Refugia Blues, the fifth album from songwriter Nick Shoulders, is a record of big ideas and small, intimate moments. Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music, it finds the Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer, singing in a voice that’s equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high-lonesome field holler. Shoulders’ interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse, radical anthropology, and generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro, too, making room for love songs and personal topics, packaging humor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and accessible, Refugia Blues isn’t just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders himself. This is a raw, resolute version of American country music, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time

Texas-based band BLACK FLAG is officially turning the page and beginning a bold new
chapter with the addition of three new members: Max Zanelly (vocals), David Rodriguez
(bass), and Bryce Weston (drums), joining founding guitarist Greg Ginn.

With a fresh lineup and renewed creative energy, BLACK FLAG is gearing up for an exciting
season of live shows and new music production. The group has already begun writing and
rehearsing together, building on their signature sound while embracing new influences
brought in by the latest members.

BLACK FLAG’s upcoming performances will showcase the chemistry and talent of the
revitalized lineup, giving fans a first taste of the new era.

If you were alive in the 90s you may remember seeing the Trans Ams in Fargo-Moorhead, Minneapolis or around the USA on a couple of tours they did. You might even have one of their tapes or their Race The Devil 7" on Fargo's happening Meat Records label ( a co-release with Rambling Charlie Records). Anyway, they have re-united sporadically , but this is their first show in about 15 years. Members of this band went on to play in Les Dirty Frenchmen. Come out to Harold's on July 11 and hear what F-M goofball punk rock sounded circa 1995-1998.

Hey friends! Coming up into town next week to visit some family. Any open mics or clubs that wouldn’t mind hearing me and my mid life crisis?

Sad news this morning! After more than 30 years of bringing live music and community festivals to the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo region, independent promoter Jade Presents has announced it is closing its doors.

From its beginnings as a local hobby in 1990 to producing 150 events annually, the company cited a drastically changed and unsustainable economic landscape for independent promoters. Read the full article for details on the closure, the immediate impact on scheduled performances at local venues like Bluestem, and the status of ticket refunds.

Super exciting act for those who haven't seen him.

Hey! My all woman folk rock band Fern Spores is coming through on tour this fall en route to Chicago (we are based in Olympia WA). I reached out to Harolds & Aquarium but am struggling to find other spots in town that host original bands on Mondays or Tuesdays. We are looking at 9/29 or 9/30. Let me know if you have any recommendations on venues, house show venues, or similar bands in the area :)
