Mixing up an unlikely concoction of vintage rock & roll and outlaw country, Cole Diamond is, depending on when you ask, either the stage name for singer/songwriter Ryan Otte or the collective handle for Otte and his Band. For years Otte spent most weekends behind a drum kit playing with too many band to list. The idea for Cole Diamond came about as a way for Otte to step out from behind the drums and try his hand at the front of the stage. In the years since “Cole Diamond” was conceived he has released an EP, a string of singles, received airplay on 89.3 The Current, and opened for national acts such as Corb Lund. Drawing on influences that range from Waylon and Willie to Brooks & Dunn, Cole Diamond delivers a modern take on a classic sound.

Washington, D.C. native John Conroy brings an everyman's attitude to smart, sharply written material that runs the gamut from shrewd observations to social satire. Shortly after moving toMinnesota in 2008 his peers voted him Best New Comic in the Twin Cities, and the following year he took the top prize in the Funniest Person in the Twin Cities Contest. Over the next two years he made a rapid transition from opener to headliner, playing hundreds of shows each year and touring the top clubs throughout the midwest and East Coast. Conroy is a jovial iconoclast whose good-humored but aggressive act makes a lasting impression

Ledfoot Larry is a Saint Paul, Minnesota-based "Cowpunk" artist, combining Tex-Mex and early styles of country music to create a neotraditional sound. Lorenzo "Ledfoot Larry" Michelutti first performed as the solo artist "Ledfoot Larry" in 2014 in Saint Paul, MN, and by 2017 decided to take his act out with a full band.  Eight distinguished years into their genre-bending career, Larry and band together make "Ledfoot Larry". In that time, they have headlined festivals, released their debut album "Smooches Gracias" to critical acclaim, a follow-up album titled "Tequila Mockingbird" which has seen much terrestrial radio play, and were 2019 and 2021 Midwest CMA Awards nominees.

Larry and band have also gone on to be frequent headliners for rodeos in the Midwest, and are even a fixture at local festivals and street dances across Minnesota and Wisconsin.

So call them what you will..."neo classic country", or "new fashioned hillbilly" - it's all the same to them. They are all dedicated to holding the torch for traditional American 'roots music', while at the same time looking to forge new ground and expressing their own musical vision.

Their exciting live show is a combination of radio-friendly originals, and the most danceable Top 40 classics from the "Golden Age of Country" to ever grace the radio!  Whether you find them at a street dance, large venue or roadside honky-tonk, you're looking at a sweaty night of broken heels and spendy bar tabs.
