DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS \n\n		rsvp on Facebook\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThe Zen Arcade Stage at The Hook and Ladder Event Center\n\n\nDoors 6:30pm :: Music 7:00pm :: 21+\n\n\n$17 ADV (Box-Office) / $20 ADV (Online) / $25 DOORLimited Seating Available on a First-Come\, First-Served Basis — Arrive Early\n\n\nBOX-OFFICE Tickets Are Available in The Zen Arcade During Hours of Operation.For More Information visit www.ZenArcadeTHC.comNO REFUNDS \n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nBeth Bombara / Mother Banjo—\nTwo powerful voices in modern folk and Americana share the stage for an intimate night in the Zen Arcade. Beth Bombara’s guitar-driven songs blend ’70s folk soul with ’90s indie rock spirit—honest\, melodic\, and quietly powerful. Minneapolis favorite Mother Banjo (Ellen Stanley) opens the night with poetic songwriting and a soulful mix of folk\, bluegrass\, and Americana.\n\n—– \n\nBeth Bombara lives at the intersection of 70’s folk soul and 90’s indie rock heart. Her guitar-driven songs blend emotional honesty with sparkling melodies\, creating something that feels both timeless and immediate. \nBut Bombara’s story is as much about perseverance as it is about sound. After working with different labels that eventually folded beneath her feet\, she kept writing\, kept recording\, kept moving forward with determination. She’s toured internationally\, and released self-produced albums garnering the attention of BBC radio\, American Songwriter Magazine\, Uncut Magazine and more. But in late 2025\, an accident left her with a broken wrist\, broken ribs\, and a few months of canceled shows. Unable to play guitar or sing without pain\, Bombara found herself stripped down to what matters most: the music itself\, the gratitude for each day\, the clarity that comes from loss. \nHer upcoming record reflects this evolution—sonically bolder\, lyrically more vulnerable\, produced with fresh perspective alongside her own refined instincts. It’s a natural expansion of everything she’s built across five critically acclaimed albums\, informed by grit\, grace\, and a renewed understanding that time is precious. \nShe’s not one to sit still for too long. And that’s exactly the point.  \n————– \nFeaturing Ellen Stanley on banjo and vocals\, Mother Banjo is a New England-raised\, Minneapolis-based songwriter. Called “an outstanding poet” (Inside Bluegrass)\, she was a Midwest Finalist for the prestigious NewSong Contest. She has been featured nationally on SiriusXM Radio\, CMT.com\, The Bluegrass Situation and Americana UK and has shared the stage with such A-list songwriters as Dar Williams\, Charlie Parr and Jim Lauderdale. She and her award-winning band just released a special 10th Anniversary Vinyl Edition of the Mother Banjo Band’s best-selling gospel album The Devil Hasn’t Won\, featuring their unique brand of soulful folk\, bluegrass and Americana.  \nWhether performing solo or with her full 5-piece band\, she is an engaging performer that brings a playful energy to the stage even when singing the saddest of songs. When not writing or recording her own music\, she is busy supporting other artists\, hosting the syndicated Womenfolk Radio Show and the Back Catalog Listening Party podcast.  \n—\n“traditional folk and bluegrass sounds with genuinely poetic lyrics\, landing somewhere between Gillian Welch and Lucy Kaplansky.”-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Formed in 2010\, the band quickly rose through the local music scene\, selling out shows and touring nationally as their reputation spread. \nFrontwoman Jelly leads with a rare blend of innocence and ferocity\, delivering performances that are both raw and magnetic. Guitarist Eric Mitchell and bassist Chris Reifsteck provide the backbone of the band with groovy riffs and soulful tones that drive the sound forward. The band’s original lineup also included drummer and founding member Paul Solem\, whose powerful presence helped shape The Jelly Project’s identity until his passing from cancer in 2024. \nAt their peak\, The Jelly Project became one of the most sought-after rock acts in the Twin Cities. Highlights from this era include multiple sold-out shows\, national tours\, a performance at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip\, winning a Battle of the Bands in 2015\, and gaining notoriety for challenging the status quo of local radio media. \nIn 2016\, the band went on hiatus as members shifted focus toward families and new careers. Following the loss of Paul Solem in 2024\, the remaining founding members—Jelly\, Eric\, and Chris—have felt a renewed calling to honor the band’s legacy. Fueled by unwavering fan support\, The Jelly Project is preparing for a long-awaited return in 2026. \n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Leaving six studio albums in their path\, they have been reinventing their music with every record. Spit from the heart of America’s Rust Belt\, arising from a night of flophouse violence. Drifting across the states\, they cemented their sound in Portland\, OR and later in Los Angeles\, CA\, where they lived in abandoned buildings\, squatter camps\, storage units and shoebox apartments. In 2007\, they left everything behind and spent the next four years living out of whatever vehicle would get them to the next town. Building upon their original sound of twanged-out\, punk rock “gutterbilly” (Life of Sin 2004 and Gutterbillyblues 2007)\, they began picking up stray musicians along the way and adding to their sound; washboard\, accordion\, mandolin and banjo (Ghost of th’ Rails 2009 and 7 Devils 2011) creating a sound referred to as “hobocore”\, “gypsy-punk” or “americana-punk”\, while never being stuck in any one sound. Enter 2018 and The Goddamn Gallows have reinvented themselves once again with The Trial. From rockabilly\, psychobilly and punk rock\, to bluegrass and metal\, The Trial infuses disparate sounds into a new strange recipe of seamless genre bending profundities. Chock full of impromptu antics of the shocking variety and hauntingly eclectic instrumentation\, The Goddamn Gallows have made legions of fans with their legendary\, live shows. The Goddamn Gallows\, takes their progression of mixing punk rock\, bluegrass\, psychobilly\, and metal to a whole new level! The Goddamn Gallows have now partnered with Sailor’s Grave Records to help deliver the next chapter of their legacy to the world. The Trial begins now.\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n					\n\n	\n\n	\n				\n			\n			\nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
