MoonCats have been bringing fun to North Dakota’s music scene since 2018. With countless shows, three full-length albums, and tours across the region and country, this tuned-in trio is known for singalong originals and occasional covers. Blending American roots instruments, Slinger, Danny, and Sky paint vivid pictures of the plains and sing about the times. Their mix of new and old-time music—featuring banjo, washboard, upright bass, mandolin, guitar, harmonica, and more—creates an irresistible live experience you won’t want to miss.

Dellwood, a talented young duo, brings an energetic and diverse stage presence with a mix of originals, Americana, and fresh spins on favorite songs. Their musical skill and heartfelt delivery capture the attention of audiences of all ages.

Hailing from Minneapolis and St. Paul, Pert Near Sandstone delivers a powerful, joy-filled performance rooted in midwestern string-band tradition. Formed by childhood friends within the vibrant Minneapolis music scene, their chemistry evokes the spirit of classic family bands while shaping a modern roots sound all their own. As co-founders of the prestigious Blue Ox Music Festival, they’ve become key stewards of the upper-midwest roots community. Their newest album, Rising Tide, pushes their songwriting to bold new heights—addressing today’s issues with honesty and heart. Touring across the U.S. and Europe, they bring infectious energy to every stage they play.

This in-person event promises a memorable celebration of community, artistry, and high-energy performance. Don’t miss your chance to gather with friends and fellow music lovers for an unforgettable hootenanny under the winter sky. See you there!
