Grand Holler and Pocketknife

In 2021, singer-songwriter Andrew James Spaeth put together a band to record songs he’d been performing as a solo acoustic artist. Now his studio band is taking those songs to the stage as the four-piece rock and blues band, Grand Holler. Joining Spaeth in the group are Jesse Annala, Mark Erickson and Travis Farleigh.

Pocketknife is an Iron Range-based, five-piece band that plays original new-age rock and roll music. Formerly known as Big Waves and Bonfires, the group features singer and guitarist Karl Sundquist, fiddle and cowbell player Jill Burkes, lead guitarist Rob Wheeler, bassist Ethan Schechinger and drummer Matt Pueringer.
