Jesse Anderson Band
The Jesse Anderson Band is a 5-piece American rock, pop, and folk band from Minneapolis, MN. The band formed in 2022 from a collaboration between singer/songwriter Jesse Anderson and some highly talented local music friends (Brody Kucera, Ben Brunfelt, Bob Delage, Jake Johnson) who met from networking in the Twin Cities area.
Their unique eclectic style is catchy and compelling, filled with relatable stories and upbeat fun. Usually joyful, sometimes moody, but always interesting with positive vibes that will make you want to dance and smile. Comparisons to Dave Matthews Band, Tom Waits, Beck, and Coldplay are not far off.

Sofia Talvik Concert
Sofia Talvik is a rare artist and an avid storyteller with a voice comparable to giants like Joni Mitchell, Laurel Canyon, Judy Collins, and Buffy Sainte-Marie.
Her delicate songs show off an angelic voice enhanced only by a tasteful mix of harmonies and delays, accompanied by the steady picking of her acoustic guitar and the rhythm section consisting of her own two feet, bells, and a stomp box.
She’s an experienced international touring artist who has toured through 48 U.S. states, many Europe countries, and faraway places like New Zealand.
Her latest album “Center of the Universe” was released in 2023 and went straight into the top 20 on Folk Radio Charts USA, with the first single charting in the top 10. The album was considered for a 2023 Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album.
