Catch Superior Seafood Boils out on the fest field every other Friday night for a Cajun boil from a small, family-run catering business owned by Joey, Amy, and our son Ryder. What started as Joey’s love for New Orleans turned into a mission: to bring the taste, fun, and spirit of an authentic Louisiana seafood boil up north.
Joey has always had a passion for throwing a good party and cooking up incredible seafood. Around here, he’s known as the “Ragin’ Northern Cajun” – part chef, part entertainer, and all heart. When you book us, you’re not just getting the best seafood this side of the Mississippi. You’re getting a true New Orleans–style experience: big flavors, big laughs, and memories that stick around long after the last crab leg is gone.

Reaping Asmodeia is set to bring their devastatingly heavy live performance to the Earth Rider Brewery Festival Field. Hailing from Minneapolis, this technical deathcore outfit is highly regarded for blending blistering, high-speed guitar work with crushing breakdowns and deep conceptual storytelling.Known for complex time signatures, chaotic energy, and a punishing vocal attack, the group flawlessly translates their progressive studio arrangements into an intense, high-octane stage experience. Do not miss the chance to catch them headlining an outdoor evening of extreme metal on the Earth Rider Fest Grounds alongside regional heavyweights.
Torment MN is a five-piece beatdown deathcore band from the lakeside city of Duluth, Minnesota. Formed in 2017, the group has spent nearly a decade carving out a distinct space in the Midwest heavy music scene. They are widely recognized for their crushing sonic delivery and chaotic, high-energy live performances.The band expertly fuses the relentless tempo changes of traditional hardcore beatdown with the technical severity of modern death metal and deathcore. This signature sound relies on heavily down-tuned guitars, guttural vocal performances, and dense, rhythmic breakdowns designed to move crowds. Lyrically, their music confronts grim, raw themes of intense personal struggle, mental anguish, and bleak societal realism.

Dan Scott and the Banjo Express featuring Ed Willett is what happens when three musical renegades collide — a trio forged from decades of grit, genius, and just enough chaos to keep every audience on edge. Together, these three create a musical experience that’s equal parts tradition and rebellion. Their sound blends bluegrass grit, outlaw energy, and a fearless streak of experimentation. Every show feels like a backwoods revival crossed with a roadside carnival — unpredictable, electric, and impossible to forget.
They’re not here to fit into a genre box. They’re here to blow the box apart.
