2024 MUSIC LINE UP

Minneapolis-based pop-rock band, Of The Orchard, proudly defines themselves as “not, not a boy band.” Marked by a tinge of youthful angst, Of The Orchard pairs a nostalgic sound of 90s and early 2000s rock (Third Eye Blind, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World) with narrative, sentimental lyrics (Dawes, Kacey Musgraves, Noah Kahan). This combination gives listeners thoughtful lyricism supported with upbeat, hook-driven rock. Their songs tell stories familiar to anyone who’s ever endured the transition into adulthood: finding purpose, coming to terms with identities you’ve outgrown, and falling in and out of love.

Clay Fulton & the Lost 40 are a dynamic roots rock band hailing from Rochester, MN. With a blend of gritty Americana, folk-infused melodies, and raw, heartfelt lyrics, they capture the ups and downs of life, love and loss through genuine storytelling with hope for things to come. Their sound is a fusion of influences spanning generations, echoing the timeless spirit of classic rock, and the clever wit and vulnerability in Fulton’s lyrics and songwriting reminiscent of the Old Town school of folk music. From foot-stomping anthems to introspective ballads, The Lost 40 deliver an authentic music experience that resonates with audiences of all ages, and keep you coming back for more.

Maygen & The Birdwatcher’s music is Americana that isn’t afraid to embrace eclecticism, but it’s also firmly rooted in folk and country. It’s a hyphenated hybrid that can come only from a seasoned—and tightly knit—band. It leaves music fans wanting to hear more as Maygen & The Birdwatcher leap forward this year, and take their original music to the next level. With two different lead singers and an ensemble of six multi-talented band members, Maygen & The Birdwatcher push the boundaries of their songwriting and musical arrangements.
