Sophie Hiroko | Cedar Sessions Residency
Riding a wave of generational change in the city’s music scene, Duluth’s Sophie Hiroko began writing songs as a teenager and found an audience last summer. In the fall, she recruited bassist Ned Netzel and drummer Tommy Kishida to help transform her songs into a fully formed sound that falls into the self-described genre of “tender bubblegrunge.” Kishida is leaving the band before Homegrown, but Leif Hinkel has stepped in to take over the drums. George Ellsworth was recently added on keys. Hiroko’s lyrics reflect the experience of “coming of age in Duluth as a queer woman, and coming from a multi-cultural family,” she said.

Indecent Proposal | Superior Soundcheck Series
Indecent Proposal is more than a name - it's a mindset. In a world where we constantly follow, and conform to fit in, we encourage the opposite. Our Indecent Proposal is to wholeheartedly embrace the essence of who you truly are without the weight of fitting the form. We propose to let go of expectations and bring love, respect, individuality, and courage to the floor. Be yourself, and be indecent.

Tired Eyes | Neil Young Tribute
Stalwarts of frayed future harmonics scour the Neil Young catalog and resuscitate all that is immense therein, calling themselves Tired Eyes (after a deep cut from 1975’s Tonight’s the Night). You know them already as Alan Sparhawk (Low/Black Eyed Snakes), Rich Mattson (Ol’ Yeller/Northstars), Glen Mattson (Lazer Bear/IROB), and Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run/Jayhawks/Golden Smog). The newspapers say that Tired Eyes “isn’t just grabbing the AM gold hits from Harvest, but focusing on the genre-defying classic-era Crazy Horse lineup. They drive home this point by taking their name from one of Young’s darker songs. ‘Heart of Gold,’ this is not."

The album was produced by Arif Mardin and features Prine's brother Dave on dobro, banjo, and fiddle while Steve Goodman also contributes on guitar and harmonies. In the Great Days: The John Prine Anthology liner notes, Prine tells David Fricke that the album was recorded in three days at a cost of $7,200, "including beer",

Born Too Late | Superior Soundcheck Series
Born Too Late has been offering up musical nostalgia in the Twin Ports since 2016, when siblings Traxx and Rokkyn Nelson-Kavajecz first started gigging around town as 9- and 11-year-olds. Their style is 1970s and ’80s rock and country, and their love of this music is what led to the band name. While they started out doing covers, they have since branched out into writing original music in the same vein, with Traxx playing acoustic guitar and both Nelson-Kavajecz’s producing vocal harmonies. Their second album, Terrible Twos, was released in October.
