Whiplash, Casablanca, Austin Powers, and even A Charlie Brown Christmas are all examples of the deep history of big band jazz showing up in film, and also share the distinction of being movies we're playing tunes from in the Duluth Community Jazz Band's winter concert.

DCJB is made up of passionate, talented community musicians who are your friends, neighbors, and coworkers that want to play high level music but not as a profession. Don't let the word "community" fool you - this band can really swing.

This concert was made possible by a generous grant from The Depot Foundation, and is free of admission asking only for a charitable donation to support community music if you are able.

Old-tyme country, acoustic three-piece Junkyard Mule plays original songs and classic covers about drifting, drinking and long-lost love. The band’s music sounds like it was made in the back room of a crossroads general store sometime around 1950. After hours. With a little homemade hooch to lighten the load. Junkyard Mule hasn’t released any work yet, but when it does it should be on both Spotify and shellac. The supergroup features vocalist and guitar/mandolin player Nate Hynum, bassist Jennifer Krussow and fiddle ace Clancy Ward.

“Misisipi” Mike Wolf is a traditional folk and country singer/songwriter who performs both solo and in enough bands to fill a summer music festival lineup. He writes songs with the same heart and humor as greats like John Prine, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. Wolf recently won first place in the Duluth Dylan Fest songwriters contest and holds down weekly residencies throughout the Twin Ports, most recently at the Cedar Lounge. His local band projects include Boxcar, Neatneatneat, Actual Wolf, Crooked Mile and Eldri Snow’s Wintry Mix.

Brought together by the Bluegrass jams flurried throughout the Duluth hillside, the Lake Effect String Band is “grounded in the rich traditions of delicious, upbeat picking styles.” Drifting from Flatts, Scruggs, and Doc Watson classics to new grass acts such as Hot Rize, Sam Bush and David Grisman, Lake Effect piles up tunes for lovers of string music.
