Voulouse: Voulouse is the recording project of Minneapolis-based songwriter Jacquelyn Beaupré (she/her). Formerly of Milwaukee-based experimental Americana duo Blessed Feathers. Beaupré’s latest explores spirituality, environmental textures and workings of the heart. The new project features collaborations with Marty Brueggemann and Jeff Patlingrao (of Honeytone Studios), Pat Keen (of Humbird) and the vocal harmonies of sister Jamie Sue Beaupré. voulouse’s first single, “Divine Light,” was released fall of 2023, and they are currently finishing their debut album. Jake Manzi: Jake Manzi is a Los Angeles based singer/songwriter, raised in Western Massachusetts. With a subtle touch for turning up pure song-stuff out of life, channeling the likes of Marshall Crenshaw and Tom Petty, of Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen, Manzi offers you his singular take on what contemporary pop-rock can be. Opening for acts like Dawes, NRBQ, Ron Sexsmith, Lori McKenna, and M. Ward and collaborating with artists like Don Was, Mikaela Davis, and Madison Cunningham, Jake Manzi is a songwriter to be reckoned with and a unique talent to be enjoyed. He is currently touring on his 3rd LP, Getting Somewhere. CB: CB. is Texas-born Minnesota-bloomed interdisciplinary artist Christian Bardin (they/she), whose music has hard and soft edges + features wild vocals -- “Joni Mitchell strapped to a rocket.” They composed the short opera YR GOD MY GOD through MN Opera’s MNiatures commission (YouTube), have sung backup for Aby Wolf, Eric Mayson, Theo Langason, and Daniel Bonespur, had a long career in theater, and had a poem about restringing a guitar published through Queer Voices.
