★ racket - Live music isn’t dead, but scalpers and Ticketmaster’s monopoly are doing their best to kill it. Entry-level tickets to see Noah Kahan at Target Field last week were going for $400–$500 on resale, so unless you’re willing to skimp on groceries for a bit, stadium tickets might be off the table. But music doesn’t really sound any better when it’s played on a massive stage, and the hottest low-cost venue this week is your neighbor’s porch. Uptown Porchfest brings local bands to local porches for a day of little free concerts. It’s a grassroots-organized tradition that’s just getting bigger every year. This week, a whopping 85 bands will perform from porches throughout the Minneapolis's Wedge neighborhood, covering a wide span of genres—everything from rock to classical to whatever “cute gaze mew-mew metal ethereal indie” is. (Check out Ditch Pigeon if you’re interested in that last one.) Food trucks and bathrooms will be available at Mueller Park, but attendees are encouraged to eat at local businesses as well.
Folk, Americana · Minneapolis
After a decade of playing gigs both large and small around the city of Chicago with indie rockers, Buckman Page, as well as with front porch folkers, Distant Brothers, Matty and his partner packed up their lives and moved to northeast Minneapolis in 2021. His current musical project, "Matty & The Subtle Validation" stems from something of a quest to find ways to connect with and to validate others through music. He's not an expert and it may not even be something he's very good at, but the bottom line is this: no matter who you are or where you're from, everyone deserves value.
