Heavy for the Hawk
Friday August 8th
Hailing from Minneapolis, Heavy for the Hawk is a six-piece band with members originating from New Jersey, Maine and here in Minnesota.
Their collective musical interests run deep, and as such they bring a dynamic mix of music to their shows. You’ll hear anything from Indie Folk/Alt/Rock, Oldies, and Americana to moving renditions of Soul and R&B. Many of the band mates write their own music, so you’ll likely hear some originals as well.
Heavy for the Hawk is always looking to include songs that are laid to the wayside by mainstream radio. They love dusting off nostalgic favorites that you’ve maybe forgotten about, and also mixing in some music from today’s talented songwriters too, making it a show anyone can enjoy.
Featuring harmonies from their two vocalists (who happen to be a duo out in the real world too), they aim to bring the listener along with them as they move through songs.
Come to a show, and you just might discover some new music to soothe your soul!

Show Me Your Hits
Saturday October 11th
Show Me Your Hits derives itself from a group of musicians based in the Minneapolis Metal Scene. After many long years of touring and performing, their idea of longevity began to change. They met one night at a Minneapolis bar and created a musical vision that would captivate their millennial peers while providing the entertainment that their parents could tolerate….and Show Me Your Hits was born. From a wide range of ideas and in just a short amount of time, a massive catalog of songs was created: 80's classics like Van Halen, Poison, and Def Leppard, Pop-Punk/Emo throwbacks like Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance, and Top 40 hits like The Killers, Shania Twain, and Bruno Mars, along with so much more. At the heart of the band is their passion to deliver a high-energy performance that is reminiscent of their previous original bands, to give the crowd a dose of nostalgia from the songs of their past, and to keep the vibe fresh and relevant by playing anything in between the classics and modern-day hits. Show Me Your Hits is the full package and will provide you with the real band feel. Come sing along to songs you know and love while feeling like you’re seeing your favorite band on tour.
