Join us on the new Icehouse patio to kick off the season with the Summer Breeze Music Festival. With a mix of folk music, original folk-pop songwriting, live cover music of great songs from the 80s, and hip-hop infused DJ sets, this multiple band and artist program is just what we need to set the summer vibe.


Ryan Cihlar Folk Duo - Ryan takes his audiences all over the world; a quiet cafe in Paris, a lively wurst hall in Germany, a breezy Italian beach. Playing everything from classic European music to Midwestern folk; and singing everything from Dean Martin to Tears For Fears, Ryan will transport you to a different country- or decade- as he breathes new life into beloved classics on his 1950’s Excelsior accordion.


Matt Caflisch Band - An original singer-songwriter sensation from Eau Claire, Matt's sincere, affable folk-pop original songs is enlivened by is vivid words. In the words of Kevin Avery "Caflisch is a word guy in the best tradition (a little closer to the spirit of Loudon Wainwright III than Leonard Cohen), while musically he would comfortably fit in just as easily with early Seventies singer-songwriters as late Seventies punk pop."


Al Church and Friends - Al Church is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Minneapolis, MN. His album, Next Summer, was named Best Electronic/Pop Album of the year by L'etoile Magazine. On original ssongwriter that also plays the hits from the 70s/80s, he is known to take the best of the genres (Yacht Rock, 80s electro, Altnernaitve and Blues Rock) and weave the show into a joyous crowd experience.


Awa Mally, aka The Mayor (she/her) - Grew up in an African household where music was always part of the atmosphere—my dad's burned CDs, my brothers' hip-hop and R&B, and my own internet-born influences. That blend shaped my ear and the way I move through sound today. I DJ to create spaces that relevantly

blend genres, cultures and eras to meet the moment, wherever it is.

Embracing a multicultural language, while investing in a variety of disciplines within the music itself, Mexican born, and Chicago based drummer, composer, & producer Gustavo Cortiñas, has distinguished himself as a dynamic and melodic artist, committed to building empathy and understanding through music, in times of border walls and reductive narratives.


His seventh discographic production "The Drum Also Sings" (ft Dave King and Isaiah Spencer) explores the deep, emotional resonance of rhythm through powerful, percussion-driven storytelling, in which Cortiñas is joined by two of the most distinguished voices in drumming: Dave King and Isaiah Spencer. This project emerged from cultivating an inner dialogue in moments that can sometimes feel hopeless, using the drum as both an instrument of expression and a tool for introspection. Woven with sounds that evoke joy, sorrow, and everything in between, this music is made for healing

Embahn, Good Doom and Rupert Angeleyes in the Courtyard

Thu, Jun 11

6PM DOORS 7PM SHOWTIME Courtyard Show: $15 Adv (+fees/taxes) $22 Doors (+fees/taxes) 21+ Good Doom Good Doom has opened for cool psych legends like Kikagaku Moyo, Avey Tare and more, while consistently self-recording compelling and relatable instrumental psych music. They've toured both coasts and played the storied First Ave Mainroom, all while remaining an enigma to the average citizen -- only the real heads know for now. Rupert Angeleyes After nearly a decade, Angeleyes has returned to Minneapolis, following stints in Los Angeles and New Orleans. He’s spent the last year reforming his band to deliver the psychedelic Pillow Talk, a mellow synthesizer follow up to his debut, Young Sunset. Currently, the band is shelving the effects pedals and relying on Rupert’s songwriting chops-- a Carol King approach to chords with an honest, sad-yet-funny lyrical charm. Embahn Lush, melodic, and introspective, Embahn plays to the heart of the listener. Drawing from elements of freak folk, shoegaze, and indietronica, Embahn bridges the lyrical and instrumental worlds through dreamy yet dynamic explorations. Heavily focused on form and content, songs feel like a painting - each element intentionally capturing an underlying message or theme. Embahn's debut album Mindless Melody is set to be released in mid-2026.
Molly Brandt: Museum of Being Album Release

Molly Brandt: Museum of Being Album Release

Fri, Jun 12

6pm Doors 8pm Showtime Full food and beverage available for this show. 21+ $25 Adv (+fees/taxes) $32 Doors (+fees/taxes) Photo credit - Madalyn Rowell - Insta Handle - @curiouscumulus Molly Brandt will release her 3rd studio album, “Museum of Being” on June 12, 2026 and will present the album live in its entirety at Icehouse that same night! Join us for this magical evening of brand-new and never-before-performed original music with a stacked line-up of incredible artists and performers, including opening sets by rising local artists: Fruitform and Seven Pines. Artist Bios: Molly Brandt: Named the 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Midwest Country Music Awards, Molly Brandt is making a name for herself in the independent music scene. With a musical background that includes stints as a classical pianist, 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 has now played all over the Midwest and the U.S., including many festivals such as Blue Ox, Big Turn, Rochester Thaw, Boogiedown, and Boats & Bluegrass, to name a few. Brandt dazzles when she takes the stage, first with her presence and statement outfits, then with her powerhouse vocals. With her ever-evolving sound ranging from honky-tonk to countrypolitan to alt-rock, and her ability to illuminate stages and leave audiences breathless, Molly Brandt is an artist not to be missed. Brandt’s work has been praised by the Star Tribune, Racket MN, Adventures in Americana, The Bluegrass Standard, and The Current and her song “Mr. Texas” appeared last year in Netflix’s hit show “The Hunting Wives”. Her debut album “Surrender to the Night” blended honky-tonk, countrypolitan, and alt-rock influences, delving into blue-collar struggles, dive bar revelries, long car rides, and cold-blooded revenge through stories of heartache, resilience, and triumph. “American Saga”, her second studio album released in 2024, exploring an even broader range of roots music, with soundscapes of disco, blues, alt-country, bluegrass, and psychedelia. “Museum of Being” is set to release June 12th, 2026, with a live-performed premiere at Icehouse in Minneapolis, MN that same night. The album presents us a tapestry of memories and an epic journey through time that bends, folds, and stretches on itself. The album explores the nostalgia of past experiences and relationships as the metaphorical “museum” we all possess within us, with new sonic landscapes that include more synth-heavy psychedelic sounds, soaring pedal steel, and truly unique combinations of vibes and genres to coalesce into a beautiful mosaic of nostalgic stories. Through the experimentation and uniqueness of sound, Brandt continues to harken back to her roots: honky tonk and Americana, making music that is all her own. Fruitform: Songwriter/guitarist Mary Traxler, drummer Aidan Sponheim, bassist Matty Hansen, and keyboardist Meek Bond make up the South Minneapolis-based band Fruitform. The group draws inspiration from nature, the (stolen) land, and its fruits. Drawing inspiration from early punk rock, lyrical femme folk, and playful experimental noise, fruitform is interested in how sound works to liberate us into realities more livable, free, and collective. Their debut album, cake without plates, was released on the summer solstice last year and showcases the band’s multi-genre, DIY, whimsical style. Seven Pines: Seven Pines is the project of Minnesota-based songwriters Lily Belle Govrik and Soren Burkum. Following a period spent in the Nashville indie scene as a resident rhythm section (Burkum on drums, Govrik on bass), they return to Minnesota with singles ”Passing Through” and “My Girl”. Recorded entirely in the couple’s shared backyard studio in Nashville, their songs carry the rootsy driven groove and harmony that is marked by Govrik and Burkum’s connection and warmth.
