Dave Simonett (of Trampled by Turtles)

Dave Simonett has spent almost two decades as the lead singer, guitar player and songwriter for the widely popular and beloved roots band, Trampled By Turtles. He also fronts Dead Man Winter, a bull-bodied, emotionally resonant brand of Americana-infused indie rock band. He now boldly steps forward with a shining collection of new solo material for the first time under his own name called Red Tail. While Dead Man Winter's Furnace was a much-needed cathartic experience for Simonett during a dark time, he is not connecting these songs on Red Tail to his own life as he prefers to allow listeners to develop their own interpretations. The conversational and poetic style in which Simonett writes lends itself to this perfectly, inspired by the spacious and stark Northern woods of Minnesota, where he's from. Drawing from the outdoors, Simonett uses light, weather and imagery to paint introspective, cinematic scenes that are easy to lose yourself in.

About Superior Siren:

Superior Siren is an eerie folk project from Duluth, Minnesota. The music is inspired by Lake Superior and Siren mythology and offers an alluring and dangerous expression of vulnerability and desire. Superior Siren is led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Laura Sellner. In 2016 she joined forces with cellist Rachel Gobin, bassist Nyssa Krause, and drummer Emma Deaner to craft a mesmerizing blend of strings and percussion. The all-female band released a full-length album in 2018, followed by a tour of the Midwestern United States. In 2021, Superior Siren released a solo EP titled “Kill Your Darlings”. The collection spotlights Sellner’s haunting voice and poignant songwriting. Superior Siren continues to perform as a solo or full band act, and is in production of the next full-length album.  DOORS open at 6:30pm
