His projects include RONiiA, Marijuana Deathsquads, Father You See Queen, and To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie. He recently released a solo composition entitled Curse the Day that Birthed the Bastard through his MAKR moniker along with an original score commissioned by the Walker Art Center for Lotte Reiniger's 1926 animation, The Adventures of Prince Achmed. His musical strengths involve a special interest in texture and nuance that sometimes lack in popular music. The music Mark makes tends to reflect a more moody and brooding atmosphere.

Martin Dosh has been making independent music for 30 years; primarily using drums, Rhodes, samplers and synths. Mostly analog and anachronistic, heavily improvised and minimally structured. Minneapolis based drummer JT Bates has covered a lot of musical ground throughout the last few decades. With a shift towards recording in the last number of years, garnering multiple Grammy Awards (Taylor Swift “Folklore”, I’m With Her “Ancient Light” ). Touring the world with the acclaimed Bonny Light Horseman(feat Anais Mitchell, Eric D Johnson, and Josh Kaufman) Big Red Machine, and Hiss Golden Messenger. Growing up in a family of jazz musicians, JT started early, playing his first gigs while still in middle school. Creative music has been integral to developing a sound and feel on the drumset, as well as expanding the palette of sounds available.

With banjo, mandolin, upright bass, and acoustic guitar in constant conversation, their music moves from Bill Monroe to Lil Nas X, from tight originals like “Time Machine” to expansive Grateful Dead explorations. Since 2019, they’ve played 300+ shows nationwide and released two albums—New Escape (2021) and Greetings From (2024)—cementing their reputation as a road-tested, genre-bending live band. Texas Toast Bio: Texas Toast (Winona, MN) crafts psychedelic cowboy songs rooted in classic country and stretched by influences from folk, R&B, bluegrass, jam, and dance-pop. Formed in 2021, the band quickly evolved from a “pandemic project” into a road-tested live act, captivating audiences at festivals like Boats & Bluegrass, Blue Ox, People Fest, and Midwest Music Fest. With releases including their EP Big River Killer (2023), Texas Toast delivers a sound that’s both genre-blurring and deeply grounded—where something special always happens when they take the stage.

6pm Doors 8pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. 18+ $20 Adv (+fees/taxes) $27 Doors (+fees/taxes) Rosenau and Sanborn Bio: Bluebird began in 2015 at the inaugural Eaux Claires festival, when Nick Sanborn and his longtime friend and collaborator Chris Rosenau first stepped onstage together for an improvised duo set inside the sweltering geodesic dome known as The Channel. With no plan, years of shared musical history, and an electric crowd, a 20-minute idea stretched into nearly 50 — and sparked an ongoing collaboration. In October 2017, the two reconvened at a small house-studio in the woods of North Carolina, windows open to the warm air between Chapel Hill and Durham, and spent two days playing, improvising, and recording everything as it happened: rain falling, birds chirping, dogs barking, laughter and all. Rather than polish or reshape the material, they chose to preserve the weekend exactly as it was experienced — the original mixes, working titles, and atmosphere intact. The result is Bluebird: an unfiltered, deeply present document of friendship, spontaneity, and place, captured in real time and shared just as it unfolded. Under his own name, 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. After all, 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 that he cofounded, and initiated collaborations with Arnold Dreyblatt, On Fillmore and Justin Vernon. 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, The Dead Tongues and the synth-pop of Sylvan Esso. Most recently, he primarily tours and records in an improvisational trio, Setting (with Jaime Fennelly and Nathan Bowles), as a duo with trumpeter Trever Hagen, and as a solo artist on Psychic Hotline. His latest release, Curiosities from the Shift, is Westerlund’s definitive statement so far: a playful exploration driven by beats but not bound by them. 

6pm Doors 8pm Showtime Seating is first come, first serve. 21+ $20 Adv (+fees/taxes) $27 Doors (+fees/taxes) Erik Koskinen's new group The Helsinki Club, featuring Kora Melia, Chris Bates, and JT Bates makes its debut, definitely want to grab a ticket for this! Also appearing from Michigan, The Go Rounds - The Go Rounds are a strange phenomenon. A blue-collar band with true upper-echelon accolades. A cultural staple in their home range, but still yet to be tracked by the larger limelight. After all, they’re a band that used to co-bill with Billy Strings, a band who’s headlined the Mazunte International Jazz festival, and a band whose recordings have featured in various major formats such as Warren Miller’s “Here, There and Everywhere”, and as cue music for NPR. 

6pm Door Time 8pm Show Time $20 adv (+fees/taxes) $27 doors (+fees/taxes) Full food and beverage available for this show. 18+ 2025 MARKS 40 YEARS OF THE SILOS The Silos began as a musical force in 1985 with the release of their first album “About Her Steps” along with a series of gigs in their hometown neighborhood, the East Village of New York City. They were part of New York’s post-punk ‘80s scene and played Indie Rock, Alt-Rock, Alt-Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms. Heralded at their outset by Rolling Stone as "America's Best New Band," the resilient Silos mix punk, roots, rock, and sage art-damaged truth telling. Salas-Humara’s narratives take on the weight of attentive, convincing poetry and wry wordplay. The Silos have created a sound that's hard to pin down - “The band's austere style inflects the astringent twang of The Velvet Underground with the drone of R.E.M. and adds countryish echoes that recall Gram Parsons," offered The New York Times. Their latest effort and 12th studio album “Family” was released in 2022 and work has begun on a new album to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2025. There will also be series of live albums released in 2025 that span the 40 years of the band on the road.

Emily Haavik's Bio: Emily Haavik is a singer-songwriter from the shores of Lake Superior, now based in the Twin Cities. "There's soul in Haavik's voice" (Duluth News Tribune), and she writes "terrific songs with honest lyrics and infectious hooks" (The Bluegrass Situation). Emily plays a blend of Americana, folk and glitzy-glam country, often with her incredible band the 35s. Her music has been featured on Good Morning America and 20/20, and her work as a journalist has been honored by multiple national awards including the Peabody and DuPont. Her song "Do You Think You Protect Me?" was called “one of the year’s most powerful local songs on sexual violence awareness” by The Current. The video for it was nominated for the Midwest Country Music Video of the Year, received press coverage across Minnesota and raised over $5K for nonprofits combating violence against women. She releases her new album Wingspan in fall 2024. The International Treasures' Bio: Drawn from the very air itself (and a robust wi-fi signal), the combination of Ted Hajnasiewicz and Doyle Turner feels like fate. Raised on Minneapolis rock and roll, Ted Hajnasiewicz is an award-winning songwriter and named “Maverick” artist by the Midwest Country Music Organization. Doyle Turner is the “little bit country” side of the duo. Doyle and Ted met on the internet in 2020, and have put their backs to the musical wall to perform songs that matter. Active performers as solo artists and various musical projects, Doyle and Ted both have a solid recording catalog. The International Treasures’ debut album, “Together, We Are The International Treasures” was released into the world in 2023.

5pm Doors 6pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. 18+ $15 Adv (+fees/taxes) $22 Doors (+fees/taxes) alolender.com Songwriter Al Olender tries to grasp the brief, beautiful moments that make up our lives in slow-motion but finds that the tighter she holds on, the more these frames fall into a soupy blur. Change is our only constant, but what if we wanted to steep in the now? What if we could stay right here? Olender captures the anxieties of an ever-moving world with a sweet and silly sincerity on her second full-length album The Worrier, never shying away from staring the truth right in the face. Exploring anxiety, sexuality and anarchy, both in herself and in her relationships, Olender’s acoustic, bluesy melodies point to the butterflies of first crushes, the gut-punching realities of responsibility and the eternal romance of friendship. Ahna Bio: Ahna Ell is a songwriter steeped in poetry and wandering. Her fourth release, 2026's Ride On, marks her most imperative work yet with its unflinching embrace of longing and resolve. After touring for a decade (Forlorn Strangers, The Rally Club), Ahna launched her solo project with lofi bedroom folk album Everybody's Gonna Let You Down in 2021, followed by two live EPs, and a handful of singles. Now, she's on the road bringing the songs to life as often as she can. Birth, death, pancakes, heartache, Charles Manson, and Pascal’s God shaped hole—Ell mines the ordinary and the exceptional for meaning. When not writing, Ahna’s probably surfing or eating oysters

6pm Doors 8pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. 18+ $25 Adv (+fees/taxes) $32 Doors (+fees/taxes) Jeffrey Martin has always been drawn to solitude, stories, and the quiet moments where songs take shape. A lifelong writer at heart, he found his voice early—first as a devoted listener, then as a songwriter who wrote with urgency and honesty. Before music became his full-time calling, Jeffrey was a high school English teacher, pouring his days into classrooms and his nights into songs, often balancing tours with grading papers and early mornings. Eventually, the pull of the road proved impossible to ignore. Leaving teaching behind wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. Today, Jeffrey Martin tours full time, crafting deeply human songs marked by introspection, humility, and emotional clarity. He’s always making music, always passing through town—still guided by the same quiet resolve, and still carrying the spirit of a teacher who believes in chasing what matters most. Niall Connolly: 1977. The year that punk was born.With only hours left to spare it also produced a baby boy in the suburbs of Cork, Ireland, born with his ears piqued to the murmurs and clatter around him.As he grew the soundtrack changed. Nirvana on the Walkman. Leonard Cohen on his sister’s stereo. The surge of bands and songwriters emerging from the 1990’s Cork music scene. Later it became snippets of eavesdropped New York conversation. Tales of woe on the radio. The sights and sounds of tours across Europe.All of it gets woven into a tapestry of words. Then melody. Harmonies added in the studio. Electricity, sincerity, and humor on the stage. At the core of every Niall Connolly song is the story, one that unfolds a layer with each listen. 

5pm Doors 7pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. 18+ $30 Adv (+fees/taxes) $40 Doors (+fees/taxes) Internationally acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Bundy’s unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting – from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 150,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 45 million YouTube views to date. Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player Magazine blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.”

Their debut album, “ Midnight Hearts”, released via the Swiss Dark Nights label, showcases cutting-edge bass synthesizers, cascading guitar melodies, and ethereal harmonies, drawing on the vibrant gothic synth-pop aesthetics of the 1980s as well as modern darkwave. Post-punk.com - "The music entices you with a carefree melody, but the voices suggest something deeper and a tad unsettling, ensuring you’re always a little bit on edge. It’s that feeling you get when the ouija board starts spelling out something a little too real." - Post-punk.com, Alice Teeple I DIE:YOU DIE - "A firm but beautiful declaration of severance, it’s quite simply one of the best goth tunes we’ll enjoy this year. Thankfully, it isn’t standing on its own in Midnight Hearts, but is surrounded by a clutch of elegant and well-considered tunes which have immediately established Feyleux as a force to be reckoned with moving forward." - idieyoudie.com, Bruce https://feyleux.bandcamp.com/ Video for “The Empress” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LipbMqcpxpk Video for “Phantoma” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxj5NloHnNc Carrellee Bio: Carrellee's delicately, sensual vocals are layered over a wall of scorched synths and processed tapes. Her synth-pop sound was crafted with support from producer Brett Bullion (Low, Polica.) using a microKORG and Yamaha DX7 synth coming from folk inspired music. https://www.carrellee.com The Rope Bio: Formed in Minneapolis in 2009, The Rope weaves post-punk, darkwave, and gothic threads into a uniquely dark and driving sound, drawing influence from bands ranging from The Chameleons to The Sisters of Mercy.
