GOOD NIGHT GOLD DUST
As the singers and songwriters for indie rock band Good Night Gold Dust, Laura Schultz and Colin Scharf are most often swirling in a moody wash of electric guitars, synthesizers, and electronic drum beats. Some evenings, though, they emerge from those electric layers with acoustic guitars in hand, and return these songs to their origins. Drawing influences from Gillian Welch, Jason Isbell, Feist, and Bruce Springsteen, their acoustic set is equally as electrifying as their full band.

Ian Hilmer
Ian Hilmer is a veteran singer/songwriter with a smoke-stained voice and powerful story songs in the vein of Tom Petty, Tom Waits, Gordon Downie, and Greg Brown.

VILD

VILD is a musician, artist, photographer, beyond born and raised in Rochester, MN. She has been walking this earth for twenty-three years now, moving, shifting, pacing, wandering, never really sure of where she belonged or what she was meant to do. She has found her refuge in music from birth, though, a special place between time and space for her to learn, grow, love, and wander. VILD heard the Cranberries from the womb, played by her mother, fell asleep to Enya from the day she was born, also played by her mother, and went on to discover music for her own as she grew older and wiser. Some of VILD’s greatest ever-evolving list of influences include Enya to more contemporary artists such as RY X, Bastille, and CLOVES with some traces of the Beatles and beyond. However, she will insist that her inspiration stems equally from her experiences with all the different artists she has stumbled upon over the years. Admittedly, she is still discovering her sound. VILD has roots in piano, guitar, and violin and was vocally trained by William Bastian, opera singer and professor, at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. VILD is the Swedish word for wild, and it is the name she has chosen for herself. Her soul has become wild and free, for the first time in ages, and thus will be her name. Music has forever been VILD’s channel of release, whether she has been playing, listening, discovering, or writing. It has always been a part of her, heartbeat, beating, always. The deepest and darkest wanderings of her soul have become lost among the notes, the lyrics, the sounds, leaving her heart free to be. These creations, her sounds, are far beyond her own understanding. They are born to be free, free to help, free to inspire, and free to wander.

Art Heads Live Late Night: INSIDE VOICE + Brent Penny
INSIDE VOICE: We’re a band called INSIDE VOICE from Minneapolis, MN. We’re trying to work out some feelings about romance, civic duty, technology and modern social life, and being a decent human being. We make music that we might call “weird orchestral music”. We each play in other bands too: Bathtub Cig, Fiji-13, We Are The Willows and PETER M.
Brent Penny
“Brent Penny (Pennington) is a Minneapolis based queer singer-songwriter and musician. His arrangements exhibit a wide range of influences including folk, psych, pop, and experimental moments. Combining melodies informed by youthful Mormon church choir melodies with the timbre of an effeminate Neil Young, Penny has found a unique niche in a songwriting style that bridges the gaps between the many genres his music draws on.
With the versatility of someone who has played in various lo-fi and DIY bands such as Bathtub Cig and The Awful Truth combined with a background in curating nightlife spaces, Penny is a dynamic live performer who combines deadpan vulnerability with fierce honesty.”

They have shared stages with the likes of the String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, the Motet, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, The Werks, and Here Come the Mummies.
With the recent release of their “Kessel Run EP” in February, and a long list of exciting appearances in the Rocky Mountains and across the country throughout the year, 2019 promises to be a turning-point for Kessel Run and their fans.

Charlie Parr
Charlie Parr – Photo by Nate Ryan
An easily confused and very shy individual, Charlie Parr has been traveling around singing his songs ever since leaving Austin Minnesota in the 1980’s in search of Spider John Koerner, whom he found about 100 miles north at the Viking Bar one Sunday night. The experience changed his life, made him more or less unemployable, and brings us to now: 13 recordings, 250 shows a year or more, 200,000 miles on a well broke in Kia, and a nasty fear of heights. Resonator fueled folk songs from Duluth Minnesota.
