Arlo Cristofaro is a shepherd and songwriter who lives in his hometown of Northfield, Minnesota. His music invites listeners to explore with him themes of place, connection to the land, and the intricacies of human relationships. Joined by Dex Wolfe & Pat Keen, he will share a collection of previously unreleased songs from his forthcoming, debut EP.

Pony was formed in 2014 by Clifton Nesseth (vocals, strings, guitar, keys, synthesizers) and Paul Sauey (vocals, strings, guitar, bass). Based out of Minneapolis, MN, the pair’s multi-instrumentalist abilities and vocal harmonies have carved them out a reputation of creating maximalist soundscapes that are defined by droning layers of guitars, strings, and synth textures - undergirding emotionally evocative lyrical imagery. Aaron Hays (drums) joined the band in 2021. In 2020, Pony began to release a series of singles starting with their highway-inspired homecoming ballad, Longway. The band plans to release an LP in 2022.

Witch Hunter General is the songwriting project of Tim Frederick. The first songs were written when he returned to Minnesota after studying saxophone in college and began looking for a new direction to achieve the sound he was hearing. Together with longtime friends and musical collaborators Robbie Weisshaar (LASKA, Antlers Motel) and Andy Colburn (Dr. Goon & The Daily Tribune), they decamped to a cabin in rural Wisconsin to record the EP In the Winter in 2019 for release that year. Performing alone or as a group, Witch Hunter General has continued to hone a refreshing folk sound featuring adventurous synths and string arrangements alongside fingerpicked guitar naked as a fallen branch. In 2022, they will release Still Point as a culmination of years of studio work and Flower & Bloom, a short collection of songs highlighting a fully acoustic approach.
