Tim Cheesebrow
2025-07-25 21:00 - 2025-07-26 00:45
Tim started writing songs in the 90’s as a way to make sense of the world. He studied the craft in earnest while getting his degree in classical music composition, and cemented his style while volunteering at a monastery and school near New Orleans.
20 years later and he’s still at it, playing over 120 shows per year. He now has seven full-length solo albums under his belt, a published book on songwriting, a studio, a music education non-profit, and is showing no signs of slowing down.
His music layers an eclectic mix of styles to create a sound with modern grooves, catchy melodies, and a sense of being grounded in deep roots. He’s known for his percussive guitar work, capo-wizardry, and an expressive voice big enough to fill any room.
Tim’s lyrics are heartfelt and honest, bringing audiences with him to explore concepts of family, self-doubt, hope, grief, and the many facets of love. He looks to music as a source of healing and puts that magic to work at each performance so listeners leave with more than they expected to find. Tim’s calm and passionate presence, combined with his thoughtful song-craft, make him a favorite of intimate listening rooms.

Release The Craicen
2025-08-02 20:00 - 23:45
Release the Craicen was a startup band new to the Irish scene in 2017. They debuted in a pub sing along on St. Patrick’s Day. You can often find them down at the Dubliner Pub in St. Paul. Focusing on a Pogues and Flogging Molly influenced Irish Rock-Folk-Punk style, classic rock rhythms raise up rousing choruses while fiddle and accordion tunes reminisce days gone by. Between classic pub songs, modern Paddy Rock covers and an original or two, Release the Craicen has something for everyone.
We enjoy a diverse mix of bands and their unique styles of playing. We combine them into our own style. Those bands include The Pogues, Flogging Molly, The Tossers, The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats, The Dreadnoughts, Dropkick Murphy, Great Big Sea, and two of our local favorites The Langer’s Ball and St. George’s Folly.

Robb Henry Trio
2025-08-03 17:00 - 19:00
Guitarist Robb Henry is perhaps best known for his work with Parisota Hot Club, a band he formed to explore the gypsy jazz stylings of French guitarist Django Reinhardt in 2001.
Since early 2010, he has also been performing a distinctive blend of instrumental music with his self-titled trio featuring the guitarist with bassist Jim Chenoweth and drummer Ben Kaplan.
Live sets by the RHT are a melting pot of styles steeped in blues, jazz and ’60’s pop music. Familiar melodies, unexpected excursions, and sonic surprises reminiscent of vintage psychedelic Brit-Rock, all inhabit a fluid, musical landscape. Retro noire style movie themes, à la Henry Mancini and others, selections by Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles are standard set features.
