Before COVID-19, TeawhYB performed in Minneapolis, at Freakfest in Madison, WI, and was bound for SXSW before the nation was brought to its knees. Yet even though the world was on hold the same cannot be said for this hip-hop artist. He can be found on all social media and streaming platforms. Check him out on TikTok!
You can stream "What We Were" everywhere now, or just Spotify.
"I wanted to release a song that said what I was feeling." Pelham said. "I started writing about the thoughts in my head, and at the end of the day I thought, 'Wow fuck all of these feelings', and the rest just fell out."
Pelham releases "fuck all these feelings" on May 29th. You can presave the song on Spotify through distrokid here. Pelham has also released songs in association with Secondhand Hounds, Still Kickin, and the #LIVIN Foundation, which you can find on his Spotify page.
Parrish released "Together" late April of 2020, a powerful song with an even more powerful message. Parrish uses this song to remind the listeners that in a world of isolation, we are all in this together. An inspiring message, accompanied by strong vocals, warm instrumentation, and musicality similar to NEEDTOBREATHE, and Ed Sheeran.
Be sure to check out the official music video for "Together" when it drops, and add it to your favorite folk, Spotify playlist.
DeMarco, originally from Iowa, has been largely welcomed by the Minneapolis community. From frequenting open mics, to playing at almost every local venue we can think of, he has made an impact, as well as a name for himself, and is definitely on the rise in the scene.
Once the scene is opened back up, and shows start again, be sure to attend one of Admiral Fox's shows to catch their electrifying performance. "Nowhere is Safe" is available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify. Our First Showcase.We had our first ever showcase at the beginning of April. In a word, it went swimmingly. The room was packed, all the artists were on point, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their selves. Twin Cities Media came out to the show and wrote a lovely article about it, as well as took some amazing photos. We have another showcase this month, it's actually in 4 days! We have Molly Conrad, Mike Saker, Ryan McDonald, and Dahlia Jones coming to perform. So cancel your plans! Unless your plans are to come to the Showcase, then don't cancel... please come. If you are an artist, and you are interested in playing the showcase, you should come through! We'd love to meet you! Who should you Hear - Jeff Krause

With the month of March also being the submission time for NPR's tiny desk concert contest, we got to see many of Minnesota's local artists pull out all the stops in an attempt to showcase what it is about their music that is truly special. We've compiled a list of some of our favorite videos, in no particular order, that we saw going around the interwebs. Don't worry, no Hobo Johnson.
