9PM pm Showtime The music group “Harriet Tubman” formed in 1998 when drummer JT Lewis, guitarist Brandon Ross and bassist Melvin Gibbs came together to start a band with meaning. Named after the heroic African American slave who risked her life to escape from slavery and help more than 300 others to do the same, Harriet Tubman is deeply inspired by the ideals of freedom. The trio’s music — a fusion of soul, rock, jazz, and blues — examines the depths of these genres for their own unique liberated musical expression. The band counts Jimi Hendrix, Ornette Coleman, and Parliament-Funkadelic as contributors to its musical DNA. Guitarist and singer Brandon Ross, bassist Melvin Gibbs, and drummer J.T. Lewis have collaborated with artists as diverse as Cassandra Wilson, Living Colour, Lou Reed, Herbie Hancock, Henry Threadgill, Sting, Arrested Development, the Rollins Band, David Murray and Meshell Ndegeocello. Their own sound is pure and liberated musical expression — a deep and soulful meditation on the concept of freedom. Integrating sampling and other digital methods into a compelling genre-defying sound, Harriet Tubman embraces the pioneering spirit of jazz. Re-contextualizing musical technology to create innovative compositions is an important part of the African American tradition, and the trio sees Harriet Tubman as its contribution to that tradition. In essence, “Harriet Tubman” makes music that is a fusion of soul, rock, jazz, blues, and avant-garde. “Georgia Anne Muldrow, a forward-thinking vocalist and producer, joined Harriet Tubman for a new album of immersive psychedelic fusion.” —New York Times

Icehouse

$18 adv / $25 dos

5:30 Doors | 7:30 PM Showtime Come celebrate We Are All Travelers Here, the new album from Minneapolis singer-songwriter Jaspar Lepak, whose poetic, evocative music has been called “comforting and charmingly unpretentious” by 89.3 The Current. Out November 6, the album will be performed in full by the studio band that brought it to life: Ben Cook-Feltz on piano, percussion, and harmonies; Andy Schuster on bass; DGS on violin; and Haley E. Rydell on harmonies, with special guest Peter Remiger on electric guitar. Over two sets, Jaspar will share stories from the making of the record, while the band members step into the spotlight with original songs of their own. Two sets. The whole album. The musicians who made it. One special night to celebrate. Jaspar Lepak (pronounced JAS-per LEE-pack) is a Minneapolis singer-songwriter known for her clear, pure voice, bravely honest songs, and deep attention to the natural world. Originally from Tucson, she studied classical piano and literature in the Twin Cities before discovering songwriting on guitar after college. Her music has followed her from Minneapolis to Durban, South Africa—where she recorded Forgiving Wind, praised by Rolling Stone South Africa as “full of beauty and original charm”—to Seattle and back to Minnesota. Her 2021 album Desert Ghosts reached the Top 10 on the Folk Radio Chart, followed by 2024’s So Strong, which debuted at #6. Her songs have been featured by the Yale School of Medicine, Democracy Now!, and Christine Lavin’s The Seasons Project, reflecting a body of work that is tender, deeply observant, and sometimes playfully defiant.

Rachel Ries Residency: Saint Grandma's Garage

Icehouse

Doors 3:00pm

$15 adv / $22 dos

There's a new (garage) band in town featuring Rachel Ries, jeremy messersmith, Hilary James, JE Sunde, Sadie Gustafson-Zook and The Starfolk and this is their first show ever! One hot hot day jeremy messersmith came over to pick sour cherries in my brother's backyard and jump in the dodgy above-ground pool. Somewhere between the sticky fingers and toweling off he said "Hey, wanna gather up some friends and play in my garage before it freezes? It's all set up for band rehearsals. We could be a low-stakes seasonal band, playing each other's songs and swapping instruments." Who could say no to that. So that's how jeremy, me, Hilary James (bathtub cig), Sadie Gustafson-Zook, JE Sunde, and Brian & Allison (The Owls, Starfolk) became an honest to god band. Currently everyone fights over playing the bass so we'll see how things shake down for day 2 of my fall residency. Oh yeah and jeremy's garage looks like it was designed by a feisty grandmother in 1972, hence the name. Rachel Ries is the voice behind Her Crooked Heart, the choral arranging mastermind behind Kith + Kin Chorus and the builder of a terribly charming tiny home on wheels. She's released many records and toured around the world but mostly she enjoys being an auntie, thinking in 8-part harmony, solving construction conundrums, writing songs for patrons and honing her Portuguese Egg Tart baking skills.

Mike Baggetta, Eli Winter Double Solos Tour

Icehouse — Starlight Room

Doors 6:00pm · Show 8:00pm

$15 adv / $22 dos

Starlight Room Show: First Come First Serve Seating About Mike Baggetta: “Mike Baggetta is a player of immense subtlety across all dimensions, working with an impressive palette of tones … distilling Robert Fripp’s loopscapes with hints of John Fahey.” -The Wire, UK “...A terrific player, capable of weirdly elegant fretwork, shivery Tom Verlaine-esque tones, freeform freakouts and crunchy fuzz, shifting from one zone to another with a naturalness and ease.” -Aquarium Drunkard About Eli Winter: “Here, the Chicago-based wunderkind—an accomplished writer with storytelling bonafides beyond the guitar—merges the mythos of his native Texas with jazzy, explosive bombast, like a cowboy on DMT.” — Pitchfork "Eli Winter's second turn as bandleader unfolds like a sky bleeding exhaust fumes, alternating pedal steel waltzes and jazz-burnt fuzz bombs. The record starts with an ecstatic riff on a Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell tune and doesn't really let off the gas." — NPR

Elsa Krantz Debut Album Release, Nikki Lemire Quartet

Icehouse

Doors 6:00pm

$20 adv / $27 dos

Duluth singer-songwriter Elsa Krantz is releasing her debut CD self-titled 'Elsa Krantz: Deluxe Edition' with a full band. Nikki Lemire as a quartet will open the night to support this release show. Elsa Krantz Bio: Elsa Krantz is a Duluth, Minnesota-based musician whose work imagines a pre and post-apocalyptic vision for a better world. Elsa Krantz represents her solo singer-songwriter project, with sonic roots inspired by her actual dreams in the night and her local experiences in the day. Krantz's music comes to life with a full-band. This debut record explores stripped acoustics, synth layers, blues inspirations and rock and roll. 'Elsa Krantz: Deluxe Edition' is an exploration of the many choices one may face when at the crossroads of creative freedom. Nikki Lemire Bio: Employing modern pedal harp techniques, looping and electric effects, Nikki Lemire weaves her expressive vocals over complex and hypnotic accompaniment. Her songs sit somewhere between the old folk bedrock of Joan Baez, the musical innovation of Joni Mitchell, and the influential pop stylings of Billie Eilish. Nikki artfully shapes the music to her words, creating a sound that refuses to adhere to any one particular genre, somehow feeling old and new at the same time.

Rachel will be joined by Alec Watson, Liz Draper, Toby Ramaswamy, Hilary James and special guests as they unveil unreleased bangers from the new Her Crooked Heart studio project. What a gorgeous time I've been having making a record with this crew! The mind-boggling artistry of Alec Watson (who'll play an opening set). The somehow steady yet psychedelic Liz Draper. Toby Ramaswamy's huge heart and way of always being down to explore. Hilary James: my ride or die and purveyor of all the disarming joy, production ideas and most luscious cello tones. Adelyn Strei brings the wildness with woodwinds. Duets with JE Sunde and Hemma. And a choir! There's a choir. And throughout all that, it's just been so chill yet oddly effective to work with co-producer Mike Noyce and Dexter Wolfe at the board. The record won't be out until next year but the songs are alive and bursting with energy NOW so we're going to play them for you. Poet Rock? Unexpected Love Songs? I'm not sure how to describe this album yet so maybe if you come, you can help me find the words. Rachel Ries is the voice behind Her Crooked Heart, the choral arranging mastermind behind Kith + Kin Chorus and the builder of a terribly charming tiny home on wheels. She's released many records and toured around the world but mostly she enjoys being an auntie, thinking in 8-part harmony, solving construction conundrums, writing songs for patrons and honing her Portuguese Egg Tart baking skills.

DonFest 2

Icehouse

Doors 6:00pm

$13 adv / $20 dos

Haters Club hosts the second annual DonFest at Icehouse. Bringing in our good friends Scott Hefte and the Bury 'em Deep and Echo Lake. Come give thanks and get your Don on! Haters Club is a rock and roll outfit that isn’t afraid to jump smoothly from genre to genre, while staying focused on sweet melodies and vocal harmonies. Songwriter D.J. Kukielka, guitarist Ted Held, and bassist Amy Rajkowski were friends and members of the local label Eclectone forming the band in Minneapolis, 2010. The band debuted its first song, “Day After Halloween,” featuring J.T. Bates on drums, along with a video from Six-Ton Productions in 2011. Over the next year, the band only played a few gigs, notably opening for Caveman at 7th Street Entry, and received local radio attention. The band recorded their first EP, The Golden Age of Haters Club, in 2012 with Brett Bullion. Shortly after the EP was released the band went on hiatus for personal reasons. After spending the last 10 years playing in a wide range of projects (Wizards Are Real, Street Hassle, Bourbon County), Kukielka and Held have brought the band back together with former Hojas Rojas bassist Donovan Johnson, and drummer Erik Olson. Kukielka was eager to relaunch the band and they recorded their vibrant EP, RIYH, at Minnehaha Recording Studios in October, 2022. The EP was released in January, 2023 and the band was featured on the Current’s March Scouting Report and made the best-of-2023 list for Adventures in Americana. Don’t hate on this crew, you’re gonna have fun. From the ashes of such bands as Seymore Saves the World, Superdanger, Me and My Arrow, and Stolyette, 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. Minneapolis-based trio Echo Lake has been blending genres of American roots music since 2016. Founded by Stephen Filla-Kim, Donovan Johnson, and Cory Ginsburg, the band delivers an eclectic mix of traditional country, folk, and expansive psychedelia. While their live sets feature a curated smattering of covers from influences like Beck, Blaze Foley, The Tallest Man on Earth and The Grateful Dead, it is their original songwriting and live improvisation that form their core sound.

Rachel's fall residency culminates with the OG Her Crooked Heart: Siri Undlin, Hilary James, Adelyn Strei and Hemma Between 2018-2020 we spent so many months traipsing town to city, living room to rock club, the US to the UK and Ireland and back. An absolute dream band. Knowing all too well how taxing touring can be for the spirit, I wanted to pick my favorite people and build the music from there. What a band! What an era. Siri Undlin (humbird), Hilary James (bathtub cig), Adelyn Strei (so many), Hannah Hebl (Hemma). Between us there were, I think, 12 instruments on stage? (Plus all the harmony!) In Dec 2019, absolutely honed from tour, we had a wintry session at Brian Joseph's studio, Hive. We sang 5 songs, all live, Jesse filmed the day and it was grand. And then the pandemic. Everything changed. Lives, zip codes, visions, priorities. What didn't change? Our abiding adoration of each other. So it's high time for a reunion show and it's even higher time to finally release Live at Hive. Rachel Ries is the voice behind Her Crooked Heart, the choral arranging mastermind behind Kith + Kin Chorus and the builder of a terribly charming tiny home on wheels. She's released many records and toured around the world but mostly she enjoys being an auntie, thinking in 8-part harmony, solving construction conundrums, writing songs for patrons and honing her Portuguese Egg Tart baking skills.

Fresh off the release of their latest EP "Hell of a Ride" and US tour, the Minneapolis-based fivesome returns home to spread a little holiday cheer as they wrap up 2026 Over the last decade, the fivesome have released a tapestry of big-picture pop anthems, soulful ballads, and driving- with-the-windows-down-belt-your-heart-out bangers. One idea remains a constant through it all: reminding listeners that they are never alone. Maria and the Coins have opened for Christina Perri, Jukebox the Ghost, Papa Roach and Haley Reinhart. Their mental health anthem “Something Good” will be featured in the upcoming independent film “interiorem pueri” next spring and their song “Movin’ On” off their debut album Forward has been played all over the world earning it over a half a million streams across platforms. The new record marks a sonic shift for Maria and the Coins from their debut album Forward (2020). The fivesome drew arrangement and production inspiration from some of their favorite early 2000s records like Hilary Duff, Kelly Clarkson, Green Day and Coldplay. The result is a modern-yet-nostalgic soundscape that brings their Y2K influences into the year 2026.
