Luke LeBlanc is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter who delivers dynamic and unapologetically original performances of songs filled with heart, soul, and grit. LeBlanc will be releasing his latest full length album, Fugue State, at the Icehouse. Produced by Erik Koskinen, it is a follow up to his 2021 album, Only Human. According to music critic Dwight Hobbes, “abundant as the Twin Cities music scene is in eyebrow-raising talent, Luke LeBlanc’s ear-friendly, indeed entrancing music marks him as a stand-out talent.”
Luke’s music has been featured on 89.3 the Current and has received critical acclaim from numerous music magazines, including Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and Glide Magazine. His music has also been featured in numerous podcasts, including The Bob Cesca Show, 13th Floor MusicTalk with Marty Duda, Tales from the Corners with Robert J Nebel, and Strongwriter on the Radio with Dean Olsen.
LeBlanc taught himself how to play guitar at 11 years old and decided to write his own words and music soon after. At 13, he was the youngest to win the Zimmy’s (named after Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan) national Dylan influenced singer-songwriter competition in Hibbing, Minnesota. Born and raised in Minneapolis’ Northside, LeBlanc played South by Southwest in Texas in 2017 and found himself opening for Charlie Parr, Phil Solem of the Rembrandts, Joey Molland of Badfinger, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
Ellis Cleve is a Minneapolis based singer/songwriter whose music has been moving through the Twin Cities for some time now. Most of his work is probably known as the lead singer of Radiochurch. His poignant, yet catchy songwriting gives the audience a new experience with each listen. Cleve’s latest project entitled Black Folk, is a marriage between his R&B sound and his seemingly new found love for Americana/Folk. It was mixed and co-produced by Jason McGlone at The Hideaway Studios who teamed with Cleve on his previous project Live at El Rico.
