SOUTHERN RESIDENT KILLER WHALES
Minneapolis acoustic indie rocker and songwriter Dan Hylton just launched his newest effort, Craft Pop quartet Southern Resident Killer Whales. With one foot in the singer-songwriter “storyteller” tradition and one in lush, pop” arrangements, this brand of Craft Pop is something like the crossroad between a slightly offbeat Glen Hansard and a slightly upbeat Morrissey.
“…fresh, smart, yet deeply personal and emotional words capturing life’s significant moments and its lessons taught”
(Christine Mlodzik, Rift Magazine)
“Hylton makes an indelible mark…balances quirky humor, clever slice-of-life observations, and raw emotion.”
(Peter Vallely, MPR 89.3 The Current)

CADENCE & THE WOLF
Cadence & the Wolf is a four-woman rock band from Minneapolis, MN. Their music is a concoction of four piece vocals and rock n roll guitar riffs with a dash of female empowerment mixed together in a Minneapolis basement. They met in 2007 at Girls Rock n Roll Retreat, a rock camp for girls held every summer in Minneapolis and continue to uphold the ideals of unity and respect of GRRR through their music. Cadence & the Wolf recently released their debut full length album, “Strong Minds, Strong Thighs” in June 2015.
