“infectious energy and joy radiating off the stage” – Adventures in Americana
The Foxgloves are an all-women Americana/Newgrass band out of the Twin Cities. Here, they have been a vibrant part of the Midwest music scene since 2019. Their vibrant four-part harmonies share stories that feel weathered and deeply human, whether they are bright and driving, or shadowed and searching. Live, the energy shifts from song to song and never lets up, from lean-in moments to joyous, foot-stomping tunes. Moreover, their high-energy performances and musical depth have swept them onto big stages throughout the region. For example, Blue Ox Music Festival, Boats and Bluegrass, First Avenue Mainroom, and Big Top Chautauqua. Furthermore, this powerful band is making moves you’ll want to witness.
LaPlant Road is the duo of two childhood friends, Emily LaPlant and Liz Ashworth, who grew up in the tundra of Northern Minnesota. They found warmth and purpose in the music shared by the dwellers of LaPlant Road. There, it was named after early settlers who established themselves in the area a century prior. Together, Liz and Emily work to create new sounds, incorporating influence from their favorite genres. Then, they craft an audio ode to many of the best things in their childhood: music, family, and friends. Moreover, both ladies are multi-instrumentalists with a dynamic, harmonious vocal blend.
Lanue comes to us from Duluth as a project that stands firmly in front of a fresh creative backdrop. There, Sarah Krueger culled the name from the title of a poem on a thrift store shelf. Krueger continues to amplify her knack for straightforward and earnest songwriting. Also, she maintains a vocal delivery that sits like honey over layers of warm synths, guitars, and percussion. Here, Lanue builds a catalogue that puts the song at the center of the creative process.
