Willow Creek Brothers, Poolboy, Blue Red Roses, & Gladden at Turf Club

Willow Creek Brothers are co-fronted by Colin Loynachan and Ben Ronning. The pair has been making music together for over a decade and decided to focus on shared, early musical influences for this alternative country project. Although their songwriting is personal and reflective, Willow Creek Brothers provide a raucous and memorable live experience, featuring familiar faces from the Twin Cities music scene as their backing band. Willow Creek Brothers released their sophomore album, I've Been Doing Everything Wrong, in March of 2023.

Poolboy is an indie rock band from Minneapolis. They formed in 2015 and released their self-produced EP in February of 2016, which Andrea Swenson of The Current called, "An impressive debut." In 2017, they were named City Pages' Best New Band. Their newest five song EP, Good Orchard, was released in 2021 and represents a course change for the group that explores themes of existential fatigue, intimacy, and personal growth through dynamic lyricism placed within a vibrant and melodic soundscape. Good Orchard was engineered, produced, and mixed by Con Davison (Wingman, Bad Bad Hats) and mastered by Huntley Miller (Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso).
