Baharat | Live Music in the Yard

Multicultural post-rock group Baharat is composed of vocalist Lyla Abukhodair, guitarists Emanuel Eisele and Marshall Dillon, bassist Jackson Engstrom, and drummer Rob Runnels. Having deep roots throughout the Duluth music scene, each musician brings their own unique flavor to the namesake Middle Eastern spice mix, which reflects Abukhodair’s Palestinian heritage. Since the release of their singles in 2024, following their Trampled by Turtles Palomino Grant, the band has been marinating on new material and is ready to slap it on the grill in front of everyone. Drawing influence from Midwest emo, folk, and punk, there is something to satiate every palate.
