2025-12-26 18:00 - 20:00
A rock and roll band! Killer harmonies, rippin’ solos, cool songs, funny
shit in between.
Hailed as a country guitarist, Mary Cutrufello grew up on East Coast
classic rock. (Yes, think Springsteen!) This tight, taut trio explores
her songs old and new with the fearless guitars, stories, and
between-song banter she’s known for.

Anthony Kaczynski (The Magnetic Fields, Figures on a Beach, Fireking) w. Paperbacks (album release), King Sized Coffin
2025-12-26 21:00 - 2025-12-27 00:00
Anthony Kaczynski is a singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. He has been the touring guitarist for The Magnetic Fields since 2016, occasionally leads the rock band Fireking, is a member of The Paid Protesters, who are the house band for a series of “Which Side Are You On?” shows in the Boston area, has a new project with Garret Vandermolen called Ski Van, which just released its first single, sings in the band Gymnasium, plays guitar for Trusty Sidekick, performs solo acoustic shows when the spirit moves him, and is generally in demand as a guitarist and sideman throughout the Boston music scene. He was the co-founder, vocalist, principal lyricist and keyboardist of Figures on a Beach, who began their career in his hometown of Detroit and went on to release two albums on Sire in the 1980s as well as a handful of indie EPs. Anthony is passionate about books, film, and of course music, and thinks that a sesame bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers from Russ & Daughters may be the pinnacle of human achievement.
Paperbacks is an indie pop project helmed by Minneapolis tunesmith Sven-Erik Olsen, whose adventurous, jangly Beatlesque pop gems are undergirded and adorned by the mellifluous bass work of Michael Brewer Carina and the instinctive, offbeat drumming of Dan Greenwood. (For the December 26th White Squirrel show, bassist James Towns and keyboardist Sumanth Gopinath will be sitting in).
Paperbacks became a going concern after a one-off gig in Owatonna in spring 2022. The quartet began touring the midwest and after developing their distinctive repertoire, entered Creation Studios with engineer Zach Hollander in 2023 to record their debut album, First Folio, released in December 2025. Its songs showcase their range: “Feels Magnetic” channels the widescreen feel of The Who’s early 70s anthems; “Suddenly Aglow” bathes a Nick Drake-inspired chamber folk melody in ethereal Enoesque synths; “I Found the Other Way” is a sparkling power pop masterclass; “Sky Is Suspended” marries a sea shanty feel to visionary exhortations; “Maria and the Clouds Move In” couches a folk horror lyric in Latin-tinged rhythms; “Eternal High” hints channels Abbey Road on a downcast day; and effervescent lead single “Cinder Hill” nods to both bossa nova and psychedelic pop.

King Sized Coffin is a band from Minneapolis, MN. Others describe them as Gothic Jazz, Deranged Pop, or Horror Folk. They just say that they sing of love and death and monsters.
The group uses a wide variety of instruments to create a sound that listeners compare to Tom Waits, Harley Poe, Gogol Bordello, and The Pogues. Somehow they manage to be hilarious and heartbreaking in the same set. Expect the unexpected.

Bury 'Em Deep w. Rank Strangers, TV Moms (NYC)
2025-12-27 13:00 - 16:00
Bury ’em Deep:

From the ashes of such bands as Seymore Saves the World, Superdanger, Me and My Arrow, and Beasthead, rises a dark and brooding indie-western soundtrack for your apocalypse. Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep have combined to create hellish landscapes of a dystopian nightmare while not forgetting the righteous influences of old school country, indie-pop, and noise rock. The resulting sound is one of Johnny Cash, Phil Collins, and Godspeed You Black Emperor, fighting a bloodless three way cage match for superiority. No one wins but you, when you dig the music of Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep.

Rank Strangers:

original independent rock music, established 1990
based in minneapolis, minnesota the united states of amerika

TV Moms:

TV Moms are a New York-based grungy, guitar-drums rock band with a sound reminiscent of classic MTV-era power chord rock, featuring heavy, punchy riffs and a jaded, DIY aesthetic. Their music is described as a mix of loud, energetic rock and melodic, sarcastic “bummer rock” and has been compared to bands like Nirvana, Hole, and Pavement.

GALACTIC COWBOY ORCHESTRA
2026-01-04 18:00 - 20:00
GALACTIC COWBOY ORCHESTRA was started in 2009 by founding member/bass player John Wright. The band was born out of a desire to play technically challenging music derived from John’s influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dixie Dregs and King Crimson, to name a few. Wright enlisted the aid of guitarist Dan Neale, who brought to the table many deep Jazz influences in his advanced playing and composing style. Along with the band’s first drummer, Mark O’Day, the beginnings of Galactic Cowboy Orchestra were found. Soon after, violinist (and John’s wife) Lisi Wright joined the band with her aggressive “electric guitar player plays violin” style and engaging stage presence to complete the band’s sound and look. Fast forward 16 years: 6 studio releases (and one live), 3 Downbeat Nominations, a Minnesota Arts Tour Grant, collaborations with symphony orchestras, thousands of miles of touring and the band is just getting started.
2025 sees the GCO with a new studio release and a stronger than ever commitment to create the ultimate musical moment between the players and the audience with their Art Rock/Jazz Fusion creations.
