MOLLY BRANDT

Named 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Midwest Country Music Awards, and with her powerful vocals, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable performances, Molly Brandt is making waves in the independent music scene. Drawing inspiration from songwriting legends, her songs weave tales of heartache, resilience and triumph, delving into blue-collar struggles, dive bar revelries, long car rides, and cold-blooded revenge. Brandt captivates audiences with her fiery delivery, memorable attire and evocative lyrics as she showcases powerful vocals, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable performances.. Her 2023 debut album, Surrender to the Night, blends honky-tonk, countrypolitan and alt-rock influences. She returned to the studio in early 2024, exploring an even broader range of roots music. The result is her sophomore album, “American Saga”, telling epic character and place-based stories taking place in the American landscape.

LAAMAR

LAAMAR is the latest project led by Minneapolis-based singer, songwriter, saxophonist, and composer Geoffrey Lamar Wilson. Former frontman of Brooklyn-based Jus Post Bellum, Wilson is also known for his multilayered looped saxophone performances and catchy podcast ditties (Terrible, Thanks for Asking). After unexpectedly bursting onto the scene in 2023 with his debut single “Home to My Baby,” LAAMAR has had a steady stream of in-demand performances and radio play across Minnesota. His engaging, humorous, and often intensely hushed solo performances led to opening slots for notable touring artists including Arlo Parks, Durand Jones, Dan Wilson, and Sunny War. Flowers blends Wilson’s idiomatic inspirations, bridging folk, soul, R&B, and country, with an ear toward racial and social justice issues and the shared human experience. Backed by his dynamic and sharp-eared band, which can evolve to include saxophone, cello, and a rotating cast of guest vocalists, LAAMAR puts on a live show that is at once known to get folks dancing while alternatively leaving them in tears.
