The Aster Cafe 125 S.E Main Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United StatesSince 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

D.C. Leonhardt And The Night Shift w. The Weeping Covenant
D.C. Leonhardt and the Night Shift bio: Formed in 2024, D.C. Leonhardt and the Night Shift is the full band project of D.C. Leonhardt. Living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota, D.C. Leonhardt is a mostly traditional folksinger whose songs focus on labor, religion, love, and hard living. His live sets are a blend of story and song, humor and tragedy, all seeking to illuminate the ordinary. D.C. Leonhardt’s debut solo album, (roughly), was released in October of 2024. The band is in the process of recording the next album, The Newer Testament. The Weeping Covenant bio: Based in Minneapolis, MN, The Weeping Covenant is headed by vocalist and songwriter, Michael Beatrez. Writing from a lyrically driven perspective, he generally touches on themes of hope, vulnerability, and love. Beatrez leans into his comfortable sweet spot by singing over soft fingerstyle guitar ballads and rock songs that drive with measured intensity. The music of The Weeping Covenant is rooted in Americana, with pop sensibilities akin to Jeremy Messersmith, piercing storytelling of Jason Isbell, and spacious, sustained vocals that melt into reverb like the ballads of John Denver.
