Enjoy sets by Martin Devaney, Molly Maher & Mary Bue.     About Martin Devaney: Dubbed “the ubiquitous barroom bard” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune and a “charming, bushy-haired songsmith” by No Depression, Devaney writes from the heart of a working class troubadour.   About Molly Maher: Molly Maher’s music resides on the border Americana roots and big city grooves moving beautifully between them, blending simmering cools with twangy lament-filled spirit, guitar driven country-folk-jam with a blues swagger.   About Mary Bue: Mary Bue is a songwriter,  international retreat guide, and yoga teacher based out of Minneapolis, often roaming this beautiful world. Named Best Songwriter of 2020 by City Pages, her music touches upon archetypal themes of the human condition: love, loss, survival, dreams,  and the natural world. Her 9th album The Wildness of Living & Dying was released in February 2025.
