Day 8 of the Homegrown Music Festival is for Brunch and Recovery, with pajamas the recommended attire. Many patrons at Canal Park Brewing happily wore their PJs to take in the last three bands of the festival.

First up, Zeb or Zeke and the Runaway Screamings (which, full disclosure, is the project of the North's Luke Moravec), raised a surprising amount of ruckus for just one guy, simultaneously playing guitar, drums, and keyboards.

Next up, Ponyfolk performed folk soundscapes that ebbed and flowed, taking the rapt audience along for the ride.

Austin Castle was originally scheduled to perform at Canal Park Brewing, but got pulled up to the Homegrown big leagues when NVR TGTHR had to drop out of their show at the DECC due to illness back on Tuesday. Punkabilly duo Nevins ably filled the slot to close out the 2025 Duluth Homegrown Music Festival.
