Socktopus & Between Howls

Music’s heading out to The Yard (weather permitting), so grab a drink, find a spot, and settle in! Socktopus is a 5-piece band dishing-out electrifying shows that leave you blissfully unaware of the laundry you left in the dryer. Fractalizing electro-pop-hip-hop, the Socktopus sound spans genres, served with heaps of our homemade secret sauce. Between Howls (Duluth, MN) are violinist Ren Howl & guitarist Nick Howl. The husband & wife duo’s unique blend of vocal harmonies, thoughtful lyrics and virtuosic instrumental arrangements have been drawing in audiences across the US since 2018. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll slide things indoors! No Cover | All Ages | Family Friendly
