The Hamm Sammies and 23Watts
2024-06-01 18:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
The Hamm Sammies
Maybe it’s because the band is fueled by cheap beer and nice whiskey, but when the Hamm Sammies set out to write country music, their groove strayed from the lines. They gravitated toward a more syncopated, swampy sound: country music played in between the cracks. With a little twang, some Memphis soul, plenty of blues, and even a dash of Sonny Rollins (especially his Way Out West era), their arrangements get people off their seats. If they’re not careful, listeners might accidentally put aside their Midwestern stoicism for the duration of the Sammies’ set.
23Watts
Twin City-based four-piece alt-rock band. Founded by guitarist and singer/songwriter Jeff Lemiesz, who shares lead and rhythm guitar duties with Tim Dempsey. A rhythm section that consists of bassist Shamus Greger and Bill Strohm on drums rounds out the lineup. Together they deliver an eclectic mix of unique material from multiple genres.
Stylistically, 23 Watts’ music is completely their own, but not without the trace of influence. Artists like Cheap Trick, Gov’t Mule, Kyuss, Neil Young, Pixies and Wilco, among others, have all undeniably contributed to their sound as a whole.
Music

23 Watts aims to establish their brand of “all purpose rock ‘n’ roll” in the rich and vibrant community of artists in the Twin Cities and beyond.

Eli Gardiner
Eli Gardiner is a songwriter from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, currently located in Minneapolis Minnesota. Coming of the 2020 release of his album, The Fire and The Medicine, he formed his full band comprised of drummer Greg Schutte (Mickey Hart, Ryan Bingham) lap steel/electric guitarist Dan Schwartz, keyboardist Kevin Gamble and bassist Nick Salisbury (Ryan Bingham, Brian Fallon).
Eli grew up in musical household. His mom played flute and piano and his dad classical guitar. Music was always on, James Taylor, Jim Croce, and Bonnie Raitt would be playing as dinner was made and the dishes were washed. Eli’s music is always changing, morphing to the mood and groove. It can be described as Americana or Rock, but the themes are deeply rooted in our lives in present day, what it means to be a human and to be sympathetic to other people. Its also about our connection, how we are all the same and crave that understanding that music can bring at its most transcendental times.
Samuel John
Hailing from the small town of Braham, MN, Samuel John found his musical calling through the inspiring performances of his mother, a pianist and vocalist, and witnessing his brother Ben drum for a touring country band. Samuel, also a frequent concert-goer, drew inspiration from watching his favorite songwriters in the independent country and rock scene.

Spells and Curses with Jack Swagger and AJ Stone
2024-07-19 19:00 - 22:00 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Spells and Curses
After losing a parent, ending a relationship and leaving unhealthy friend circles all within a few months, theRave was forced to start a new chapter in life by exercising unfamiliar feelings of love and loss: so he turned to music and formed Spells and Curses.
But it was the loss of a family member to suicide that gave his work a focused purpose; to prove that despite our past trauma, surviving and making a better life is the ultimate revenge. Spells and Curses attempt this by creating music to explore one’s “inner space”, with songs that act as a “spell” to enhance the moment, or a “curse” to damn it.
Since then, the mission has been to inspire those looking to free themselves from toxic and traumatic environments. To empower people whose attempts at improving their lives are met with resistance or negativity. To show anyone that the venom of opposition can be turned into the basis of courage. This focus on love, hate, vitriol, and freedom has been the tenet of Spells and Curses’ entire output; as seen through self-produced albums (such as SUADADE and Sinful Things), to currently releasing a new song and music video every 2 months.
This show is free to the public and all are welcome!

Don’t kill the kids is a duo couples band from Minnesota — DKTK means don’t kill your inner child; we all grew up so fast and sometimes we need a little reminder to smile and have fun again.
milo33k 🙂 I am apart of a collective named 「33k」 in which we have artists from around the world collaborating and sharing ideas. I’ve been making music for close to ten years now and as for music, I am mainly a rapper that’s transitioning into other sounds such as shoegaze and punk-ish sounds.
