An emcee, producer, host and overall party-starter, Brother Ali's talents are a well-defined addition to the Rhymesayers family. Read more about Brother Ali on Last.fm.

Red Pens
From Minneapolis
First show since since August 13, 2010 • First Luce show • 54th show on MN Live's calendar since June 16, 2008
From last.fm:
Seeing the Minneapolis duo, Red Pens, is like witnessing a demonstration, a demonstration in raw sonic bliss. Howard Hamilton III is a string-bending master who knows how to make feedback work to his advantage. His confident vocal stylings, coupled with drummer Laura Bennett's all or nothing kit pounding, are about as uniquely refreshing as it gets these days. The stage is littered with junk shop amps and guitars Hamilton seems to almost get tangled up in while he and Bennett exchange doses... Read more about Red Pens on Last.fm.

Dessa
From Minneapolis
First show since since June 6, 2010 • First Luce show • 20th show on MN Live's calendar since October 12, 2005
From last.fm:
Born Margaret Wander, Dessa’s first release with Doomtree, False Hopes, introduced a unique sensibility to underground hip-hop: literary, bitter-sweet, and wry. She alternated between a clever, droll persona as an emcee and her earnest, unaffected delivery as a singer with a low, clear alto voice. Her a cappella arrangements delicate and expressive, full of sad, old world harmonies. False Hopes attracted a varied set of ferociously dedicated fans in the Midwest and beyond.

Wild Colonial Bhoys
From Minneapolis
First show since since November 14, 2009 • First Luce show • Fourth show on MN Live's calendar since September 6, 2004
From last.fm:
The Wild Colonial Bhoys began as a side-project idea for two young veterans of the Minneapolis rock scene. Adam Coolong and Geno Carlson hail from different backgrounds thousands of miles apart (Adam is originally from Pennsylvania and Geno calls Saskatchewan home) but found common ground with a shared Irish heritage and a desire to reinvigorate the local Irish music community. They played their first show in November, 2003. Read more about Wild Colonial Bhoys on Last.fm.
City on the Make
From Minneapolis
First show since since August 10, 2010 • First Luce show • 41st show on MN Live's calendar since December 30, 2005
From last.fm:
City on the Make is a band from South Minneapolis, Minnesota comprised of childhood friends Mischa Keegan (guitar, vocals), Mike Massey (vocals), Stephen Rowe (bass, vocals), and Colin Stumbras (drums). Making music together for years, the band City on the Make emerged onto the Minneapolis scene in 2004. Purists may disagree (or give a resounding cheer, depending), but City on the Make is a "blues" band in the truest sense - raw soul channeled through musicians by way of their hands, voices, and messages of a hard-lived working-class world.
