5:30 PM – Soul Train – is a local mutli-genre band established 2020 during a time the when world was brought to its knees by a life changing pandemic. Our love of music brought and kept us together as we realized our contribution to the healing of the nation could be through covering some of America’s favorite tunes spanning some of the most influential decades of music 60s to current times. No matter the age we have a little something for everyone.
6:30 PM – Annie Mack – “After a bunch of years laboring away in the local blues scene, Annie began to branch out and broaden her sound. She was at the convergence of talent, experience and an R&B/neo-soul resurgence. She’s a talented woman who is finally getting her due. Mack is the classic diva. She shifts effortlessly from a Mavis Staples gospel to MoTown soul to a Koko Taylor growl. Her four piece band is rock solid and is the frame for the lady in the middle. It’s old school. And old school is still a school because, done right, it’s powerful stuff. She’s powerful stuff.” — Twin Cities Media Net
