Every first Wednesday of the month, Max Markin (Union Suits/Redwing Blackbird) hosts 3-4 songwriters on stage at the same time and they take turns playing songs for 90 min to a 2 hour set.
Mumblin’ Drew snakes between the traditional and the contemporary sounds of American folk music. Old time, jazz, or modern sounds with a midwest moan, from the simple to the sophisticated, Drew has spent years playing on street corners, in dingy basements, and between tree and shore across the country.
Abbey Janii & Mike Lee are both songwriters from South Dakota living in Minneapolis. Over the last few years, Abbey was fronting the rock band Julie Fur, while Mike was bouncing around playing his weirdo folk songs for anyone who would listen. After releasing their solo efforts “Prairie Roads” & “Pick Me Up Café,” they began work on a new project playing each other’s tunes. They’re spending the spring playing out and working in the studio as they prepare for a late summer tour of the Midwest. Their songs are influenced by a broad range of artists, and the result is twangy, folksy rock & roll out of the Heartland.
