6:00 p.m: Pretendians:  Pretendians Band is a Native American rock band that calls Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota home. Formed in 2014, the group has made a name for themselves by infusing their music with a modern indigenous perspective, crafting a dynamic and energy-fueled brand of conscious rock music. Despite the name of the band, Pretendians Band is not pretending anything. Most of the band represent the Oceti ?akowi? (7 Council Fires) of the Dakhota/Lakhota Nation, hailing from Standing Rock, Rosebud, and Crow Creek tribes.? Pretendians Band draws inspiration from a wide range of rock influences and has crafted their unique brand of rock music by joining it with indigenous-centric lyrics, told from a modern Indigenous perspective.

7:30 p.m: New Salty Dog: Salty Dog is an exciting new band from Duluth Minnesota founded by the Mahon brothers, Jacob & Owen. Owen only eats apples & Jacob lives in a boot. Luckily the brothers met Calzone who plays a wicked electric Bass Guitar. Lefty, who slapa da Conga. Sam Deters who sings on the electric guitar. And Gavin G-man St. Claire who can play two Keyboards very well at the same time while singing! Damn G-man how you do that?

9:00 p.m: Forefeathers: A four piece music powerhouse of funk, rock and soul based out of Fargo.  These four friends blend their influence and love of a wide variety of music including Jam, Funk, Rock, Psychedelic, & Americana. Apart from playing primarily original music, the band has also done several tribute shows to Neil Young, Tom Petty, Sly and the Family Stone, Sublime and even Rage Against The Machine.

11:00 p.m: Brother Jon Band: Rooted in Classic Rock and  blues, the band has a style all of our own. Promoting their first release Open Jam, the band is getting some recognition with the song Bobby’s Blues, currently on multiple stations across the US and followed up by the song Dog getting some good airtime as well.  The band keeps getting better and moving through the trenches...playing locally, regionally and nationally at clubs and festivals. Most notably Lowertown Blues Festival, St Paul MN.  Homegrown Festival, Duluth MN.  Northwoods Blues Festival, Chippewa Falls WI. The Red Gorilla Festival in Austin Texas, and  South by Southwest festival.
