12:30 - Steady

This young christian rock band, with members from Faribault, plays covers and originals with energy. Theirs is an uplifting and unique message.


1:15 - The Beef Slough Boys

From the Mississippi bluff region, this acoustic band enjoys playing what has become known as "Sloughgrass", a gumbo-esque musical mixture of riverboat rags, stringband blues, free-range originals and early country classics.


2:00 - James Samuel "Cornbread" Harris, Sr.

Local bluesman, "Cornbread" Harris has been laying down his own mixture of blues, jazz, heartfelt ballads, rhythm & blues, and Dixieland for more than sixty years in the Twin Cities area. He was chosen to represent Minnesota at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis this past January.



3:00 - TREE FROG INTRODUCES - KRIS LAGER BAND

Self proclaimed "Roots Revivalists", KLB is strongly rooted in the Blues and Rock and Roll but, has touches of barrelhouse Country, spicy Latin beats, cajun Zydeco, and energetic Gospel music. Recently, Indigenous front man Mato Nanji has hired these guys to be his nationally touring band and they have traveled from N.Y. to L.A., and Winnipeg to New Orleans playing a mix of his and their own original music. So here is your chance to see this unique, energetic, mid-western band on their way up.



4:00 - Minnesota Barking Ducks

With their slogan "Nothin' beats fun for havin' a good time!", The Minnesota Barking Ducks have been bringing good times to Upper Midwest audiences for over thirty years. The Ducks' wide-ranging songlist includes blues, rock, R&B, and jazz standards.


5:00 - Mike Hildebrandt and the Over-and-Back Band

Fronted by Minnesota Rock/Country Music Hall of Fame fiddler Mike Hildebrandt, The Over & Back Band plays a wide variety of fiddle-oriented, high energy, Americana and gypsy style music reflecting Hildebrandt's varied background in bluegrass, swing, jazz, and classical styles. It's easy to see why this amazing quartet has been a favorite at Tree Frog for many years!
