SUMMARY:Vice Chair w. The Driftless Area & Dread Spells
DESCRIPTION:9pm Vice Chair \nhttps://linktr.ee/vicechairband\n\n \nA scathing sci-fi rock duo with strong post punk\, psychedelic\, and dark wave influences. Hot and crunchy bass lines backed by guttering guitar parts make war with a bespoke melange of chaotic beats. It’s a 1980’s hangar bay love story on acid\, with a terrible attitude\, and it’s ready to dive into the sun.\n\n \n(We’ll use IEM’s and have a drum track/click on MacBook\, see below)\n\n10pm The Driftless Area\nhttps://www.thedriftlessareamusic.com\n \n\nOriginally formed as a songwriting project to stay musically creative in between bands and life transitions\, Andy Jensen and Jayce Roberts decided to record those songs and\, eventually\, became the Driftless Area. Playing shows as a duo around Minneapolis to get the music out there while recording the next album on their own\, they crossed paths with drummer Url Hopper and bassist Rich Tudor. The Driftless Area officially added the rhythm section in the Autumn of 2023. \nTheir new album\, Terminal Moraine\, marks the end of one era and the fresh start of new stage for the Midwest Rock band influenced by their Twin Cities heroes The Jayhawks\, Soul Asylum\, and Gear Daddies. As The Driftless Area\, they’ve created a sound reminiscent of Son Volt\, Gin Blossoms\, and R.E.M. \n\n\n11pm Dread Spells\nhttps://linktr.ee/dreadspells\n\n\n  \nDread Spells is an instrumental rock band from Minneapolis\, MN that formed in 2024. Featuring ethereal soundscapes\, semi-abrasive rushes of energy\, and multi-layered melodies\, Dread Spells combines each of its members’ distinct set of influences into a coherent and fluid tapestry of sound that evokes a wide array of emotions. The band is currently working on recording a concept record about the establishment of the Transcontinental Railroad.

SUMMARY:Spring Swing with BluLuna
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6:00 PM for Dinner and Drink Service.\n\n\nJazz from the Heart\nBluLuna was formed by four veteran musicians out of their love for myriad genres of the jazz idiom without restraining themselves to one specific branch of the music. By focusing on familiar melodic compositions\, this bias-free approach has allowed them to concentrate on playing very fresh and sparkling ideas honoring the wide range of America’s 1st original sonic art. The result is a startlingly warm delivery of a strong yet hyper-sensitive mélange of enchanting moments. \nDean Magraw: GuitarRick Carlson: PianoSteve Pikal: BassJay Epstein: Drums \nDean Magraw studied at the University of Minnesota and Berklee College of Music in Boston. He spent five years in Beantown\, playing professionally and teaching. After returning to his hometown St. Paul\, he’s had a life of music – playing\, composing\, arranging\, producing\, & recording. Magraw’s music is impossible to pigeonhole. For 15 years\, he was half of a duo with mandolinist Peter Ostroushko. He has collaborated with Masahiro Nitta\, who plays the traditional Japanese shamisen; with Nigel Kennedy\, Britain’s bad boy of the classical violin; with Nirmala Rajasekar\, South Indian vocalist and player of the vina; with the singers Bruce Henry\, Ruth MacKenzie\, and Claudia Schmidt; with the Irish supergroup Altan. As a jazz cat\, he leads his own trio\, performs with Chris Bates & Jay Epstein as Red Planet since 2002\, and more recently has formed BluLuna. \n“With four of our favorite musicians comprising BluLuna\, we were prepared for a great night of improv. They even exceeded our expectations\, as was evidenced by the great audience response!” – Mike Wolsted\ndeanmagraw.com
