Sleeping Jesus | Live Music in The Yard!

Minnesota rock and roll band, putting their own spin on Americana. Blending their favorite elements of modern indie rock with the dusty sounds of your dad’s old record collection. At nearly 10 years as a band, the group has become experts at genre-hopping. Their newest record “Shotgun” is a true testament to that. The album is full of rock and roll and whimsy. Like the scatter of shotgun, on their third and fully self-produced record, Sleeping Jesus spreads themselves across multiple genres, from steel guitar filled shitt-kickin’ country, 70s reminiscent folk, and bouncy harmony filled indie rock.

Midnight Kissfight & Ferrari Fast

Midnight Kissfight is an indie rock band from Duluth trying to make it sound like 2005 again. Liana Sweezer, Jesse Hoheisel, Ryan Nelson, and Kaylee Matuszak. Ferrari Fast grew up listening to too much Buddy Holly and ’90s alt-rock in a once-thriving copper mining town. They are endlessly searching for a love song in every adventure, bar crawl, and fly-on-the-wall observation. Ferrari Fast opens at 7pm. Midnight Kissfight at 8pm.
