On SATURDAY, December 6th, we have a singer-songwriter showcase at B-Side Indie Music Cafe! Join us for an evening of folk and americana music performed by some great Central MN & local St. Cloud artists. This is a FREE show!
Music starts at 6PM. B-Side will be open for regular business during this show.
Let’s meet the artists!
THE GATED COMMUNITY // americana
The Gated Community is a Twin Cities-based Americana band that blends country, bluegrass, folk, and rock. Founded in Minneapolis's storied West Bank neighborhood in 2006, the band is known for its gripping original songs, beautiful vocal harmonies, and multiple lead singers. They released their sixth album Goodbye Work in June 2025, and it was ranked among the top 10 Minnesota albums in 2025 at midyear according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. They perform in a variety of configurations, from duo to full-size band.
EMMETT DOYLE & ZE’EV O’ROURKE // american & irish folk inspired
Emmett Doyle, joined by his friend and drummer Ze'ev O'Rourke, is a St Cloud born and raised singer-songwriter who works and lives in the Twin Cities. His original songs draw from a deep repertoire of American and Irish folk roots- rebel songs, ballads, protest music, and satire. An evening with Emmett's music will bring you through sobering reflections on the world, rousing rallying cries for action, weary and sardonic blues, haunting tragic stories, and earthy, punkish humor.
A union activist, he is as often found on picket lines, rallies, and fundraisers as he is at songwriter showcases and open mics- recently opening the massive No Kings protest in downtown Minneapolis with a song awarded "Strike Song of the Year" by Labor Notes, a nationwide labor organizers' network. In addition to his ballads and songs of social commentary, Emmett is the author of several songs about the St Cloud area and our history, present, and future.
THE RAMBLING RAGAMUFFINS // folk punk inspired by irish trad
The Rambling Ragamuffins are a local St. Cloud duo. They are a violin and mandolin based acoustic folk punk band. They perform original street buskin hobo tunes as well as Irish Trad covers and old time music. They have only started this band a year ago and have since won an award for "The Best New Act" at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and performed at a music festival in Mankato Minnesota and Troy Montana.
