From high-octane anthems to crowd-favorite covers, Smokescreen is built to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed.

If you’re looking for a band that brings technical skill and raw fun in equal measure, Smokescreen is the gold standard."

Jenna Graves and the Loons

Jenna Graves & The Loons are a premier, dynamic Twin Cities outfit delivering a high-energy blend of pop, rock, and alternative hits. Fronted by the soulful and captivating vocals of singer-songwriter Jenna Graves, this Minneapolis-based band seamlessly weaves infectious original music with crowd-pleasing, foot-stomping covers. Known for their tight instrumentation and infectious onstage chemistry, they have quickly become a staple of the Minnesota music scene, regularly packing out popular regional hotspots and major outdoor venues.
 

When they want to get a crowd moving, they pull from a diverse well of classic and contemporary influences, frequently paying homage to:

• The standard-bearers of heartland and indie rock (think the driving hooks of bands like The Killers or Fleetwood Mac).

• Roots and Americana icons whose vocal-heavy styles match Graves's impressive range (reminiscent of Brandie Carlile or Grace Potter covers).

• Crowd-pleasing ’90s and 2000s alt-pop staples that effortlessly transition into a rustic, acoustic-rock format (Adele, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne and Rihanna)

Becky Rae Dalton Band

Minneapolis singer/songwriter Becky Rae Dalton has gracefully emerged onto the Twin Cities music scene connecting with audiences through her powerful vocals, catchy lyrics, and authentic performances. After 16 years of writing and performing music, Becky Rae finishes a three year journey of creating her debut album Ready or Not. The indie/folk/country album is available on iTunes and Amazon.

Ready or Not brings you on a journey of truth, forgiveness, and love.  “Love Him All The Same” begins the album in a true country storytelling style that leads toward a beautiful acceptance. The upbeat, encouraging title track “Ready or Not”, awakens the inner child and energizes the soul while the combination of bluesy guitar and Becky Rae’s ethereal vocals, float you away on the eerie backwaters of “Sunny Day”.  The tempo picks up on “A Little Longer” leaving you energized with the whirlwind of a new love.  Finally, “Ol’ Mississippi” wistfully reminisces on letting that love go.  Becky Rae’s style can be likened to Lissie, Brandi Carlile, and Joni Mitchell. Ready or Not will leave you uplifted and ready for what life throws your way.
