There are a lot of bands performing and releasing music to the masses – there are not many that can bring a feeling of pure soul. Jon Sullivan Band is a group that can. The band is an ensemble including soulful guitar, sultry keyboards, driving bass, and a booming rhythm section. Their music blooms from origins in soul, funk, rock and blues, unlocking feelings of nostalgia while also being something that stands in its own realm. Led by the powerful, yet silky voice of Jon Sullivan, this band paints a picture through each song that is drenched in emotion, sprawling with funky melodies and leaves you with a feeling that you have traveled somewhere majestic.

Based out of Minneapolis, Mikel Wright & The Wrongs have hosted memorable nights of music for over a decade. The band’s style has grown into their own, while embodying the sounds of their strongest influences. Deeply rooted in the swag of Motown artists, Minneapolis Funk, Cajun rhythms, and Folk song writers, MWTW brilliantly transcend genres in every set.

Their rhythms may be a little bossy. Their drummers commanded me to feel Saucy. Another Duluth band that can hold a groove. The Bass lines funk and the bootys move. Some songs tell stories and others tell moods. They sing about friends and they sing about foods. With Improvisations both jarring and dreamy, one guitar clucks and the other ones creamy. Looking for a band to follow outta the fog? Well look no further than New Salty Dog.
