Luke LeBlanc & Thomas Sticha at Icehouse

Join us on August 8 for a show in the Courtyard featuring Luke LeBlanc and Thomas Sticha, both accompanied by their full bands. Minneapolis-based Luke LeBlanc is known for his rootsy fusion of folk and rock, delivering performances with a nuanced touch. His latest album, Places, produced by Erik Koskinen, has drawn acclaim for its thoughtful composition and warm, organic sound. LeBlanc has earned recognition from The Current, Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and Glide Magazine, and has shared the stage with Charlie Parr, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Amythyst Kiah.

Saint Paul based singer-songwriter Thomas Sticha's music intertwines traditional country with modern folk. His debut single, “Then It’s Gone,” released in January 2024, showcases his ability to blend classic country themes with contemporary sensibilities. Sticha's full-band performances have been described as “thoroughly charming” by Adventures in Americana, appealing to fans of artists such as Tyler Childers, John Prine, and Merle Haggard. His music reflects a fresh yet familiar sound.
