Great Lakes Country from a front porch in Duluth, MN. Bringing foot-stomping hometown country jams and soulfully sentimental ballads, Breanne Marie & The Front Porch Sinners delivers high-energy Americana.
The band was formed in 2013 for Breanne’s debut album. Current members include Breanne Marie, Evan Tepler, Kailyn Pelerin, Johnny “Blaze” Peterson, Matt Groom and Tarek Makky. Their 2025 release “Two Trees” is out everywhere 11/14/25. Recorded at Sparta with Rich Mattson and produced by Jillian Rae, the new album features fan favorites “Under the Grove” and “Ida Mae.”
The band blends traditional pedal steel and fiddle with guitar lines, driving bass and drums which Americana Highways described as “a brilliant blend of 90s indie and country.” Whether winding through creative sonic landscapes or laying down toe-tapping bluegrass, their heartfelt lyrics and songwriting aim to warm even the coldest nights.

Live Music: The Leave Alones
2026-06-20 16:00 - 18:00
The Leave Alones are an alt-garage rock crew with a punk edge, channeling swagger and chaos in equal measure. Vocalists/guitarists Cole Holstrom and Erik Sather, bassist Dave Mold, and drummer Mike Ballard deliver high-energy, unapologetically loud songs about broken relationships, bad life choices, and trying to escape small towns. The band is working on their sophomore record, Slump, to follow their debut album All The People We Know, which was packed with pop-punk emotion and colored with early punk Midwest alternative. On the band’s name, Holstrom says, “Half the band wants to be left alone, and half the band ends up leaving the bar alone, so it just ended up being an example of art imitating life.” Equal parts fun and self-deprecating.
