Dermot is an alternative rock artist whose diverse songs switch from heavy metal riffs to electronic pop to 60s acoustic numbers. Lyrics can range from soul-baring and relatable to  rock-epics sprinkled with  a dash of sci-fi flavored storytelling. The one through-line is singer Michael Rowland’s unique perspective and the singer/songwriter’s joy in sharing his voice with one and all.     Allison Dyg is an alt pop/rock artist known for her fearless sound and raw, unfiltered lyrics. Blurring the lines between rock, pop, and grunge, her music dives deep into vulnerability and authenticity with a rebellious spirit that refuses to conform. Unapologetically original and captivating, Allison’s dynamic live performances leave audiences feeling every word and every note.     Slytempo is a Minneapolis-based musician who creates upbeat dance music with a playful aesthetic. He’ll be joined by a few musician friends, aiming to bring fun and positivity to the stage.

Cattlesnake: Minneapolis trio cattlesnake play a frenetic mix of surf, punk, & grunge, and try to channel their anxieties/grievances over climate disaster and democratic collapse into a rad stage show. Party on. Dashed: Dashed is comprised of 4 fellas who are finally playing the twisted surf-punk that they have always wanted to. Their style is all-at-once energetic and somber, leaning heavy into their post-punk inspirations, then sprinkling it all with biting reverb, jangly choruses, and messy topics. Somehow clean and dirty, Dashed falls between the gaps of Drive Like Jehu, Wipers, Man or Astroman?, and Lawrence Arms. These punk vets have been jamming for the past 15 years in the Midwest, and are ready for a project that feels inherently “them.” Sparrowhawk: Sparrowhawk was formed in Minneapolis in 2018 by four dudes whose previous bands include Private Interests, Mystery Date, Southside Desire, and Radio On. Their sound combines the big riffs and guitar harmonies of ‘70s van rock legends like Thin Lizzy with power-pop, glam, and first wave punk sounds from both sides of the Atlantic.
