USEFUL JENKINS

An acoustic love band from earth.

FROGLEG

7 Piece Twin Cities-Based Musical Powerhouse. Frogleg has been gracing the stages of Midwest venues, clubs and beyond for over a decade. Their studio albums and live performances take the audience on a journey that explores different rhythms ranging from Rootsy Americana, Funk, Progressive Rock, Latin & Reggae, all while being interwoven with hard-hitting impactful lyrics.

FEED THE DOG

Feed the Dog is an eclectic and action-packed, experimental jam-grass act. The midwest based 4-piece masterfully blends soul-pleasing songwriting rich in imagery and storytelling with a genre bending, shake-your-hips, instrumental flair. Their high energy performances are driven by the unique and progressive approach of each player: imaginative melodies with graceful ambiance skillfully crafted on the violin, tireless beats both dynamic and soulful confidently assembled on the drums, driving low end with finesse and intention forged on the bass guitar, and unique approach to playing the acoustic guitar blending fast picking bluegrass runs with the strength of blues and rock to evoke an emotional contrast between melancholy and hopeful.The band started in July of 2015 and has been relentlessly playing festivals, theaters, and clubs alongside regional and national touring acts. “Ding Dang” the band’s third full length album released September 2021, out now.

HIGH & RISING
Out of the northern midwest and the banks of the mighty Mississippi River grew this “Groovy Grass” band of music makers. High & Rising is a unique combination of instruments that bring a fresh groovy sound to the Bluegrass & Folk Americana scene.

NEW SALTY DOG
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.
