But he hasn’t moved to LA or Nashville; he’s stayed in the cold grey north of Minnesota, because that’s his home.

9 pm - Saltydog:  Saltydog is a funk jam Improvisational exploration that takes the
audience & band on a journey through their playfully crafted folk driven tunes inspired by the likes of everyone from The Talking Heads, The Band, those classic country and jam band staples along with everyone in between.  The band spawned on the banks of Duluth’s ice-covered stones by brothers Jacob and Owen Mahon. This midwestern psychedelic cowboy review features Calvin (Calzone) Lund, Lefty Johnson, Gavin St. Clair, and Sam Deters.

The band has been known as differently original, very funky, and unpredictable in a delightful, soulful manner. There is something for everyone at a Saltydog show. You are beautiful, you are welcome, you will groove, we will vibe. We are Saltydog.

11 pm  Troubador:  Formed in 2010, Troubadour has steadily earned its reputation as one of the Midwest’s premier live country acts. Fusing the spirit of polished classic country with the grit of ‘90s honky-tonk and the edge of modern country sounds, Troubadour delivers an electrifying live experience that keeps dance floors packed and festival crowds coming back for more. The band is anchored by four seasoned musicians who each bring decades of performance experience and authentic country soul to the stage:  Romyn Hanks – Lead guitar and vocals, Rick Schroeder – Steel guitar, guitar, and vocals, Rock Menge – Bass guitar and vocals, and Jesse Schmidt – Drums and vocals These four artists aren’t just bandmates—they’re road warriors who’ve lived the country music life from the inside out. From dusty dancehalls and roadside honky-tonks to county fairs and packed festival grounds, Troubadour has traveled the highways of America, making memories with every crowd and leaving a trail of high-energy shows behind them. Whether you’re two-stepping under the stars or raising a longneck in your hometown bar, Troubadour’s blend of tight harmonies, powerful musicianship, and undeniable stage presence makes every show feel like Saturday night at its best. Their sound pays homage to country legends while forging a path all their own—a true reflection of the genre’s past, present, and future.
