For over two decades, Maryland-born musician George Ellsworth has been a staple of the Northern Minnesota music scene wearing many hats and spreading his experiences and influences far and wide. As an in-demand bassist and keyboardist he’s performed and recorded with a myriad of beloved Twin Ports acts, from James And Younger to The Brushstrokes to Todd Eckart to Snöbarn to Woodblind. As a songwriter and composer he’s contributed songs and scores to two independent films and works for local theater.

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.

“Dollhaus returns for its 4th show. Friday, June 20th at the Main Club in Superior. Dollhaus is a multifaceted event, featuring a wearable art runway show, aerial artists, and performances by “Sadkin”, and Minneaplois two piece “Darkling I Listen.”
Dance party by DJ Soxx

The theme for the show is “Not of this Earth.”

In a word where the unfamiliar is intolerable, Dollhaus invites guests to dive in to the mysterious and unknown.

Though difficult to try and put their sound into words, some have called it avant-garde blues rock, though basically it is really just good-ol' rock n' roll with a very personal and strange twist of bluesy tastes.
