Gabriel Douglas has built his reputation on the churning, heavy-thumping blues rock of the 4onthefloor, whose sound is defined as much by his wild man warrior-bellow vocals as it is by the steady pulse of the four members' synchronous bass-drum thuds but a delve into the corner of his catalog reveals an artist with a startling breadth of interests. The man keeps busy, holding down gigs in several stylistically distinct groups while regularly performing and recording solo. The solo shows let the guttural howls show through and the songs breathe new lives as stripped down road songs.
From the roots rockin', foot-stompin' barrage of the 4onthefloor to the down-tempo chills of "Orca Colony," all the way to the bellowing solo shows, he brings his passion and joy to the listeners. Wonderful landscapes are drawn as his lyrics cascade over an audience. His shows range from minimal, soft-spoken scarce valleys where the crowd hushes, to a full-on audio assault as he howls and hails from tales of a life well traveled.
Dan Dresser is a well known and charismatic anchor in the local Duluth music scene and hopes to branch out with an upcoming tour as well as a strong online presence. He has shared the stage with notable acts such as Low, Charlie Parr and Roe Family Singers and has been in several Duluth bands including The Brushstrokes, who released the album, "This is how the world will end" in 2010. Three Song Sunday released the album "Don't be sad on me in 2012," and his duo The Getarounds released a live EP in 2013. His new music video for the title track from his new solo album entitled, "Suffer." It was directed by Jason Page of 4 Track Films and illustrates Dresser's unforgettable talent for finding something fresh and meaningful in the ordinary and familiar.
Native to the cold, northern shores of Minnesota, Portage bellows a sound reminiscent of the rootsy-folk music that runs as deep in the region as Lake Superior itself, the inspiration behind their attic-recorded debut album, "The Unsalted Sea." Since their move to Minneapolis, Portage can be found howling their intimate lyrics at full volume from stages and living rooms alike, putting on memorable shows that can make even the bitterest Midwestern night feel warmer.
