Sister Veery is a Duluth-based electric folk rock band whose spacious sound blends electric piano and lilting vocal harmonies with an atmospheric band that will transport you to outer space and deep into your heart. Fronted by classically trained singer and pianist Molly Hilgenberg, Sister Veery brings together the talents of Shanna Willie on drums, Michael Geraci on bass, Chris Rourke on guitar, and Adeline Wright on vocals.

In 2025, Sister Veery released their debut full-length album, Cosmic Relevance, supported by an individual artist grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council.

Opening for Sister Veery is beloved Duluth singer-songwriter Eldri Snow. Eldri is a radio host and champion of women in music through her programming on The North 103.3 FM.

Stella and the Lawless are a Northern Minnesota rock band blending alternative, grunge, and raw, guitar-driven songwriting. Influenced by the sounds of ’90s alternative rock, the band brings a mix of original music, gritty vocals, and melodic hooks, with a sound that’s equal parts heavy and offbeat.

Entheos Enclave is a Duluth based original band fronted by Inga Weis. This Nordic fusion of indie/crossover prog and world music comes from both deep love and deep grief, while moving towards healing. Their lyrics and melodies draw up inspiration from below the surface: emotion, spirituality, and the school of life. Complete with classically-influenced guitar, jazz-influenced piano, bass, drums, backup vox, and Inga’s unique style, a language of its own is created. Their music will have you moving, feeling, and connecting to a meticulous ear and an open heart through complex melodies and cathartic messaging.

Following their 2025 debut album "Eschaton", Entheos Enclave has been releasing new music throughout 2026, and they've also produced a band documentary!
