Live Music: Saltydog, with Skarlett Woods
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
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: SKARLETT WOODS
Eclectic Singer-Songwriter and guitarist Skarlett Woods can only be placed in one musical category: powerful. Her original work can be daring and Jazzy like early 1970's Joni Mitchell, poetic like Bob Dylan, sweet and sexy like Norah Jones or laced with Americana like Brandi Carlile. "Remarkable, audacious, and utterly one-of-a-kind."- Dave Franklin (The Big Takeover).

Live Music: Music From Earth: Russ Kaplan and the Pale Blue Dot
8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
In 1977, aboard the Voyager space probe, humans sent a message of hope and good will into space for whoever might find it… a golden record album containing music from across the globe. Now, in 2025, composer/arranger Russ Kaplan has taken this “global mixtape” as inspiration for a unique concert that highlights our shared humanity. With an 8-piece ensemble comprised of only the most universal instruments - voices and percussion - Kaplan and his musicians present stirring and innovative new arrangements of highlights from the Golden Record, as well as original pieces created with multicultural collaborators. From China to the Republic of the Congo, from Bach to Chuck Berry, Music From Earth is a truly optimistic and international musical experience.
Russell Kaplan is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activitiy is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
