✨How the evening will proceed…..

✨1. Upon Arrival, check in at the host stand (& grab a drinkie)

🌟2. You’ll be shown a QR Code, which takes you to a personalized quiz surrounding your values, dating preferences, and more… use this quiz as a built in icebreaker and take it with some cute strangers.

🌟3. Mingle, dance, drink, have some food, relax into the evening, flirt, chat, enjoy Icehouse…

🌟4. Submit your quiz by 8:30 & Reveal your Thursday Pair….clues will begin dispersing starting at 9 PM…

Which will eventually unveil……who in the room is best paired to your quiz results.😉

As you can imagine… it will be quite invigorating to learn about the fellow singles in the room throughout the night.

Maybe you’ll guess who your Thursday Pair is, maybe, you’ll be totally caught off guard….

There is ZERO obligation to connect to your pair if you don’t feel the vibes – but if the energy is there, now you’re one step ahead with a built-in vibe check.

Whether you find a new summer loverrrr potential… just some new friends, we’ve got you covered.

Come flirt, snack, relax and mingle your way to a fabulous night—who knows what might heat up, or ice down. It’s Icehouse after all! See you there!

Ozone Creations presents Silk Lounge: Concrete Cowboys. The newest installment of the Silk Lounge series following their sold out Juke Joint experience at Icehouse earlier this year. Concrete Cowboys is a celebration of the Black roots of cowboy culture and the lasting influence Black artists and communities have had on shaping American music, fashion, and identity. Blending Southern soul, rodeo aesthetics, urban style, and sounds from across the diaspora, the night reimagines western culture through a modern Black lens. Expect live performances by Ozone Creations, DJ sets by Kwey, live instrumentation, bourbon-forward cocktails, western-inspired decorations, a photobooth/impact station, and a sounds moving through Afrobeats, country fusion, hip-hop, house, and R&B.

This residency marks a powerful expansion of Obi Original & The Black Atlantics’ presence on the Twin Cities stage. Known for their dynamic blend of highlife, Afrobeat, soulful grooves, and modern fusion, the collective has captivated local and regional audiences with an infectious energy that honors the heritage and future of African-inspired music.

Hailing from the vibrant Minneapolis music scene, Obi Original has built a reputation as a charismatic performer and cultural connector, infusing each night with rhythmic pulse, storytelling, and the spirit of community uplift. His work with the Black Atlantics brings together skilled musicians, traditional and contemporary instrumentation, and a genre-bending approach that resonates with longtime fans of Afrocentric music and newcomers alike.

This event will help highlight Nigerian community connection, further reflecting the collective’s dedication to cultural celebration and inclusion — a hallmark of their mission to bring global sounds and stories to the heart of Minneapolis.

“We’re excited to bring AFRODISIA to The Icehouse,” says Obi Original. “This is more than a show, it’s a space for joy, connection, and honoring the rhythms that connect us all.”

Whether you’re a longtime lover of African music or discovering its magic for the first time, AFRODISIA at The Icehouse MPLS promises a weekly cultural experience full of soul, groove, and unity.

He holds a Master's degree in Percussion Performance from McNally Smith College of Music, and is an accomplished teaching artist in the Twin Cities. Currently, LA serves as co-host for the award winning PBS music education YouTube series “Sound Field”, and is a professor of Race & Identity at the University of Minnesota.

Get ready to experience a historic blend of jazz, Gospel, hip hop and avant-funk. Hitting the drums like they owe him money, LA is a flurry of arms and drumsticks whose compositions blur the line between Sunday church service and face melting jam sessions. His artistry is full of energy, excitement, and culture.

What to expect:

It’s a jazz and funk jam featuring a brand-new combo “The Homework House Band”.

L.A. Buckner on drums, Omar Abdulkarim on Trumpet/Flugelhorn, Ethan Yeshaya on Bass, and Kevin Gamble on keyboards.

The jam will include special guests sitting in on vocals, horns and other instruments. This is NOT an open mic! You GOTTA be great to sit in!

There will also be activities/games for the audience to participate in.

We are resetting the standard of greatness that this city is known for.

Women, femmes, and non-binary friends are welcome.
