SOPHIE HIROKO
Riding a wave of generational change in the city’s music scene, Duluth’s Sophie Hiroko began writing songs as a teenager and found an audience last summer. In the fall, she recruited bassist Ned Netzel and drummer Tommy Kishida to help transform her songs into a fully formed sound that falls into the self-described genre of “tender bubblegrunge.” Kishida is leaving the band before Homegrown, but Leif Hinkel has stepped in to take over the drums. George Ellsworth was recently added on keys. Hiroko’s lyrics reflect the experience of “coming of age in Duluth as a queer woman, and coming from a multi-cultural family,” she said.

BORN TOO LATE
Born Too Late has been offering up musical nostalgia in the Twin Ports since 2016, when siblings Traxx and Rokkyn Nelson-Kavajecz first started gigging around town as 9- and 11-year-olds. Their style is 1970s and ’80s rock and country, and their love of this music is what led to the band name. While they started out doing covers, they have since branched out into writing original music in the same vein, with Traxx playing acoustic guitar and both Nelson-Kavajecz’s producing vocal harmonies. Their second album, Terrible Twos, was released in October.

“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.

Experience a unique blend of music and camaraderie at "Climes Live: Music, Pizza & Brews at Fitger's" on Friday from 7-10 pm. Hosted in the cozy confines of Fitger's Barrel Room, this evening is set to feature the evocative music of Climes, led by Minnesota's own Drew Anderson.

Climes, a project that melds protest with the contemplation of love and loss, showcases songs as fleeting and precious as our individual lives, backed by a collaborative ensemble of local musicians and artists.

Enhance your listening experience with Fitger's finest pizzas and beers, available for purchase throughout the event. Don't miss this chance to enjoy great local music, savor tasty food and drinks, and connect with the community in a historic setting. Join us for a night where every note and flavor promises to be a memory in the making.

Corey now produces full-time music with his band known as "The Brothers", hence Corey Medina & Brothers. Corey calls who he trusts “brother”, and the band's dynamics on and off stage attributed to that. The Brothers band consists of Eric Sundeen of Bemidji, MN on Drums and Gary Broste also from Bemidji, on upright bass.

After 3 years of talking about a full-length studio album, in 2019 Corey and The Brothers released their debut album, Better Days.
