Climes
Climes is a musical collaboration among five seasoned, Minnesota-based artists: Drew (songwriter, vocals, lute dulcimer), Clif Nesseth (fiddle, flute, guitar), Rebecca Alsum (cello), Steve Dalager (acoustic bass and vocals) and Zack Baltich (percussion). Climes showcases an Americana sound that bends and blends folk, rock and bluegrass. Lyrically, the songs are bound up in the issues of the day and the sentiments of musicians who seek a more just and inclusive world. We'll let the songs say the rest.

ELOUR
(pronounced "allure") is what Elizabeth Ghandour categorizes as Femme Rock. Elizabeth’s direct lyrics, diverse background and classically trained voice, backed by master players including Ned Barclay on lead guitar, Anita Cracauer on keys, Joe Scarpellino on bass, Ryan Vee on drums, and Brody Kucera on percussion, pushes sonic boundaries for a raucous, rebellious, and yet very stylish sound that is simultaneously new yet familiar, and terrifically energizing.

The Desire Store
Minneapolis-Duluth band The Desire Store draws on the 25-year songwriting repertoire of Eddy Burke (vocals/guitar) featuring violin by his wife Laura Burke and saxophone by Jason Keppe; Jason and Laura alternate on the bass and cajon to hold down the rhythm section. Eddy’s background in the folk singer-songwriter scene, Jason’s foundation in multiple jazz ensembles and Laura’s orchestral upbringing meld to form an eclectic, versatile, genre-bending sound with three-part harmonies and plenty of sax for dancing.
