About this Event
Minnesota songwriter and singer Becky Kapell picked up her teenage son’s guitar on a whim and began teaching herself to play at the tender age of 42. With no intention of writing songs, as she taught herself basic chords, melodies began to emerge and then somewhat magically lyrics attached themselves to the melodies. She recorded 12 of those songs with old friends in Portland, Oregon (where Becky lived as a young adult), for her first record For Now, released in 2012. Based on the strength of that recording, Becky caught the attention of respected Minnesota musician/guitar player Paul Bergen and as the two began playing together her song-writing morphed from the folkier sound of her first record to the more guitar-driven sound of her 2018 release, That Certain Ache. They have continued to play and record together along with Becky’s band The Fat 6 which often includes various luminaries from the Minnesota music world.
After taking a songwriting course taught by Ray Davies of The Kinks in the late 90’s, Saint Paul native Gini Dodds began writing, recording and performing in the Twin Cities with her band, The Dahlias, featuring lead guitarist Terry Isachsen (Curtiss A, Flamin’ Ohs, Red Flag, James Loney), drummer John ‘ Bongo’ Haga (Rock-a-Dots, Curtiss A, Them Dots, Hypstrz, Rockin’ Hollywoods), bass player Jeffrey Willkomm (Curtiss A, Nip n’ Tuck) and keyboardist Gregg Inhofer (Brainiac, Olivia Newton John, Peter Noone, Badfinger, Curtiss A).
Brian Just is a singer-songwriter and the leader of a Minneapolis 5-piece folk and psych-influenced pop group. Creating a sunny and elaborate sound, artfully incorporating '60s pop reminiscent of Nilsson and Donovan. Just's daydreamy, lazy-afternoon orchestrations are highlighted by his signature harmonies.
