Combining observational, subtly quirky lyrics with melodies that hearken back to the classic sounds of the 60′s and 70′s, he has been entertaining audiences throughout the Midwest as a dynamic performer, whether playing solo, with his crackerjack band, or backing up some of the finest regional talent (Mother Banjo, Haley E Rydell, Jaspar Lepak). His most recent record, Cook-Feltz Sings Son of Schmilsson, was released in August 2025 and was hailed as “expertise and precision at its finest; art with a limitless sense of fun” (Adventures in Americana). When not indulging in his rockstar delusions, Cook-Feltz is a devoted father, cycling enthusiast and lifelong Godzilla fan.To learn more about Ben Cook-Feltz:Visit his Instagram page here https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e22672b0-a5f0-11f0-8280-99c840cc1ba4-rimg-w1110-h740-dc030202-gmir.jpg Ann ReedBeloved Minnesota songwriter, singer, guitarist and author Ann Reed has been performing for more than 40 years with her rich, dark-chocolate voice, storytelling from the human experience, and songs that find a permanent place in the heart. Of course some of her songs and stories might end up closer to your funny bone - a little irreverence never hurt anyone. Ann has toured North America coast to coast, doing concerts, clubs, festivals, and she's met wonderful fans and made friends all along the way. You may have heard her on A Prairie Home Companion or playing one of her many State Fair inspired songs on Minnesota Public Radio. Better yet, you may have attended one of Ann's concerts, where her rich vocals, masterful guitar work, and keen wit are center stage.To learn more about Ann Reed:Visit her Instagram page here https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e2e025c0-a5f0-11f0-8710-4523d13aa261-rimg-w493-h740-dc141414-gmir.jpg Zippy LaskeTwin Cities artist Zippy Laske is a multi-genre singer-songwriter known for her bright voice and playful melodies.
