Sophie Hiroko and Betty Wont
2026-02-27 19:30 - 22:00 | Oak Center General Store, 67011 Highway 63, Lake City, Minnesota, 55041
Sophie Hiroko is a singer/songwriter native to Duluth, MN, and a daughter of Lake Superior. She describes the genre of music she creates as “tender bubble grunge” which aims to describe the marriage of her soft vocals alongside a grungy backing band. Hiroko draws inspiration from themes of death, rebirth, social justice, and girlhood. Her sound can be compared to the Lilith Fair movement of the ’90s, merged with the femme grunge movement that took place within the same time period. Fans of The Breeders, The Sundays, Mazzy Star, and Juliana Hatfield will love Sophie Hiroko.

Betty Wont: with a skip in their step and a tear in their eyes this rowdy minneapolis based quintet has played from frisco to brooklyn delivering a twangy, blues soaked rock and roll wherever folks will have them. the country band at your punk show or the punk band at the honkytonk this versatile group of professional musicians will certainly have the most fun at any concert.

Pieta Brown with Liz Draper Live!
2026-04-11 18:30 - 21:30 | Oak Center General Store, 67011 Highway 63, Lake City, Minnesota, 55041
overview

The Talent
Pieta Brown: Hailed as a “self-styled poetess, folk goddess, and country waif” by the BBC, Pieta Brown first came to international prominence with the release of her self-titled debut in 2002. Since then she has released multiple highly critically acclaimed albums, EPs and singles, with much attention being paid not only to her distinct sound and style, but also the power of her singing and songwriting, including fan favorite, Paradise Outlaw, which Bon Iver mastermind Justin Vernon has called his “favorite recording made at our studio.” Brown has toured worldwide with artists such as John Prine, Amos Lee, Brandi Carlisle, JJ Cale, Ani DiFranco, Mavis Staples, and Calexico among others. She has co-written songs with and made guest appearances on albums by Calexico, Amos Lee, Howe Gelb, and Iris Dement. Brown’s most recent album Freeway was co-produced by S. Carey and earned widespread critical acclaim from NPR Music, Stereogum, Billboard, FLOOD, Paste, American Songwriter, Folk Alley, and Relix. She followed that shortly after with the bold and experimental single “Follow You” as well as an EP/digital triptych collaboration recorded at Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner’s HIVER Festival called We Are Not Machines featuring Ani DiFranco, S. Carey, Holland Andrews, Jenn Wassner, and more. In 2022 Pieta further expanded her musical prowess by recording and releasing an album of original cinematic instrumentals, The Less I Needed The Better I Felt, under the moniker Sylvee & The Sea featuring John Convertino (Calexico), Don Was, and CJ Carmerieri (Carm). She also co-produced Iris DeMent’s most recent album Workin’ On A World, which has garnered praise from Rolling Stone and The New York Times among many others. Along the way she has earned respect and accolades for her talents in soundtrack design, videography, and photography as well; Brown’s photographs have appeared in gallery shows and on numerous album covers for fellow artists. Continually revealing new layers as a songwriter, singer, musician, producer, visual artist and performer, Brown is being recognized as a true multi-hyphenate and one of modern Americana’s true gems. “Pieta Brown sings about love and trust…“In my heart you sing clear and bright / It makes me feel like things will be all right,” she intones, convincing both herself and anyone listening.” – The New York Times
Pieta will be joined by her trio for the first set and in the second will be joined by Liz Draper.
Liz Draper: classically and jazz-trained versatile bassist, has performed, recorded and/or toured internationally with such groups as the Grammy Award-winning Okee Dokee Brothers, Soul Asylum, Charlie Parr, The Rose Ensemble, Ben Weaver, Orkestar Bez Ime, and Davina and the Vagabonds. A professional musician since age 16, Liz has performed in an astonishing array of musical genres and ensembles, from jazz and classical to folk, metal, improvisational, experimental, Balkan, and chamber strings.

Lone Piñon Live!
2026-04-18 18:30 - 21:30 | Oak Center General Store, 67011 Highway 63, Lake City, Minnesota, 55041
overview

The Talent
Lone Piñon is a New Mexican string band, or “orquesta típica”, whose music celebrates the integrity and diversity of their region’s cultural roots. With fiddles, upright bass, guitars, accordions, vihuela, and bilingual vocals, they play a wide spectrum of the traditional music that is at home in New Mexico. The Norte has long been a crossroads of cultures, and centuries of intersecting histories, trade routes, migrations, and cultural movements have endowed the region with an expansive and rich musical heritage that weaves together Spanish, Mexican, Indigenous, European immigrant, Anglo-American, and Afro-American musical influences. The oldest strands of this tradition have survived in continuity, renewed by each new generation’s contribution to core style and repertoire that has been passed from musician to musician, in some cases over many centuries. Though rapid cultural change since the ‘50s has led to these sounds becoming scarce in their home territory, they never fully disappeared–thanks to the elders and past generations that lovingly and tenaciously carried them forward, renewing the voice of their musical ancestors at each step into changing circumstances. The musicians of Lone Piñon learned from elder musicians who instilled in them a respect for continuity and an example of the radicalism, creativity, and cross-cultural solidarity that has always been necessary for musical traditions to adapt and thrive in each generation. In 2014, Lone Piñon was founded as a platform for creativity around the oldest sounds of traditional New Mexico string music, sounds that had all but disappeared from daily life in many Northern New Mexico communities. Through relationship with elders, study of field recordings, connections to parallel traditional music and dance revitalization movements in the US and Mexico, and hundreds of local and national performances, they have brought the language of the New Mexico orquesta típica back onto the modern stage, back onto dance floors, into a contemporary aesthetic/artistic conversation, and into the ears of a young generation. The musical landscape of Northern New Mexico bears the record of interconnecting musical movements that cross state, national, generational, and ethnic borders. Lone Piñon’s active and recorded repertoire reflects that complexity, and has included a wide range of regionally-relevant material (Western swing, conjunto, New Mexican Spanish and Mexican ranchera, Central Mexican son regional, country, onda chicana, etc.) around the core New Mexican violin and accordion-driven polkas, cunas, inditas, valses, and chotes learned from elders.
