Ray Barnard CD Release
2025-03-09 17:00 - 19:00
And The Horse You Rode In On is my fifth solo LP. It is a fusion of reggae, roots, and soul grooves. Whereas my last LP, Radicalized, was more experimental, this one is nuts and bolts, meat & potatoes – the rhythm tracks were all cut live (at Jeremy Johnson & Greg Schutte’s studios). Overdubs were minimal ( cut at my home studio). I wrote, arranged, and produced it myself – with some help writing the songs.
Thematically, it’s a lot about the love/hate relationship I have with the city I work in (excepting Frogtown, the least pretentious neighborhood I know). Some say I suffer from small fish/big pond syndrome. I call it ‘casting pearls before swine’ syndrome. Suffice it to say I worked very hard on this LP & I’m proud of it. The rhythm section is 2nd to none and the songs are too, dammit!

Paper Chain
2025-02-02 17:00 - 19:00
Paper Chain is a quartet from Minneapolis, led by composer and lyricist Caitlin Benson. The group features Caitlin on lead vocals and cello, Andrew S. Lentz on piano, Chris Cuellar on guitar, Rigel Bloome on drums, and makes prominent use of three-part vocal harmony arranged by the group’s pianist. Paper Chain’s music is the effortless synthesis of modern chamber-pop with 19th century romantic composers such as Beethoven, Schumann, and Grieg. Caitlin’s writing straddles the feelings of open prairie skies and hurried metropolitan energy.

Almost Brothers
2025-01-30 20:00 - 23:00
Almost Brothers:
Sean Keogan and Patrick Irwin are both Minnesota natives who blend heartfelt storytelling with rich, soulful melodies, drawing inspiration from artists like The Avett Brothers, John Moreland, and Jim Croce. Their vivid lyrics and warm harmonies create an inviting atmosphere, leaving audiences with a lasting sense of peace and connection.
Candice Wu: SF-native Candice is a Chinese-American singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn. Her sound is a blend of Folk-Indie, Blues, R&B, and Soul, acting as musical reflections of the people, influences, and emotions she’s experienced. Dive into her soothing melodies and introspective lyrics as she hums a whirlwind of indecision, identity crises, and discovery.
Mickyle James: Mickyle James has a radically unique style of music that will keep you guessing, never being able to predict what’s around the next corner. Opening for musicians like Colter Wall, they contrast heavy and soft, loud and quiet, smooth and rough, dark and light. One breath sung with gravel, and the next sung with silk. All of which accompanied with thought provoking lyrics.
