This may include but is not limited to: professional recording opportunities\, vinyl pressing\, transportation needs\, theft replacement or merch. \n\n\n \n\n\nGrant recipients will be determined by a revolving panel of respected Minnesota musicians.  One grant to be made in memory of Ed Ackerson and one in the name of Paul Engebretson.  Musicians helping musicians.\n\n\n=============\n\n\nThe Suburbs are closin g in on fifty years and have continued to evolve and create up to the present. From Jay’s Longhorn to stirring up the foam on the new wave\, the Suburbs continue to bring the dance to the party.  The Twin Cities has produced more than its share of highly influential rock and roll bands. The Suburbs are counted as royalty. \n\n\n—\n\n\nScott Holt hails fro m Columbus\, TN and his guitar has taken him all over the world and to its most iconic venues. Beginning his career as Buddy Guy’s side man\, Holt spent many years touring and recording under his own name.  For the past three he has fronted the iconic blues rock band Foghat. Scott will be joined on stage by his friends The Shackletons and will host an evening ending jam session with festival participants. Scott Holt of Foghat.\n\n\n—\n\n\nThe Melismatics are the long t ime project of husband and wife team Ryan and Pony Smith (Soul Asylum/Mood Swings).  While much of their work has been featured on TV and film\, it’s as a live band that they truly shine. When this band plays\, other artists come to the show! \n\n\n—\n\n\nSleeping Jesus is the brain  child of indie rocker Nick Elstad. Hailing from Winona\, MN the band and name are synonymous with Midwest Music Fest. \n\n\n—\n\n\nOister Boy is about  as quintessential punk as Minnesota gets. It is what it is but it’s also\, dare we say? Nice. If punk should be anything\, it should be an unblinking reflection of where the band comes from. Oister Boy is us. \n\n\n—\n\n\nDevon Worley Band might be country . And it might be straight up rock and roll.  Doesn’t matter.  What matters is this is a road worn band that brings the heat. \n\n\n—\n\n\nLoki’s Folly. Speaking o f punk\, this is where it starts. Don’t let the ages fool you! This 3 piece sibling wrecking ball has been going since they were single digits.  Along the way\, they’ve been mentored by a Who’s Who of local heavyweight artists who saw something special. \n\n\n—\n\n\nThe Shackletons are the second  family band on the bill and are hosts for the day’s festivities. \n\n\n—\n\n\nYonder lays  claim to being one of the buzziest of the basement scene bands in the Twin Cities. They might claim to be a local band but they came together from one end of the state to the other\, each with some serious band pedigree. \n\n\n—\n\n\nProducts Band may call the mselves New-No Wave but most people simply know them as a guitar drenched rock band mixing cynicism and brains.  URL:https://noboolpresents.com/event/front-row-project-festival/ LOCATION:The Hook and Ladder Theater\, 3010 Minnehaha Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55406\, United States CATEGORIES:Hook & Ladder Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noboolpresents.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/FRP-Cover-Updated.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250906T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250907T010000 DTSTAMP:20260726T064013 CREATED:20250731T181047Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250731T181047Z UID:4058-1757196000-1757206800@noboolpresents.com SUMMARY:MILKSHAKE: 2000s hip hop\, R&B\, and pop DANCE PARTY DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n RSVP ON FACEBOOK\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \nJames Ballentine “Uptown” VFW Post 246 \n\nDoors 10pm :: Music 10pm :: 21+\nGA: $10 Box-Office / $12.16 Online / $15 Door\n\nBOX-OFFICE Tickets Are Available at Uptown VFW Box-Office (Open During Shows) & The Zen Arcade (Open During Hours of Operation.)

\nwith guest Hell County Truckers\n\nDavid and Howard Bellamy\, collectively known as The Bellamy Brothers\, are multi-award winning recording artists and performers spanning genres from pop and blues to gospel. They have collaborated with artists including Freddy Fender\, Alan Jackson\, Jimmy Buffett\, and Dolly Parton.\n \nThey arrived on the national music scene in 1974\, when fellow Florida Artists Hall of Fame member Jim Stafford recorded and co-wrote “Spiders and Snakes” with David Bellamy. “Spiders and Snakes” hit number three on the Billboard charts\, and The Bellamy Brothers signed with Curb records in 1976. Later that same year\, “Let Your Love Flow” hit number one in the United States pop charts as well as in more than a dozen countries.\n \nThey soon moved towards the country music genre and “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It against Me” became the first of twenty number one hit country singles in the years to follow\, along with more than fifty hits overall on the charts. Their international releases include more than 95 albums.\n \nPerhaps the first of the now-common Country Duo genre acts\, The Bellamy Brothers received Grammy nominations for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Country and Western Song in 1980. Named Top Country Duo in 1982 by Billboard\, they also have more nominations in the duo category from the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association than any other artists\, inspiring and paving the way for artists such as Brooks and Dunn\, Montgomery Gentry and The Judds.\n\n—\nFor questions\, email us at medina@medinaentertainment.com or call us at 763-478-6661.Ticket price does not include a facility fee\, sales tax or service fees.All dates\, prices\, times and bands are subject to change.

Subverting the traditional idea of “locker room talk\,” this anthology illuminates the conversations women share with family\, friends\, and strangers\, whether at the sinks of a nightclub ladies’ room\, on a bus heading to the Women’s March\, or in the kitchen of an elder relative. Together\, they reveal the myriad ways women care for themselves\, each other\, their communities\, and our world. Join us for a night of literature\, music\, and celebration. Copies of Locker Room Talk will be available for purchase.\n— \nKith + Kin Chorus is an uncommon community choir in the Twin Cities\, open to singers of all skill levels\, and 70+ singers strong. If you can match a pitch and carry a tune\, you can join! Voices are the original instrument andfew things are more unifying than voices\, raised together in song. And in a world that so easily divides and isolates\, singing in diverse community is its own act of rebellion and reimagining.\n—\nWhispered the Rabbit blends progressive folk\, rock and punk to take you on a lore-inspired journey through secret gardens\, cosmic storms and historic dance battles.\n \nWtR creates its tone poems out of a mutual love for storytelling. After a year of adventures\, their first album “Vol.I” was released digitally and on vinyl in Sept 2023\, chased by a montage of incredibly fun shows and a second tour in Ireland + the UK in 2024. \n\n—\nVol. II is WtR’s focus for 2025\, crafting new tones and character into a landscape of timeless themes woven together by folklore and nature.

Max Morkri’s blend of solid grooving and intricate drum chops and Jory Carlin’s powerful bass lines glue the band together. Carl Hipenbecker (trumpet/synth/vocals) and Brandon Jensen (keys/synth) offer a diverse range of skills to make each tune fresh and unique.

The Texas-born\, Nashville-based alt-rocker\, singer\, and multi-instrumentalist has tackled a slew of personal demons—many of which turned up on his catharsis-packed debut EP\, 2023’s Crying In The Shower—in order to come out on the other side\, stronger than ever. \n\n \nThe prolific artist’s latest batch of songs\, which he is constantly churning out as a therapeutic way to process daily life\, are upbeat\, hook-packed anthems that invite audiences to shout along in unison. \n\n \n“I think I’m at the end of writing about my problems\,” Coddington muses. “I’ve been putting myself through emotional music therapy for three years now\, and it’s working. I’m finally looking back and laughing for the first time. I consider it the upswing of the depression. I’m about to enter this whole new phase in my life. Everything feels new again for the first time.” \n\n \nEver since he first began releasing music in 2020\, Letdown.
