full album’s live performance is available to watch on YouTube and the audio is available to stream in digital album format on all major streaming platforms.

The husband & wife duo’s unique blend of vocal harmonies, thoughtful lyrics and virtuosic instrumental arrangements have been drawing in audiences across the US since 2018. Nick & Ren met while attending college at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. After a fateful late-night jam on a cold night in January, they decided to play a show together. One turned into two, and two into about two-hundred between the winter of 2018 and the spring of 2020. In June of 2021 the Howl’s relocated to the Los Angeles area and spent three years based out west. While in California they recorded two albums with the rock group One Less Guest, were a part of two subsequent tours with the band, and collaborated on numerous projects with other artists in music & film. Most notably providing the soundtrack to the 2022 short film, The Pool Boy. When talking about what inspired them to make the leap into doing music full time, Nick & Ren often credit the amazing friends and memories they made during their time in California. Socktopus Bio: Socktopus is a 5-piece band dishing out electrifying shows that leave you blissfully unaware of the laundry you left in the dryer. Fractalizing electro-pop-hip-hop, the Socktopus sound spans genres, served with heaps of our homemade secret sauce.

Patch notes for a sanctioned void. Heckadecimal: dripping AND dropping Deep Glens: deep glens is the solo work of producer and mixing/recording engineer brett bullion. as an engineer, he has worked across genres with artists such as low, samia, hippo campus, margaret glaspy, bad bad hats, the bad plus, your smith, and craig taborn. deep glens is a return to bullion’s early roots in electronic music. it draws on formative influences such as warp, mego, chain reaction, touch, and blends these reference points with bullion’s extensive studio experience. the debut album “earn grips" was constructed from improvisations using custom-built software environments, which later evolved into a live set. the set was recorded in chicago and released as “LIVE 2023-07-28.” autechre, the legendary warp records duo, featured both tracks from this performance during their bbc 6 music artist residency in december 2024, and subsequently invited bullion to join them on four dates of their 2025 north american tour. audio and video of these performances were recorded and released as “dg ae 2025.” Abyyy: Aby Wolf (ABYYY) came up in the Driftless Region of rural northwestern Illinois, honing her ear for harmonies by vocalizing along while her mother practiced Erik Satie on piano. At age 19, Aby moved to Minneapolis and started collaborating with musicians across a spectrum of hip hop, neo-soul, weirdo electronic improv, rock, jazz, and classical crossover. Songwriting practice began with acoustic guitar, then piano, then computer. Whether writing vocal arrangements, fulfilling commissions, or performing in clubs, theaters, and schools everywhere from Brainerd to Bratislava to Beijing, Aby brings an elastic skillset and a palpable element of joy to whatever endeavor she pursues. A lifelong learner with an ever-expanding curiosity, Wolf’s sound is distinguished not by typical markers of genre or instrumentation, but by her impressive range of expression and experimentation. Whole Earth: Optics. There is no fungus. There is no haze. There is no scratches. There is a few dust?
