Show Reviews

Keegan Ales celebrated their second year of brewing fine ale by hosting a concert with two exceptional bands, in of all places, right in the brewery.

Listening to John Hammond is like stepping into a college level course on the History of the Blues. Hammond gives you the inside skinny on the musicians who created the blues style, before showing you why the music is so special and historic. From Skip James to Jimmie Rodgers, Buddy Guy to Howlin

Imagine going to a music school and studying with musicians who later would go on to form bands like The Slip and the Benevento/Russo Duo. What a crazy time it must have been for Marc Friedman, Andrew Barr and Marco Benevento when they attended classes together before they went on to form their revered bands. Their bond still holds strong, as was evidenced at their show to close out

The third annual 10kLF event held in Northern Minnesota turned out to be one of the best festivals of the summer with amazing sets from almost every act floating into the stratosphere from four stages.

Around 2:30am the illegitimate child of Frank Zappa and Phish who grew up and formed a band with the metal loving, mullet wearing kid down the block, ascended to the stage. Opening with a double blast of pure raw energy,
