$15 in advance $20 at the door

Mainstays of the Minneapolis music scene since 2008, Farewell Milwaukee embraces the way each of their Midwestern hometowns have shaped them artistically. Through honest lyrical vignettes of the people and landscapes of the Midwest, lush vocal harmonies, and affable sincerity at live shows, the band has garnered a solid local and national fanbase. They have gathered accolades from notable press outlets, landed song placements on major-networks TV, opened for the Lumineers (among others), and been featured on compilations alongside Mumford & Sons, Adele and Amos Lee.

Mixing up an unlikely concoction of vintage rock & roll and outlaw country, Cole Diamond is, depending on when you ask, either the stage name for singer/songwriter Ryan Otte or the collective handle for Otte and his Band. For years Otte spent most weekends behind a drum kit playing with too many bands to list. In the few years since “Cole Diamond” was conceived he has released an EP, received airplay on 89.3 The Current, and opened for national acts such as Corb Lund. Drawing on influences that range from Waylon Jennings and Doug Sahm to Roky Ericson and Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cole Diamond delivers a modern take on a classic sound.
