full catholic
MINNEAPOLIS-based ‘full catholic’ is a psych collective that fell asleep and dreamed it was a folk band that dreamed it was a rock band. Their sound is built around probing social lyricism intensified by vocalist/bassist Dani Michaele, whose gut-dwelling timbre is both at times turbulent and tremulous. Adding a frenzy of guitar and synth to the mix, Lane Miller and John Caldwell weave dynamic lines through wistful atmospherics that transcend alongside the distinctive jangly rhythms crafted by drummer Des Lawrence.

Cook County
Based out of Minneapolis, Cook County draws upon rock and folk influences to craft upbeat anthems that beggar a second listen. Their virtuosic guitar playing, high-flying vocal harmonies, and tight rhythm serve to create an intimate and unforgettable performance. With hints of oakiness and lavender, and with a full-bodied mouth feel, they pair well with fish or a big plate of spaghetti.

When asked to describe her sound in three words, Dr. Kyle Smith said, “Queer Farm Vibes… or maybe… Sad Boy Progressive.” While Emmy has been writing songs for over 20 years, her first collection of songs, tristia bella, as well as her albums the manifold and delirium were not released until 2020. She has since formed a band, the Red Pine Ramblers, and continues to gain momentum with her genre bending sound.

Spells and Curses with Jack Swagger and AJ Stone
2024-07-19 19:00 - 22:00
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!

Emerson Island
“One day I’ll come back for you, but it’s been a millennium,” croons Emerson Freybler on “Seashells,” the aching, nostalgic opener of All or Nothing–his debut EP under the name Emerson Island. It’s an ode to the old friends and faded relationships that accumulate as you make your way out of early adulthood–how, like the rise and fall of Freybler’s keyboard, they come rushing up when you least expect, pulling you heartfirst into an emotional ocean.
Bryn Battani
Slyly intense and disarmingly earnest, Bryn Battani weaves clever, tongue-in-cheek lyrics with vibrant arrangements. Influenced by artists like Fiona Apple, Andrew Bird and Regina Spektor, she supports her writing with genre-bending “chamber pop” instrumentation colored by her theatrical background and Western roots. Growing up in Austin, Texas, Bryn immersed herself in the area’s dynamic music scene, co-producing her debut EP All I Have to Offer You Is Anything You Want with Curtis McMurtry and Diana Burgess (of Austin’s Mother Falcon) in 2020. Her sophomore EP Hang Your Clothes explores her relationship with ADHD through smart lyricism and lively string parts.

Mike Cohen, a versatile saxophonist and woodwind player based in New York City, has an impressive list of collaborations including the Duke Ellington Band, Eric Person big band, Ray Vega, Hank Jones, Harvey S, Jeff “Tain” Watts, and Eddie Allen.

His latest album, “Winter Sun,” released in October 2021, features all-original compositions. Rooted in jazz, it chronicles a personal challenge Cohen faced at age 13 when he was diagnosed with AML, a deadly form of leukemia. Decades later, he found the courage to reflect on and express this experience through his music, inadvertently creating compositions that echo his initial hospitalization and the grueling nine-week battle with chemotherapy. The album has garnered positive reviews, substantial radio play, and has performed well on jazz charts.

These three musicians have a decade of background in the indie rock world, and now they finally have an outlet for improvisational flow, communicating together onstage so that every show is a different experience. Creating and improvising, without worrying about what jazz should be.
Dilly Dally Alley
Since releasing their debut album in May of last year, Dilly Dally Alley has gained local reputability for their “pop smarts, soulful grooves, deft dance vibes” from sources like The Current, MPR, RacketMN, Americana Highways, Rootstime, and more. Ultimately, Dilly hopes that their eclectic jazz sound inspires audiences to dance a little harder, love a little better, scream a little louder, and be a better caretaker for the communities they belong to.
Sweet Pea
Sweet Pea is bustin out the pod and onto Minneapolis stages with their collection of wirey, energetic pop tunes, occasionally played at frenetic tempos! Don’t miss a chance to see these pretty boys play. Trenton Skalicky leads the group with compelling vocals and lush key arrangements. Flanking him are Brett Tennyson’s acid-baked guitar riffs and the smooth bass grooves of Noah Tankersley. Linus Hennessee backs the operation with incredible energy behind the kit.
