The music group “Harriet Tubman” formed in 1998 when drummer JT Lewis, guitarist Brandon Ross and bassist Melvin Gibbs came together to start a band with meaning. Named after the heroic African American slave who risked her life to escape from slavery and help more than 300 others to do the same, Harriet Tubman is deeply inspired by the ideals of freedom. The trio’s music — a fusion of soul, rock, jazz, and blues — examines the depths of these genres for their own unique liberated musical expression. The band counts Jimi Hendrix, Ornette Coleman, and Parliament-Funkadelic as contributors to its musical DNA. Guitarist and singer Brandon Ross, bassist Melvin Gibbs, and drummer J.T. Lewis have collaborated with artists as diverse as Cassandra Wilson, Living Colour, Lou Reed, Herbie Hancock, Henry Threadgill, Sting, Arrested Development, the Rollins Band, David Murray and Meshell Ndegeocello. Their own sound is pure and liberated musical expression — a deep and soulful meditation on the concept of freedom.

Integrating sampling and other digital methods into a compelling genre-defying sound, Harriet Tubman embraces the pioneering spirit of jazz. Re-contextualizing musical technology to create innovative compositions is an important part of the African American tradition, and the trio sees Harriet Tubman as its contribution to that tradition. In essence, “Harriet Tubman” makes music that is a fusion of soul, rock, jazz, blues, and avant-garde.

“Georgia Anne Muldrow, a forward-thinking vocalist and producer, joined Harriet Tubman for a new album of immersive psychedelic fusion.” —New York Times

Come celebrate We Are All Travelers Here, the new album from Minneapolis singer-songwriter Jaspar Lepak, whose poetic, evocative music has been called “comforting and charmingly unpretentious” by 89.3 The Current.

Out November 6, the album will be performed in full by the studio band that brought it to life: Ben Cook-Feltz on piano, percussion, and harmonies; Andy Schuster on bass; DGS on violin; and Haley E. Rydell on harmonies, with special guest Peter Remiger on electric guitar.

Over two sets, Jaspar will share stories from the making of the record, while the band members step into the spotlight with original songs of their own.

Two sets. The whole album. The musicians who made it. One special night to celebrate.

Jaspar Lepak (pronounced JAS-per LEE-pack) is a Minneapolis singer-songwriter known for her clear, pure voice, bravely honest songs, and deep attention to the natural world. Originally from Tucson, she studied classical piano and literature in the Twin Cities before discovering songwriting on guitar after college. Her music has followed her from Minneapolis to Durban, South Africa—where she recorded Forgiving Wind, praised by Rolling Stone South Africa as “full of beauty and original charm”—to Seattle and back to Minnesota. Her 2021 album Desert Ghosts reached the Top 10 on the Folk Radio Chart, followed by 2024’s So Strong, which debuted at #6. Her songs have been featured by the Yale School of Medicine, Democracy Now!, and Christine Lavin’s The Seasons Project, reflecting a body of work that is tender, deeply observant, and sometimes playfully defiant.

There's a new (garage) band in town featuring Rachel Ries, jeremy messersmith, Hilary James, JE Sunde, Sadie Gustafson-Zook and The Starfolk and this is their first show ever!

One hot hot day jeremy messersmith came over to pick sour cherries in my brother's backyard and jump in the dodgy above-ground pool. Somewhere between the sticky fingers and toweling off he said "Hey, wanna gather up some friends and play in my garage before it freezes? It's all set up for band rehearsals. We could be a low-stakes seasonal band, playing each other's songs and swapping instruments."

Who could say no to that.

So that's how jeremy, me, Hilary James (bathtub cig), Sadie Gustafson-Zook, JE Sunde, and Brian & Allison (The Owls, Starfolk) became an honest to god band. Currently everyone fights over playing the bass so we'll see how things shake down for day 2 of my fall residency. Oh yeah and jeremy's garage looks like it was designed by a feisty grandmother in 1972, hence the name.

Rachel Ries is the voice behind Her Crooked Heart, the choral arranging mastermind behind Kith + Kin Chorus and the builder of a terribly charming tiny home on wheels. She's released many records and toured around the world but mostly she enjoys being an auntie, thinking in 8-part harmony, solving construction conundrums, writing songs for patrons and honing her Portuguese Egg Tart baking skills.

About Mike Baggetta:

“Mike Baggetta is a player of immense subtlety across all dimensions, working with an impressive palette of tones … distilling Robert Fripp’s loopscapes with hints of John Fahey.”

-The Wire, UK

“...A terrific player, capable of weirdly elegant fretwork, shivery Tom Verlaine-esque tones, freeform freakouts and crunchy fuzz, shifting from one zone to another with a naturalness and ease.”

-Aquarium Drunkard

About Eli Winter:

“Here, the Chicago-based wunderkind—an accomplished writer with storytelling bonafides beyond the guitar—merges the mythos of his native Texas with jazzy, explosive bombast, like a cowboy on DMT.” — Pitchfork

"Eli Winter's second turn as bandleader unfolds like a sky bleeding exhaust fumes, alternating pedal steel waltzes and jazz-burnt fuzz bombs. The record starts with an ecstatic riff on a Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell tune and doesn't really let off the gas." — NPR

Duluth singer-songwriter Elsa Krantz is releasing her debut CD self-titled 'Elsa Krantz: Deluxe Edition' with a full band. Nikki Lemire as a quartet will open the night to support this release show.

Elsa Krantz Bio:

Elsa Krantz is a Duluth, Minnesota-based musician whose work imagines a pre and post-apocalyptic vision for a better world. Elsa Krantz represents her solo singer-songwriter project, with sonic roots inspired by her actual dreams in the night and her local experiences in the day. Krantz's music comes to life with a full-band. This debut record explores stripped acoustics, synth layers, blues inspirations and rock and roll. 'Elsa Krantz: Deluxe Edition' is an exploration of the many choices one may face when at the crossroads of creative freedom.

Nikki Lemire Bio:

Employing modern pedal harp techniques, looping and electric effects, Nikki Lemire weaves her expressive vocals over complex and hypnotic accompaniment. Her songs sit somewhere between the old folk bedrock of Joan Baez, the musical innovation of Joni Mitchell, and the influential pop stylings of Billie Eilish. Nikki artfully shapes the music to her words, creating a sound that refuses to adhere to any one particular genre, somehow feeling old and new at the same time.
