PK Mayo Duo
Three decades plus musician PK Mayo (Paul K. Mayasich) holds his rightful place in both the Minnesota Blues Hall of Fame and the Minnesota Rock & Country Hall of Fame. He is noted guitarist both on acoustic and electric slide, having been inspired at an early age from Duane Allman’s solo on “Statesboro Blues.” That inspiration has carried him to stages worldwide as he continues to gig (in non-pandemic times) at a rate of 200+ shows a year. This record is special – and perhaps his career best – thanks to Mayo’s focus on songwriting. He claims to have invested much time writing these songs because, he said “In the past, I tended to use the lyrics as a bridge between solos.” He insists this a no-frills album commensurate with its title: “Two guitars, bass and drums recorded in one room for most of the record.” His band is bassist John Wright, guitarist/mandolinist Steve Lehto, and drummer Noah Levy. He opens with the autobiographical “Blues and Me,” trading guitar licks with Lehto, and delivering several cutting lines. “You Don’t Know Jack” is an ebb and flow instrumental where guitars sound like keyboards and the major lead that comes two minutes in is phrased like a horn solo. “Levee of Lies” features the mandolin and has a true roots feel, a swaying groove, and harmony vocals from Lehto and Levy, making it one of the standout tracks. About 60% through, as if to make one contemplate the line “how does it feel?” the music almost comes to a standstill before the slide guitars build to a dramatic close. A heavy, insistent beat propels the potent “It Ain’t Workin’ for Me No More” which has more than its share of explosive, angst-driven guitar work. “Truth” rumbles in with train-like riffs and takes on a slash-and-burn North Mississippi Hill Country vibe with the slide sharp enough to cut through a thick board. Requisite calm follows in the resonator-infused, country blues of “Road of Love” while “Somewhere Between You and I” stays in similar vein, imbued by the combination of resonator, mandolin and harmony vocals, another standout. “Solace” closes out a string of three primarily acoustic, well-crafted songs, as if the album, a mere eight songs, has two distinct halves – Mayo’s fiery, electric side, and the second half revealing his songsmith side. Spend a little more than a half hour with this blues master. He’s the real deal. A triple threat, as they say.

He received a 4-star review from the UK’s “Uncut” magazine for his 2007 album “Turning.” He has released 17 critically acclaimed albums, including his latest, 2022’s “Seriously," which many critics and fans have praised as his finest record yet.

Thunderheads Duo
A rich and tasty blend of Rock, Americana and Blues influenced songs about life, love and living in an age when time flies by at hyper-speed. Inspired by some of the great album rock from the 70’s to the 2000’s, some say we sound like The Allman Brothers, Neil Young, The Band and Little Feat or The Eagles, Grateful Dead, Mark Knopfler and Son Volt. Listen to our music and decide for yourself. With crisp vocal harmonies, superbly crafted songs and epic lead and slide guitar passages, Thunderheads create a unique sound that “seems to suggest Southern Rock meets Sting”, according to a review of Thunderheads’ music. In 1984 Craig Paquette and Steve Blexrud had a conversation at a Pat Metheny concert leading to a 35 year music collaboration that became "Thunderheads" and continues strong today. Through the years Thunderheads have recorded two original studio and one live cover album. They've performed well over 1000 live shows together at nearly every major music venue in the Twin Cities area and beyond including headline shows at First Avenue for Thunderheads 20th anniversary celebration and their "Can't Stop Time" album release show. Their current lineup consists of Steve Blexrud on lead guitar and vocals, Craig Paquette on rhythm and slide guitar and vocals, Blake Tanberk on bass, Jim Ryberg on keyboards and Bill Boyce on drums. Thunderheads often perform with additional musical guests adding keyboards, steel guitar and vocalists.

Mike Bustin
Mike Bustin has been performing as a professional musician in the midwest and southeast for over a decade. He performs on average about 225-250 shows a year. Mike has the ability to cater his performances to just about any clientele because of his vast song list, and the ability to read and understand a crowd. "I'd say the compliment I get that makes me the happiest is when someone says they love how I jump around from genre to genre, and decade to decade." It isn't out of the ordinary for Mike to jump from a 70's singer-songwriter song, to a popular pop song on the radio today, to a 90's country song, to a 50's classic, then a TV theme song. "I really do try and make every show special. I not only want the guests to enjoy it, but also the staff of the venues I play. They're the ones that are forced to listen. So I try my best to keep every gig fresh." That's also why Mike's song list has grown to over 1,500 songs.

Shalo Lee and the Northern Southern
Shalo Lee and the Northern Southern!
The band was powerful right out of the gate. Now it is absolutely off the hook. With Brad McLemore's brilliant, authentic Texan guitar and vocals, Ben's intuitive, dynamic, technically flawless drumming, Nick's soulful, polished, rock solid bass, and Joe Savage's heartbreaking pedal steel, lap steel, and harmonica solos, I could not ask for more in a band. To put it bluntly I hand picked and won the band lottery when they all said yes to this project, and I thank God every day to get to work with these gentlemen. They are incredible, both as musicians and people.
Don't just take my word for it though, come hear us for yourselves.
