SALTYDOG
Their rhythms may be a little bossy. Their drummers commanded me to feel Saucy. Another Duluth band that can hold a groove. The Bass lines funk and the bootys move. Some songs tell stories and others tell moods. They sing about friends and they sing about foods. With Improvisations both jarring and dreamy, one guitar clucks and the other ones creamy. Looking for a band to follow outta the fog? Well look no further than Saltydog.

Duluth-based northwoods funk jam band Saltydog consists of Jacob Mahon on guitar and vocals, drummer Owen “Owie”Mahon (who also does vocals), Sam Deters on guitar, Bryon “Lefty” Johnson on percussion, Calvin “Calzone” Lund on the Bass and Gavin St. Clair on the keys.

FEATURING: FOUR MILE PORTAGE
Old-time banjo/fiddle songs about whiskey and chickens, or loss and perseverance. Don't be surprised to see some clogging steps show up.

Event Category: Pop-Up Event

Tres Osos is a vibrant bluegrass and country band hailing from the scenic shores of Duluth, Minnesota. The trio, featuring Nicholas Klee on the mandolin, Ian Kvale on the bass, and Tim Leutgeb on the guitar, brings a blend of traditional bluegrass and classic country sounds to life. With a shared passion for fishing, the great outdoors, and good food, Tres Osos infuses their love for nature and camaraderie into every performance, creating music that's as authentic as the rugged landscapes they call home.

American Soul is a fitting brand for Mark Joseph; since his 2017 album by that name, he has charted a relentless and soulful course through America, and Americana, from blues to country to psychedelic rock and everything in between. As authentically American as you would want, and as heartfelt and passionate as you can get. Joseph dings all the bells on any given night, indeed darn near every night, chalking up 200+ shows a year, criss-crossing the heartland, from CO to MS, from NY to LA, as the hardest working family music man you will ever know. He is also piling up the albums, roughly one a year, churning out consistently high quality product.

Mark Joseph has worked every gig in the business. As a promoter he has shepherded mega shows like Revival Fest booking Phil Lesh, Leftover Salmon, Jon Cleary and others; as a road manager he’s tackled logistics for Stokely Williams and Mint Condition; as a sideman he’s been the youthful guitar slinger in The Big Wu. All the while he is studying and absorbing every aspect of the music industry, meeting the people on each level, and finding his unique voice as an artist.

And found it he has. Lord can this man sing. He’s got a range Gregg Allman dreamed of, with a tone and character rivaling Chris Stapleton. He digs low for the lows, and soars with the highs, all with his genuine Northfield MN gravel. It’s a voice that wraps its everlasting arms around you and won’t let go, because he is as loyal to his fans as he is to his own family.

He also shreds on guitar, a la Clapton with Cream, a brilliant round tone with vibrato and touch. At times you’d swear you’re hearing Garcia, at others some ancient Delta bluesman, long forgotten, but for the DNA of the soul of America.

Deep Space, Light-speed, Bluegrass!

Nationally touring Spacegrass outfit Buffalo Galaxy (Minneapolis, MN) is taking bluegrass out of this world. Tradition fades into the stratosphere when they go looking for what’s out there… Ethereal jams and rolling banjos tunes intermix with hard grooves and pop choruses as they celebrate another day making music. Buffalo Galaxy has played over 300 shows in over 20 states from The West Coast to The Blue Ridge Mountains, and will be pushing the boundaries even further this year!

There’s a reason this 7-piece, horn-centric, rock and boogie band has hammered an exclamation point on the end of its name. A Band Called Truman! has been staging sharp, intense, and exclamatory original music for 16 years and has built a large, loyal audience it affectionately describes as “local goofballs.” Led by tireless frontman Leon Rohrbaugh and his baby blue hollow body guitar, the group includes a rhythm section held down by Ian Connell on drums and John Erickson on bass, with Jim Pospisil on keys and a powerhouse horn section that includes Dale Shimmin, Kelli Hallsten and Jessica Lilja Olson”
