Live Music 2025: Squid City Slingers
2025-10-18 14:00 - 15:30
Squid City Slingers is a high-energy trio blending bluegrass, folk, country and gypsy jazz. Based in Minnesota, they’ve built a strong following in the Twin Cities and Twin Ports with driving stand-up bass, fiery fiddle, and flat-picking guitar. Their mix of heartfelt originals and handpicked covers delivers foot-stomping energy and rich harmonies.
SCS has played renowned venues like Bent Paddle, Earth Rider, Gunflint Tavern, and Cloudland Theater while making waves at major events. In 2024, they headlined Bluegrass on the Black Festival and SquidFest and played the MN Musician Showcase at Mall of America. In 2025, they’ll hit Jackson MN’s Rhythm of the River Bluegrass Festival, Bayfield WI’s Apple Fest, Copper Trail Brewing Oletober Fest, St. Peter MN’s Rock Bend Folk Festival, ND’s Kota Ray Dam Music Festival, and River Falls WI’s Bluegrass Festival, expanding their reach into WI, IA, and ND.
SCS also plays private events and weddings, with many booked for 2025. Their upcoming EP, “Harbors & Highways”, drops in Summer 2025, with their first 3 singles already released. SCS has appeared on TV (KEYC news), Radio (WTIP North Shore, 90.1 KSRQ-FM, 89.7 KMSU), VoyageMN Magazine, Mankato Free Press newspaper articles and online video performances, and NPR’s “The Great American Folk Show” podcast hosted by ND’s folk legend Tom Brosseau. With new music and growing demand, Squid City Slingers are on the rise as one of the Midwest’s most exciting new acoustic acts.

Junkyard Mule Duo
2025-10-18 16:00 - 18:00
Junkayrd Mule is an acoustic band that plays original music, with an old time feel. Pulling inspiration from country classics and traditional old time music.
Old-tyme country, acoustic three-piece Junkyard Mule plays original songs and classic covers about drifting, drinking and long-lost love. The band’s music sounds like it was made in the back room of a crossroads general store sometime around 1950. After hours. With a little homemade hooch to lighten the load. Junkyard Mule hasn’t released any work yet, but when it does it should be on both Spotify and shellac. The supergroup features vocalist and guitar/mandolin player Nate Hynum, bassist Jennifer Krussow and fiddle ace Clancy Ward.

Live Music 2025: Adam Moe
2025-11-07 18:00 - 20:00
Adam Moe is a fiddler and singer/songwriter based in Duluth, MN. In 2012, he started the folky-tonk duo Pushing Chain with a former musical partner. For the next eight years, Pushing Chain toured the US and Canada, playing venues big and small and gaining fans the old-fashioned way — face to face, one at a time. Adam has been featured on radio and television, and played some of the biggest festivals in the country, including the 2019 Woody Guthrie Festival and the 2019 Kerrville Folk Festival.
With the onset of the 2020 pandemic, Adam set out on a solo career. The result is an ever-changing array of classic country and folk music combined with his original songs, which have been described as both witty and poignant. Backed with his custom-built tenor guitar and delivered with clear, classic country vocals, he takes audiences back to a time when telling the story was more important than selling it. As one recent audience member said, “This guy has an old soul.”
Adam believes that good music can make strangers share a table, and he tries to prove it every time he plays.
