Mina Moore is a singer-songwriter from Minneapolis that has already accumulated a long and fascinating musical resume. Her music draws from that of her upbringing, leaning heavily on soul, R&B, and inevitably, pop. Like so many of us, Mina’s palate is ever growing, and her live performances aim to educate as much as entertain.
MMYYKK is a Vocalist, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist, and Music Producer. His eclectic and forward thinking sound situates itself at the intersections of Soul, R&B, Jazz, Electro and Hip Hop. with soundscapes that blend analog synthesis and neck breaking rhythms with sonic alchemy. MMYYKK’s musical explorations center themselves in themes of love, humanity, healing, and higher consciousness. He is also 1/5th of the afro-futuristic producer supergroup Astralblak.
Brandi Brown is an accomplished stand up comic that has been active in the Minneapolis scene since 2002. Brandi has opened such comedians as Maria Bamford, Hannibal Buress, Nick DiPaolo, and Wendy Liebman. Her material onstage ranges from pop culture and observational humor, to more racially-charged subject matter. She has received much support from her peers which has allowed her to continue being one of the scene’s fastest-rising new faces.
