About the Artists

5:30 PM Opener - Sheep for Wheat
 
Wayward children of the driftless playing above average Rock n’ Roll - with an emphasis on the Roll. After over-hearing a concert goer once describe their music as “Midwest Surf” they have since adopted this as their unofficial genre category; more so their music has influences of classic rock, bluegrass, blues, jam, among others. 
 
With a songwriting style that balances the complexities of nostalgia with a straightforward celebration of joy, Sheep for Wheat is the old friend at the neighborhood bar who you are glad to see.


6:30 PM Headliner - LOREWEAVERS

Minneapolis-based Loreweavers focus their efforts on bringing tavern and fantasy soundtracks to a wider audience. Inspired by the music represented in games such as The Witcher and Skyrim, as well as traditional Irish tunes and sea shanties, Loreweavers seek to immerse their audience in a world of wonder and adventure.

Showcasing a wide variety of musical talents ranging from traditional Irish instruments such as uilleann pipes and bodhrán to guitar, accordion, and mandolin, Loreweavers are sure to grab the attention of any crowd and pull them in to ensure an experience they'll never forget!
