Join us as the John Magnuson Trio and Doug Otto and the Getaways play original songs (and a few covers) steeped in Americana, Classic Country.

Years ago, John Magnuson was in a Minneapolis band called the Carpetbaggers. John played rhythm guitar and wrote/sang many of the band's songs. The Carpetbaggers enjoyed some notoriety in the mid-to-late 90s when the band did three tours with Son Volt and shared the stage with such notables as Los Lobos, Alison Krauss, Dick Dale, the Jayhawks, and Paul Westerberg. In November of 2020, John released a record called Barely Noticeable. Half of the album is Indie/Folk-Rock-ish, and the other half is pretty much the same, except with a little more twang. When performing, John primarily plays his original material, with a few covers mixed in for good measure.

Doug Otto and the Getaways are known for playing the classic country and blues music of the old greats as well as their own compositions. They began to take root in 2005 within the legendary Minneapolis music scene. The Getaways possess a wide-ranging repertoire that is sure to bring you up and then right back down again. They create a sound that is introspective and melancholy, as well as upbeat, danceable and celebratory.
