Hellseher w. Son/Boy, Witch Tree at White Squirrel

Hellseher Hellseher is kicking up dust from the desert sands of stoner rock, in close proximity to the alternative punk sludge vibe with a twist of metal. Emerging from Minneapolis, this three-piece rock band has an extensive catalog of original music, textured within their primal-melodic footprint. Brandon (Vocals/Guitar) / Steve (Drums) / Scott (Bass).   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Hellseher-61557671357067/?_rdr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellseherband/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HellseherBand Which Tree Witch Tree, named after an ancient, gnarled cedar tree growing out of a rock face on the north shore of Lake Superior, is a Minneapolis-based guitar-driven rock band informed by caustic 70’s guitar rock; 90’s indie and alternative bands; old and new shoegaze and stoner rock; and post-rock instrumentalists. They certainly don’t sound like any one of these influences, but the fingerprints of these styles are all over what Witch Tree does.  Website: www.witchtreeband.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/witchtree  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/witchtreeband  Bandcamp: https://witchtree.bandcamp.com/  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6NNljp9768jfWmOk1ntiti  YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCJQmq5p3zuYrUuF9r93_LIg/featured Son/Boy Son/Boy was formed through the perilous and exciting adventure that is exploring the Craigslist music section and enlisting extra help from musical friends. While wrestling with a variety of diverse and often polar musical influences, its four members found common ground somewhere in the realm of energetic indie rock with an open-minded mantra of “be anything except background music”. Son/Boy aims to impress and invites you to come to a show and judge for yourself. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonboyband/ Bandcamp: www.sonslashboy.bandcamp.com Youtube: @sonslashboy

CONSENT IS MANDATORY! Please remember to be considerate and respect others’ personal boundaries. We will not tolerate any racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic or homophobic language during any of our events and reserve the right to remove anyone that is causing harm.   Due to the nature of our events, which include the sale of food and beverages, we cannot properly enforce a mask mandate. Instead, we encourage our patrons to exercise their individual agency in correspondence with their personal comfort levels. It’s important to note that all public events carry inherent risks, and it is up to the individual to proceed with care in those situations. We will have complimentary masks available at the door for those that chose to wear one.   This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
