Adapting from a six to a four-piece band, they dove deep to rediscover their core sound and emerged more unified than ever. "Into Focus" is a collection of experiences, each track crafted with love and a touch of new beginnings, especially evident as they welcomed their newest member, Christian on bass, letting Justin shine on the 12-string guitar.

    Funk N Spuds has already written and recorded their next 6 song project that they plan on releasing in the next year, tune in and keep up!

  • K&B Grilled Cheese Truck

    5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    Hold my beer...K&B Grill Cheese is Here!

    The Duluth News Tribune said it best - "This truck, the shape and color of a cut of sharp cheddar, takes the comfort food classic and swaps out Wonder Bread in favor of a homemade loaf. Kevin White, who owns the truck with his partner Breanna Emond, estimates that he makes 40-50 loaves of Italian bread per week.

    The menu changes occasionally, and sandwiches range from traditional-ish (four cheese grilled cheese), to traditional-ish with protein, (buffalo chicken grilled cheese), to the ultimate in nuevo grilled cheese flavors (spinach artichoke)."

    Were so excited!!!

    6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

    High Key Mondays are back! Breathe in the fresh tunes and move to the groovy air. Bring your kids and grandparents. The show is all ages and free.

    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 New Salty Dog.

    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.

    Out of the north midwest and the banks of the mighty Mississippi River grew this “Groovy Grass” band of music makers. High & Rising most often plays as a quartet, with a unique combination of instruments that bring a fresh groovy sound to the Bluegrass & Folk Americana scene.

    The band, led by Laura Farley (upright bass/vocals) and supported by Jym Farley (acoustic guitar), Ben Rohde (percussion) and Harrison Olk (Banjo) have quickly made a name for themselves through their prolific songwriting and performances along-side many notable musicians in the upper midwest music scene.
