Mae Simpson and New Salty Dog

The Mae Simpson Band has built a broad collection of original music that refuses to fall neatly into a single genre. Singer-songwriter Simpson hails from South Carolina and has brought together a collective of seven musicians who each bring a unique flavor to this powerhouse group.

New Salty Dog is a Duluth-based blues-funk jam band heavily inspired by artists such as Frank Zappa, John Denver and A Tribe Called Quest. The band is lead by Jacob Mahon and consists of drummer Owen Mahon, saxophonist Joe Anderson, Nate Olson on the finger organ, and Adam Skunch Johnson on the Bass guitar.
