Kaatwalk w. Dani Dahlseid, Nina Luna
2026-01-29 21:00 - 2026-01-30 00:00
Kaatwalk, a Twin Cities based singer-songwriter, infuses her music with a quiet honesty. Her musical style is a blend of heartfelt lyrics and a stripped-down, authentic sound. Inspired by storytellers like Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, and Joni Mitchell, Kaatwalk’s music defies genre boundaries and embraces lived experiences. Her songwriting is personal and reflective, often drawn from the shared moments and emotional undercurrents of everyday life.
She has released 5 songs so far: “Monster” in 2022, “Rum in Your Coffee” in 2022, “Peace of Mind,” a collaboration with the Fargo-based band, Walking Phoenix released in 2023, and “Falling on Deaf Ears” a collaboration with local artist, Dirty Hymns. Kaatwalk’s fifth song release is called “Stop the Rain”, and is available for streaming on October 17th, 2025. You can also find Kaatwalk vocals on many songs of the album “Northern Soul” by Twin Cities based band, The Holy North. The sophomore album was released October 3rd, 2025.
Kaatwalk has been recording new music with respected Minnesota musicians such as Marvin Gohman, Bob Delage, Phil Solem, Gil Navarro, and several guest players. Additionally, she has been working with engineer John Wright at his studio in shakopee, Minnesota.
Outside of her solo work, she performs full-time as one half of the duo Marv and Kaat, and sings with the epic, powerhouse group, The Holy North. Collaboration and community are central to her creative process.
Kaatwalk believes that music isn’t about perfection; it’s about being present and connecting with others. She’s grateful for every opportunity to grow, connect, and share songs that feel authentic.

Nina Luna is, simply put, a force of nature. Born into the mystery of the hills of New England, raised on the spirit and the myths of the North Country in Minneapolis, she cut her teeth on legends of artists come before and forged her own path through the bright lights and dive bars of New York and Los Angeles. The unique influence of her bond with these places comes through in Luna’s music – a natural mysticism and sacred sensuality combine with a lust for life and a fiery edge into a shape-shifting alt-pop sound. Her lyrics are honest and vulnerable while her production is often cinematic and otherworldly, her voice at once ethereal and powerful. Like the elements, Nina Luna is hard to pin down and not so easy to define yet that captivating allusiveness is exactly what keeps the listener coming back for more.

She currently resides in Minneapolis where she writes, records, produces and mixes her own music at home.She also performs frequently solo and with her backing band, delivering an emotional, engaging show for her rapidly expanding hometown fan base.

Conceived in the privacy of an Eagan basement in 2004, Climbing Trees was soon born to rock, and their music has been influencing libidos ever since.

Sam & J w. Squinny, The Daily Norm
2026-02-08 18:00 - 20:00
Sam & J:
Sam & J began their act impromptu at a hair salon, performing Sam’s songs together for a small audience. The set proved to be fun. For the past few years, Sam & J have expanded their musical partnership, recording some of their favorite numbers and performing original music for whoever will have them. Sam & J have borrowed ideas from many people and disciplines–from the writings of Eugene Ionesco and Richard Brautigan, to the music of John Denver and Keith Jarrett.

Squinny:
Squinny is a Minneapolis psych glam four-piece. Synth and riff-heavy, the group’s high-energy performances are home to both dancing and head-banging. Their combination of crushing rhythms and giant melodies is reminiscent of T. Rex a la Daft Punk or Justice.

The Daily Norm:
The Daily Norm is the solo project of Kae Layne, a guitarist from Connecticut, currently residing in Minneapolis. His fingerstyle technique is described as delicate, atmospheric, and thought-provoking. Inspired by the likes of Lindsay Buckingham, Paul McCartney and Bruce Cockburn, he takes what he learns and adds it to his style in a way that you can immediately tell it’s The Daily Norm. His debut Album, “Sometime, Elsewhere” released January 2025, has caught the attention of Minnesota Delta Blues legend, Charlie Parr, leading Parr to shout out the album in his newsletter, saying “If I had this on vinyl it would be worn out by now!”

Kae’s hope is that through his music and performances, he can make a connection with others.

Wilkinson James w. Erik Brandt
2026-03-08 13:00 - 16:00
Wilkinson James was born in 2008 when Liz Wilkinson and AJ Scheiber met up and merged
their singing and songwriting into a musical partnership that one fan described as “the bastard
offspring of June Carter Cash and Townes Van Zandt.” Somewhere along the line that duo
became a full band, adding pedal steel, fiddle, and saxophone to Liz and AJ’s resonant
harmonies and classic-yet-fresh original tunes. Like their well-received albums Wilkinson James
and Abandon, their live shows are enlivened by their love of folk and blues, while adding dashes
of jazz, torch, and swing for fun and flavor.

Erik Brandt has been the ringleader of the award-winning eclectic Twin Cities-based Urban
Hillbilly Quartet since 1995. By night, he plays music. By day, he teaches English at Harding High
School in St. Paul. He’s played in venues all over the USA, Canada, Australia, and on various
street corners throughout Europe. On stage, Erik performs mainly original material drawn from
the Americana vein. Most of his original tunes can be found on the nine albums he’s recorded
with the UHQ and his four solo albums, including his latest, Folksinger. As a multi-
instrumentalist, Erik switches between acoustic guitar, piano and accordion during
performances.
