Saturday Bluegrass Brunches with The High 48’s ($6 Cover) at Aster

The Aster Cafe 125 S.E Main Street, Minneapolis

Since forming in 2006, The High 48s have been making music that combines the soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude, original songs and a wide range of influences far beyond Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, and Flatt and Scruggs.In a genre created and dominated by artists from the South, The High 48s were born and raised in the Upper Midwest. And in a music scene where playing standards is the norm, The High 48s are a band of songwriters who perform their own material in addition to the “festival favorites.”Music 11am - 1pm

The Thirsty River Album Release at White Squirrel

White Squirrel Bar 974 7th St W, Saint Paul

The Thirsty River is a folk | bluegrass | Americana band from the Twin Cities who have been quietly gaining a following playing bars, breweries, events and festivals all around the upper midwest over the past 10+ years (but who’s counting). Their third studio album, Junk Drawer, was released this year and has been featured on curated playlists such as GemsOnVHS monthly playlist and Spotify’s editorial “New Grass” playlist.    It is a collection of songs, much like the items in our junk drawer, that haven’t fit into any other projects but still serve a greater purpose.    This 5-piece encompasses intimate yet energetic performances with dynamic harmonies and inevitable onstage banter. The Thirsty River has an undeniable passion that is constantly pushing the limits of Americana music both you and your grandpa will enjoy.
