Emily and The Space Butterflies was spontaneously formed in February 2023 at a music teacher convention. Based in Minneapolis, the band is composed of five classically trained musicians and music educators (Emily Malmgren, Olin Edwards, Jacques Tousignant, Kylie Johnson, and Henry Rieffer). Drawing inspiration from the realms of pop, rock, and the narratives of female singer-songwriters, Emily Malmgren’s songwriting serves as the cornerstone of the band. The band’s collaborative process shapes what starts as a voice memo of Emily and her piano into unique arrangements that highlight the individual talents of each member, infusing each song with technical precision and creative flair.

Matthew Smith and the Menagerie
Emotions are stories we share. This idea rings true throughout the music of Minneapolis native, Matthew Smith (he/him). In the fall of 2024, Smith joined forces with “The Menagerie” [Max Froehlich (they/them), Nicholas Otto (he/him), Daniel Smith (he/him)]. Smith’s soulful melodies and poignant lyrics refl ect the spirit of authenticity. Infl uence from folk, funk, and indie rock creates a feeling of nostalgia, while improvised solos and jams make performances feel fresh and personal. “Playing House”, Smith’s latest musical project, was released March of 2025.

Polivon
Formed in the Summer of 2023, aspiring songwriter Andrew Njogu asked a few of his high school buddies to join him in writing tunes to perform live. The group set out to play a few local bars, and hosted a few shows in their garage practice space in Como, Minneapolis. Their sound generally revolves around styles rooted in 60s-70s pop-rock, with long and driving jams to melt your ears, often infused with elements of R&B, country, and stories about love. Each member brings their own unique touch brought by their differing musical backgrounds, blending into a spontaneous and diverse selection of music, including many covers!

DJ Lemony
Dj Lemony, crash landed on the south side of Minneapolis in the spring of 2002, and ever since has been fascinated with the way vibrations make you move, bringing his electric eclectic vehicle for eccentric vibes, you can’t but move your feet and feel united!

The Penny Peaches
The Penny Peaches are a family band with an alt-Americana sound. Sister songwriters Hattie and Grace Peach feature lyrical storytelling, blood harmonies, and soaring melodies in their songs. Hattie brings lead vocals, acoustic guitar, and fi ddle to the group and Grace adds sweet harmonies and melodic bass lines. Their fi rst full-length album “Good For Me” came out in August, 2024.

Featured Artists
Albert Klayman
Albert Klayman is a (soon to be) graduate from the University of Minnesota’s Art program. Working mainly through printmaking, he explores things forgotten or overlooked, the shared mundane experience, and the relationship of used objects to the humans that use them. The goal is often a good “ha! Ha! Hmmm..”

Eloise Koltun
Based out of Minneapolis, Eloise Koltun is a current student, Illustrator, and fine artist. Her work is about remembering that grief in its persistence, is full of whimsy. There is joy in remembering even when it hurts. Missing someone is painful but the memory itself is divine. Her work functions as a celebration of feeling. Everything is impermanent, and it hurts, but it’s wonderful.

Ava Schlegel
Ava Schlegel is an undergraduate in the University of Minnesota’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program. Working mainly through ceramics, painting, and printmaking.

Joey Peterson
J.R. Peterson is a Minneapolis based photographer specializing in analogue methods. His process is entirely self contained, from shooting to developing to darkroom printing, scanning, and zine creation. Much of Peterson’s work is informed by surrealism, the fluxus movement of the 60s, and architecture. Incorporating multimedia aspects is central to his work and an extension of his artistry that he is especially passionate about. Approaching photography from outside the proverbial box, Peterson is less interested in ‘capturing’, and more interested in creating work that blurs the lines between mediums and the messages photographs produce.

Luke Leblanc
Luke LeBlanc is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter who delivers dynamic and versatile original performances that feature a warm, organic merging of rootsy folk and pop. As noted by The Current, LeBlanc’s music is “so delicate, understated, and careful in its construction that you forget it’s taking apart how to live in such an unstable world while giving solace and a place for rest.” Luke’s music has received critical acclaim from numerous music magazines, including Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and Glide Magazine, and he has shared the stage with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Charlie Parr, and Grammy-Nominee Amythyst Kiah. His newest record, Places, was produced by Erik Koskinen and is his debut album for Real Phonic Records.
