Icehouse's Upcoming Shows

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.
