\\ Muskie Waters Music Stage ~ under the water tower
No Admission Fee - FREE Live Music - Beer Garden and Concessions
FRIDAY, JULY 19
4:30 pm Hiahli: Hiahli is a live hip-hop band that plays rock n roll instruments. In addition to the usual fatback rhythms, you may hear some undercurrents of outlaw country, disco, and funk. The group weaves a tapestry of sound taking the listener through grungy, boom bap beats that inspire good times. And, always, a trip to the moon.
6pm Pretendians: Pretendians Band is a Native American rock band that calls Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota home. Formed in 2014, the group has made a name for themselves by infusing their music with a modern indigenous perspective, crafting a dynamic and energy-fueled brand of conscious rock music. Despite the name of the band, Pretendians Band is not pretending anything. Most of the band represent the Oceti Ŝakowiŋ (7 Council Fires) of the Dakhota/Lakhota Nation, hailing from Standing Rock, Rosebud, and Crow Creek tribes. Pretendians Band draws inspiration from a wide range of rock influences and has crafted their unique brand of rock music by joining it with indigenous-centric lyrics, told from a modern Indigenous perspective.
7:30 pm New Salty Dog: Salty Dog is an exciting new band from Duluth Minnesota founded by the Mahon brothers, Jacob & Owen. Owen only eats apples & Jacob lives in a boot. Luckily the brothers met Calzone who plays a wicked electric Bass Guitar. Lefty, who slapa da Conga. Sam Deters who sings on the electric guitar. And Gavin G-man St. Claire who can play two Keyboards very well at the same time while singing! Damn G-man how you do that?
9 pm Forefeathers: A four piece music powerhouse of funk, rock and soul based out of Fargo. These four friends blend their influence and love of a wide variety of music including Jam, Funk, Rock, Psychedelic, & Americana. Apart from playing primarily original music, the band has also done several tribute shows to Neil Young, Tom Petty, Sly and the Family Stone, Sublime and even Rage Against The Machine.
11 pm: Brother Jon Band: Rooted in Classic Rock and blues, the band has a style all of our own. Promoting their first release Open Jam, the band is getting some recognition with the song Bobby’s Blues, currently on multiple stations across the US and followed up by the song Dog getting some good airtime as well. The band keeps getting better and moving through the trenches...playing locally, regionally and nationally at clubs and festivals. Most notably Lowertown Blues Festival, St Paul MN. Homegrown Festival, Duluth MN. Northwoods Blues Festival, Chippewa Falls WI. The Red Gorilla Festival in Austin Texas, and South by Southwest festival.

community since 2008, growing in capacity and strength each year. We are one of four native Anishinaabe community radio stations in our region, but we are unique in that we are the only one
independent of tribal government and control. As an independent community radio station our
volunteers are the heart of KKWE Nijjii radio, providing professional skills, time, energy and
personal commitment to all facets of KKWE operation. There are two things that differentiate
traditional community radio from public radio - our community access and our volunteers. At
KKWE volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. Volunteers participate in every aspect of
operations and we would not be what we are without them! The White Earth Land Recovery Project (WELRP) is a federal 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization and currently holds the license of NIIJII Broadcasting. WELRP founded in 1989nis a multi issue, non-profit, Native American organization based on the White Earth Indian Reservation in Callaway MN.

Blending musical sophistication with high energy 90s rock sensibilities, the Bees win over crowds with their catalogue of hooky original tunes as well as third wave/reggae/pop rock classic covers.
8 pm Hooligan Fire: Caliab Heiderich ( Fire Performer) is Hooligan Fire. A man of many talents, fire spinning is one of them. Not many words to describe his performance it is a show you have to come see for yourself!

He is also a songwriter, music arranger, audio engineer, video editor, video game designer, computer programmer, game show host, and the guy his parents call to fix their computer.
11 pm Jon Wayne and the Pain: Powered by a lineup of heartbreaking reggae ballads illustrating how our most precious growth often blooms from pain, combined with a handful of beat thumping tracks, Jon Wayne and the Pain’s 5th studio album "Growth Lines" will surely be on your must have list after hearing them perform live. This band’s unique ability to write songs will tug at our heartstrings while keeping your feet moving.
