17 Kevins
​
​
17 Kevins is a Minneapolis based rock band from the SW metro. Rising from the smoke and ashes of dozens of now defunct bands, the members of 17 Kevins bonded over music and personal misfortune. Playing together to relieve stress and tensions, it wasn’t long before they had an eclectic collection of original songs chronicling everything from the desperation of the work-a-day world (So Hard), mental health (Losing it), or the frustrations of raising kids (Coming Home).
17 Kevins hopes to be your favorite bar band reflecting the world around them with original music and special takes of some of their favorite rock songs. See you at the show!!!
The Mike Poot Band
Mike Poot is an accomplished musician known for his heartfelt acoustic performances and comes to us now with a full band sounds. Having appeared at our first CCMF, he’s back with even more talented members to elevate his music. With a captivating blend of folk, rock, and blues, Mike has been entertaining audiences throughout the Twin Cities Metro area and beyond. His raw and authentic style continues to resonate, making each show a memorable experience for all who attend.
Becky Rae Dalton
Another local 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.
Reese Glover
Reese Glover is a rising singer-songwriter from Minnesota. In his own writing, Glover has drawn inspiration from the raw story-telling styles of artists like Tyler Childers, Turnpike Troubadours, Caamp, Zach Bryan, and Charles Wesley Godwin. Glover has built a following brick by brick, playing local Minnesota venues to bigger and bigger stages across the Midwest. Known for his ability to connect with his audience, Glover cuts through the noise with an authentic sound and, at times, the strain of a harmonica.
With his recent release, “Time and Time Again,” it’s clear that Glover is a name to watch out for and an act that you don’t want to miss.
