Emmett Doyle
2025-05-01 17:00 - 19:00
My songs will take you on a journey from the Farm Crisis of the 1980s and its consequences, through mechanization and the changing face of quarrying towns, to a letter to a soldier deployed in Afghanistan, to a satirical take on the billionaire space race.
Songs highlight issues like Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, homelessness in the Twin Cities, the repression of anarchists and antifascists in Belarus and Russia, the need for community self defense against white supremacy, and the problem that union bureaucracies pose to rank and file militancy. The 1934 Teamsters Strike, the 1983 P9 Hormel Strike, the 2021 John Deere Strike, and the 1992 Southern California Drywallers strike all are celebrated in ballads. The deadly 2013 Sartell Mill explosion is commemorated, as is the East Palestine OH derailment, in a song written in response to the unfolding news while the recording was underway. There’s even a moonshining ballad about the MN 13 whiskey distilled in my hometown during Prohibition.

Singer/songwriter Jake La Botz plays roots music that reflects his time performing in streets, bars, churches, and even tattoo parlors. You can also hear the various places La Botz has lived in his music — including his time in New Orleans, the Mississippi Delta, and his native Chicago where, as a young man, he found kinship with some of the last of the pre-war era bluesmen: David “Honeyboy” Edwards, “Homesick” James Williamson, and “Maxwell Street” Jimmy Davis. In 2017 and 2019 Jake released his studio albums Sunnyside and They’re Coming for Me on Hi-Style Records to critical acclaim. Produced by Jimmy Sutton, both albums won Independent Music Awards.
