Hook & Ladder Theater and Minnesota Music Coalition come together to feature amazing Minnesota talent across a variety of genres. Join us monthly (Every 4th Thursday) to catch some of your favorites as well as some musicians you may not have seen yet!

Mayyadda is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Minneapolis who aspires to use her music to make people slow down, find themselves in another perspective, and feel their way towards individual and collective healing. With an eclectic mix of neo-soul vocals, folksy guitar, pop-style piano with trap beats sprinkled in for flavor, she likes to refer to her genre as, “BlackGirlMagic.” She has been active as a recording artist since 2015, releasing four projects since then: most recently, TRY&REMEMBER, a sonic journey thru the risks one takes on their way to healing, which she released in October 2021.

“Joan” is a 4 piece band established in 2020 featuring a young and talented female singer-songwriter, Kaity Joan, backed by skillful musicians playing her energetic and catchy original rock tunes as well as heartful ballads in alternative rock and pop arrangements. Joan has performed at various outdoor stages including Minnehaha Falls Park for the Music at Parks event by the City of Minneapolis as well as Veterans Memorial Amphitheater for an event by the City of St. Louis Park. We also perform at various local venues including Acadia, The Terminal Bar, Underground Music Cafe, and Driftwood Char Bar. The band is currently working on the first album scheduled to be released in the spring of 2022.

Bloodline is a unique creative project that features a blend of North and South American influences as well as a fusion of the three siblings’ (Eliza, Lukaz and Julia) musical talents. Together they create dreamy and nostalgic R&B/Alt. Pop that resonates with the musician in each one of them.
