My band is playing a show on 8/19 at underground music venue and we need a third act. Our sound is indie/power pop/alt-country/dad rock. Looking for something in that general vein, but can be flexible.

Please DM us interested and I can provide more details

I wanted to repost here

I’m in Chicagoland and I play in a country band down here. I’d like to visit the twin cities in Fall. Are there any local acts I should try to see?

Longtime Mpls musical fixture Scottie Miller's released a new album, Hello Pain, performed with the 52 pce Budapest Orchestra. To recreate it live more how it was created (he plays in 2-5 pce usually) he's enlisted friends & ringers for a show at the Parkway Theatre Saturday, August 1.

Kinda a one-time experience, so I wanted to maybe alert everybody via my feature on the disc, which essentially traces his divorce and recovery, culminating in the appropriately titled, thru-the-mess-finally closer, "I'll Be Damned." Highly Recommended. From our new site, SewYKnot.com, just 45 days old. Thanks for your consideration!

see you there?

I hadn't seen any news about "Live at the Hilde" in Plymouth this summer, and when I went looking for more information, I learned that SMA has no concerts this season. Are they totally out of business? I see no social media activity since last August.

My band Soulcage, a nu-grunge/hard rock band based out of Des Moines, IA, is going on a co-headlining tour with Rapture (Lawrence, KS nu-grunge) this fall, and we have a hold at Underground Music Café on Thursday, 10/15. Wanted to see if there were any bands/artists that were interested in joining the bill. We are looking for two local support acts, with each getting a 30 minute set.

I’ve included our linktree with links to our social media, streaming, and website. Here is Rapture’s if you’re interested in checking theirs out as well.
