Featured Comedians:
Chris Maddock
From the land of sunkissed beer guts, Stillwater, MN, in the scenic St. Croix Valley, Chris Maddock is a gorgeous and classically styled stand up comedian, made of solid grapes-47% Comic, 19% Hot Waiter Guy, with the rest amounting to pure Country Music Legend. Chris performed in the 43rd Annual San Francisco Comedy Competition in 2018, with deep aromas of violet and cassis giving way to a leathery texture and a touch of charred beef. He’d do well in the Cellar. For 15 years beginning in 2003, Chris “Mad Dog” Maddock hosted the storied Death Comedy Jam, a weekly hub of MPLS comedy and subject of a documentary film, “Death’s Last Stand”. He recorded his first comedy album, Point of Entry, at the legendary Minneapolis rock ganglion First Avenue in the 7th St. Entry, and released it in 2012 on the Grammy Award winning Stand Up! Records. In 2014 Minneapolis weekly organ City Pages named him Stand Up Comic of the Year, and his 2nd record and special is being released in 2020 under the appellation Country Music Legend. He lives in Minneapolis with his son, Waylon, and his better half, who is also named Kryss, but spells it weird.

Ateh Ekinde

Dead By 50
Forged in Chaos, Built to Destroy
Formed in the eye of the storm during the riots, protests, and pandemic, Dead By 50 emerged from the Twin Cities as a force to be reckoned with. Comprised of veteran musicians with over 25 years of experience, this band has seen it all, but their hunger for the stage has never been stronger. Built to perform, they channel an eclectic and earnest brand of heavy metal that melts faces, moving between intensity, passion, and unrelenting energy. Their full-length album, apoplectic*—dropped in May 2024—rips open the scars of these uncertain times, tearing through themes of fear, frustration, and anger with a sound as relentless as it is authentic. The album captures the collective rage of a world in turmoil, reflecting the band’s honest approach to both music and life. From studio jamming to non-stop live gigs around the Twin Cities, Dead By 50 keeps the flame of rebellion burning bright. Led by Tony Gallahue’s fiery vocals and sermons of defiance, Al Sweeny’s machine-gun drumming, Jason Fetch and Dave Soderstrom’s twin guitar attack, and Jerry Hansen’s ground-shaking bass, Dead By 50 brings an intensity that can only come from seasoned musicians. Their live performances are unyielding, leaving no audience untouched. Whether you’re in the pit or at the back of the room, there’s no escaping the intensity of their sonic assault. They’re not just another band—they’re a call to action, a surge of adrenaline that reminds you what live music is supposed to be: loud, electrifying, and unforgettable. Catch them tearing up clubs around the Twin Cities and streaming on all major media platforms. And just remember – there are more of us than them.
