Deep Fortune w. Storm Coffee & 4 Star Review
2026-04-03 21:00 - 2026-04-04 00:00
4 Star Review: 4 Star Review Music is influenced by many styles but found their unique niche in ambient/americana/rock combo. They don’t take themselves too seriously so neither should you. Come sing, dance and chill with us as we go on this journey together.

Storm Coffee: Storm Coffee is the project of three friends using our unique trio or instruments to infuse the music with feeling, improv, and grooves. Enjoy a cup of Minneapolis’ own Storm Coffee.

Deep Fortune: A musical project forged from love and circumstance, Deep Fortune is ever-mutating, shaped by years of antics and an urge to capture the moment. Morphing between genres like garage rock, funk, and synthpop, the friends behind Deep Fortune dodge every expectation, blending bits and hooks into an endearing, unpredictable package.
Four friends. Two brothers. One family.

Jupiter Johnson w. Vanishing Earth & Dread Spells
2026-04-02 21:00 - 2026-04-03 00:00
A dark cloud permeates the world from the edge of every ocean. As it slowly engulfs the world around it, ruin, disease, and despair is left in its wake. Some have witnessed the cloud and lived, but it is apparent that even witnessing such an abomination has caused them to lose a part of themselves. Only the cruel and unforgiving disposition of nature itself could create such an evil. One cannot help but weep knowing such an atrocity is allowed to exist in this world. Vanishing Earth is a black metal band that seeks to find the silver lining of this cloud.

When I was in second grade there was this kid named Jupiter who tried to start a detective club with some other kids. They apparently solved some mysteries but then Jupiter went missing and I don’t think the family ever found him. Jupiter Johnson are a scrappy group of guys who bring a lot of energy and a somewhat passable amount of musicianship to the very smallest stages of the Twin Cities.

Dread 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.

Between the three of them they have filled out the rhythm section for groups such as Dead Man Winter, Sonny Knight and the Lakers, Ryan Bingham, Brian Fallon, Sarah Morris, Mike Munson, Jack Klatt, and many others. They play at the White Squirrel the first Wednesday of every month where they stretch out on an eclectic range of tunes from country classics, old folk songs, and deep cut soul tunes. Often they are joined by the who’s who of local songwriters as their special guests every month, where they get to show off their skills as professional sidemen. They look forward to the first Wednesday every month and they’d be thrilled if you came by to join them sometime.

Mary Cutrufello

With 30 years of experience in the music business, Mary Cutrufello is everything from Texas honky-tonk heroine and fiery Midwestern roots-rocker to a powerhouse acoustic performer. Connecticut-raised and Yale-educated, Mary’s musical journey has taken her from the East Coast to Houston and now to Minnesota. Career highlights include: the major label release of ”When the Night is Through,” on Mercury Records in 1998, appearances on national tv shows such as Tonight Show with Jay Leno, appearances at major festivals including Farm Aid, and tours with Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Tish Hinojosa. Mary has seven self-released albums, and has played guitar locally for Annie Mack, Michael Perry and the Long Beds, and many others.

Dan Lowinger, a transplant from Portland, OR, is a guitarist steeped in the tradition of Western swing and classic country. Since moving to the Twin Cities in 2017, Dan has become a fixture in the local country and Americana scene, playing on a regular basis with all star Western swing band Honky Tonk Jump, and country rockers Cole Diamond, while also sharing the stage with local greats, Martin Zellar (Gear Daddies), Tony Andreason (The Trashmen), Pat Donohue (Prairie Home Companion) and many others! He has performed regionally and toured nationally with many different country and swing bands from the Pacific Northwest including: The Barn Door Slammers, Ralph Carney’s Pepper Grinders, Vince Mira, and Western Centuries.

The Mary Cutrufello Band
2026-03-27 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.
