Now\, he’s uniting his passion for music and service to support another vital organization: Open Arms of Minnesota. \n\n \nOpen Arms provides free\, nutritious meals to people living with life-threatening illnesses like HIV/AIDS and cancer. After a devastating loss of state and federal funding\, the organization is now at risk—forcing some clients to go without food. Matt’s firsthand experience as a former Open Arms intern and community member inspired him to act. \n\n \nOn Saturday\, July 12\, Matt is organizing a powerful night of music at The Hook and Ladder Theater. Featuring beloved local bands and artists\, this benefit concert will raise funds to help Open Arms continue delivering life-saving meals. \n \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening where music meets mission—and help nourish our neighbors in need.

This rockin’ quartet is considered one of the torch bearers of American roots music. \n \nSince forming in 1988 in Southern California\, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Roots acts\, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country\, Doo-Wop\, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager\, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. \n \nAnd as his personal record collection continues to grow (75\,000 and counting)\, so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing style. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex-Mex hero Freddy Fender\, released at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown\, points the way forward for Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys as they continue on a path of musical growth. After nearly 35 years on the road\, and more than two dozen releases to their credit\, they remain key figures on the ever-changing Americana circuit\, both on record and in live appearances.\n \n\nMinneapolis based band\, Lena & The LoveKills\, exist in a musical genre all their own. The band fuses elements of Rockabilly\, Danceable Swing\, Jump Blues and R&B into an eclectic mix of good music and fun times that can only rightfully be described as “Swingabilly.” Their stage presence\, retro look\, and often quirky sense of humor delights listeners and gets folks onto the dance floor.

Get your tickets and don’t forget your dancing shoes!—Igor Yuzov was born in Germany\, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union\, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak\, led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible\, Igor left Russia for America with his “Folk’n’Roll” band Limpopo\, and was personally greeted by Ronald Reagan. In 1993\, Limpopo won Ed McMahon’s Star Search and their popularity began to blossom. In 1995\, Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock’n’roll. Igor and his Russian friends became Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger\, the City of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances. Evolving over the years\, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. Over the past 20 years\, Red Elvises have constantly toured all over the world with occasional breaks to record new music and to participate in film and television projects. \n\n \nAs an independent band\, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums\, two live albums\, a live concert DVD\, and a Greatest Hits compilation. Some of their most notable film contributions include music and or performances in “Six String Samurai”\, “Mail Order Bride”\, “Armageddon”\, “Skippy”\,  “Melrose Place”\, “Fastlane”\, “Penn and Teller’s Sin City Extravaganza”\, “VH-1 Behind the Music”\, and “MTV”. Red Elvises have performed for large festivals\, private parties\, and played on massive stages such as 2005’s Live 8 Benefit Concert. No matter where they perform\, Igor & Red Elvises always bring the party with them.\n \nBlack Widows are a surf-punk-psyche band from Minneapolis\, Mn\, U.S. They serve up wild surf guitar\, slick bass grooves\, mean beats\, & riot grrrl vox. BW have toured overseas & nationally from Spain to NYC & LA playing bills and festivals w/ major acts like Bombino\, Dale Watson\, L.A. Witch\, The Trashmen\, Shonen Knife\, Olivia Jean\, The Coathangers\, Death Valley Girls\, Supersuckers\, Agent Orange\, The Surfaris\, Man or Astro-Man\, Messer Chups\, The Surfrajettes\, John Waters\, & more.

In the gospel church of her childhood\, she played saxophone and drums and found her singing voice and a passion for music. \n \nChastity’s been featured on NPR’s Favorite Sessions\, CMT\, American Songwriter\, the London Times\, Paste Magazine and others. Chastity has toured the U.S. and abroad\, appearing on the U.K.’s Later…with Jools Holland.\n \nLike so many artists who endured the uncertainty of the 2020 lockdown\, Chastity’s instinct was to turn inward\, at first out of self-preservation\, and then because the new songs kept coming and coming. Since finishing her last album\, 2017’s Silhouette Of Sirens\, she estimates she’s written nearly 100 new songs\, ten of which found their way onto her latest\, 2022’s Sing To The Walls.\n \nBetween writing sessions she’s been vibing to chilled-out\, forward-thinking artists like Leon Bridges\, H.E.R.\, SZA\, and Daniel Caesar\, taking their cue to expand beyond genre and her folk/roots history to encompass her appreciation of all Black American musical art forms. “I also want to poke at what the blues is\,” Chastity reflects. “It has a lot of stereotypes like it’s mostly only played by blue-eyed white guys now. But what about Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey? I feel so closely connected\, in a pure\, undeviating lineage\, to the heritage of being a Black\, queer blues woman. I want to share this music with them\, to say that I’ve listened\, and I’ve done something new.”\n—\n\nAnna Devine is a singer-songwriter based in the Twin Cities. You may have seen her singing with local indie groups Aiden Intro and Chutes. In 2024\, Anna moved to center stage to front her solo project\, playing sold-out rooms in the Twin Cities area.\nInspired by indie folk musicians such as Adrianne Lenker\, Slow Pulp and Alex G\, Anna released her debut EP\, “Seeing the Trees for the Leaves” in April 2025. \n \n“Her first solo release\, “Year’s End\,” captures the conflicting feelings of starting anew after the holiday fanfare. Devine’s gentle\, sensitive musical touch is reminiscent of alternative folk artists like Big Thief and Aldous Harding.” —Diane Miller\, The Current (MPR)\n \n“Anna Devine’s songs carry stories of heartache and fortitude across her new EP\, Seeing the Trees for the Leaves. With subtle and gentle delivery\, Devine knows how to sculpt atmosphere on the opening song “This Time.” The minimal sound design builds with swells of warm tones and gently strummed guitar\, evolving into a beautiful tune.” —Mpls.St.Paul Magazine\n\n\n \n\nThank you to our sponsors\, partners\, & neighbors: \nSummit Brewing • DuNord Social Spirits • RKR Ganja Beverages • Nobool Presents • KFAI 90.3FM • Mpls.St.Paul Magazine • The Zen Arcade • Longfellow Rising • Lake Street Council • Minnesota State Arts Board • Moon Palace Books • Arbeiter Brewing\n\n \nThe Award-Winning* Under the Canopy series at The Hook & Ladder Theater returns with its uniquely seasonal urban footprint to the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis in 2025. *Voted Best in MN 2021 by Star Tribune readers.\n \nThe Hook has committed to having a food truck Under the Canopy throughout the 2025 season for our guests.

All killer no filler. RuDeGiRL is a fiery female tribute to The Clash. Garage rockers Mary Strand & The Garage celebrate the release of her new album I Don’t Need Your Permission (Hygh Tension Records (TLG)/Virgin Music Group). Neil Young’s Vapor Records alumni The Customers return with a vengeance of their own. And The Silent Treatment delivers fast\, loud punk sounds as subtle as a car accident.—Mary Strand & The Garage\nRising garage rocker Mary Strand’s second album\, I Don’t Need Your Permission\, explores themes of empowerment\, especially from a woman’s perspective. Mary’s music has been variously described as alternative rock\, punk\, post-punk\, power pop\, and/or plain old indie rock\, but her mix of sounds is no accident. Mary simply loves rock and roll. All of it.\n \nMary will be celebrating the release of her new album and her recent #1 worldwide RIA single “Least of All Her” (Hygh Tension Records (TLG)/Virgin Music Group) with her band The Garage\, featuring members of Soul Asylum\, The Melismatics\, Ultrabomb\, The Mood Swings\, and Outta Coentro.—The Customers are a rock band formed in Los Angeles\, CA in 1995 by Ryan Sexton. A demo of Sexton’s songs found its way onto the desk of Neil Young’s manager\, Elliot Roberts\, who was then in the process of launching Young’s fledgling label\, Vapor Records. Roberts enquired as to whether a band might be formed to support the songs\, and The Customers were born.\n \nAfter moving back to Minneapolis (Sexton’s hometown) in 2000\, The Customers released the five song EP Severybuddyappy which included the college-friendly “Until Now.” A bunch of years passed while Sexton pursued other interests\, but writing songs nevertheless. In 2022\, he teamed up with renowned Minneapolis producer\, Kevin Bowe\, to make the post-punk/Americana LP\, Sweet Fatality. The album features appearances by Daniel Murphy (Soul Asylum/The Scarlet Goodbye)\, Terrance J. Fisher (Run Westy Run)\, Ivan Julian (Richard Hell and the Voidoids)\, Patricia Lacy (Luther Vandross)\, and Minneapolis phenoms John Eller\, Terry Isachsen\, Peter Anderson\, Pat Frederick\, Ian Prince\, and Noah Levy.\n \nThe band is set to go back into the studio to record a new EP tentatively titled “Living Like Gods.” The record will be produced by Daniel Murphy (Soul Asylum/The Scarlet Goodbye).\n—The Silent Treatment\nGet ready to dive into the raw\, high energy punk rock of The Silent Treatment. It’s Minneapolis rock and roll at its finest writing music that draws from the seedy underbelly. And with a band full of scene vets that sustain full-throttle energy for some complicated fun\, it’s not to be missed. After playing numerous local venues and festivals\, they are taking their recklessly fun live show regionally and nationally.\n \nThe band recently released their first full-length album\, Suplex in 10! (2024). Recorded at The Terrarium Studio\, it features unapologetic provocative lyrics with a stripped-down sound and an intensity as subtle as a car crash.\n \nThe group has shared stages with Agent Orange\, Henry Cluney of Stiff Little Fingers\, International punk supergroup Ultrabomb (Greg Norton -Hüsker Dü\,  Finny McConnell -The Mahones\, and Jamie Oliver -UK Subs)\, Dion Lunadon of The D4\, The dB’s\, Venus DeMars and All the Pretty Horses\, and many more. They receive regular airplay on The Current 89.3 FM\, KFAI 90.3 FM\, KVSC 88.1 FM\, and WITR 89.7 FM and have been featured on Racket’s “10 Best Songs of 2024\,” with their track\, “Hulk Hogan is a Dick” as well as being featured on The Current’s Scouting Report.

For More Information visit www.ZenArcadeTHC.com \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n EVENT DESCRIPTION \n\n \n \n\n \n \nAurelio Voltaire \nw/ Stranger Gallery —–\n\n“What if Johnny Cash made folks songs for vampires?” The answer might very well describe the music of Aurelio Voltaire. \n\n \nOften described as a modern day renaissance man\, Voltaire is an accomplished singer/ performer\, author\, creator of films\, animation\, toys and home decor.  \n\n \nAs an internationally touring musician for nearly 30 years\, he is at the forefront of the Gothic and Dark Cabaret genres and has consistantly headlined some of the biggest horror\, sci-fi and comic book conventions. Known for mixing mirth with the macabre\, his music is a vast collection of fun songs about frightful topics. Perhaps that is why he has become such a fan favorite around Halloween\, a time of year where his sizable audience doubles its listeners and his dark ditties appear on everyone’s Halloween playlists. Walk through a Spirit Halloween and you’re bound to hear a few of his songs\, like Brains! Or Land of the Deadfrom the Cartoon Network show The Grim Adventures of Billy And Mandy. \n\n \nMany know him for his songs from the viral animated videos of Daria Cohen’s Vampairseries (The Night\, Land of the Dead\, Zombie Prostitute\, Stuck with You\, Raised by Bats and Chupando) that have a combined 80 million views on Youtube.  \n\n \nOver his thirty year career\, Aurelio Voltaire has released 13th full-length studio albums. His most recent release\, an EP called\, The Last Halloween Party features It’s Always Wednesday (about that spooky Addams girl) as well as The Skeleton Dance which has an Oogie Boogie-like big band sound that recalls Voltaire’s earlier work for The Cartoon Network.  \n\n \nIn 2025\, Aurelio Voltaire is working on a Summerween album of spooky surf\, ska\, reggae and rockabilly songs and is planning a release of his greatest Halloween Hits for the fall.  \n\n \nWhen not touring or recording\, Aurelio Voltaire can be seen in his informative and hilarious Youtube series\, Gothic Homemaking. Like a young Vincent Price taking over for Martha Stewart\, he demonstrates how to turn a boring home into a Gothic lair with the help of his desiccated co-host\, Orville Deadenbacher and a bunch of other recurring monster characters. \n\n \nThe New York Times did a feature on Aurelio Voltaire and the Gothic Homemaking show calling him\, “The Martha Stewart of Macabre Homemakers” and “a lifestyle guru to people who embrace spookiness in all seasons.” The popularity of the show also lead to a book deal with Quarto Books/Epic Ink. Aurelio Voltaire’s book\, Gothic Life- The Essential Guide to Macabre Style hit bookstores everywhere on August 13th\, 2024. \n\n \nAurelio Voltaire has also just completed his first horror feature film\, The Demonatrix. In his directorial debut in which Voltaire also stars\, a priest comes to the aid of a dominatrix when she accidentally summons an incubus demon. The film stars Hannah Fireman (V/H/S)\, Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) and Larry Fessenden (Killers of the Flower Moon). The incubus demon is played by Skinny Puppy frontman\, Nivek Ogre (Repo\, the Genetic Opera\, The Devil’s Carnival) in a demon make up effects suit made by the same team that worked on DelToro’s Hellboy\, Ghostbusters Afterlife\, Star Trek Beyond and Cabinet of Curiosities. The film is expected to hit film festivals in the fall of 2025.

This has given them a unique perspective on writing both as a team and on music in general\, plus insight into persevering and forging your own path in an unforgiving industry. They added Andy Sutton in 2015 to fully solidify their unique\, energetic\, and ever-evolving sound. Kris and Andy are not only the core rhythm section for ‘stop.drop.rewind’\, but have backed up premier artists on hundreds of performances in the Chicagoland area and nationwide (Marbin\, Slim Gambill of Lady A\, Kofi Baker\, Joe Marcinek and more).

The Combo will be performing a FULL night of music from these two iconic funk artists. \nWorld renowned Dr. Mambo’s Combo has been performing weekly at Bunkers Music Bar & Grill since 1987 — one of the longest running weekly residencies anywhere in America. The band quickly became Prince’s favorite — playing soul\, rock\, and r&b music with unmatched passion and fire – and audiences have flocked to their weekly performances ever since. In addition to Prince\, many national touring artists often stop by to sit in with the band after their own show —including John Mayer\, Sheila E\, Questlove\, Stokley\, Larry Graham\, and Bonnie Raitt. \nDr. Mambo’s Combo’s ‘Let Me Have it All’ features a diverse collection of songs across the many eras and styles of these amazing trendsetting artists. Sly Stone rose to popularity with Woodstock era hits ‘Everyday People’ & ‘I Want to Take You Higher’\, and took a surprise turn in the early 70’s with the genre defining funk of ‘Family Affair’ and ‘If You Want Me to Stay’. \n\nRufus and Chaka Khan were one of the most popular and influential funk bands of the 1970s\, with four consecutive number-one R&B albums\, ten top 40 pop hits and five number-one R&B singles including ‘Tell Me Something Good’\, ‘Sweet Thing’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody’.\n \n\nThe current band lineup features Julius Collins and Margaret Cox on lead vocals\, Sonny Thompson on bass\, Brian Ziemniak on keys\, Geoff LeCrone on guitar and Peter Suttman on drums. Joining the band for this special performance are The Bangbang Horns (Peter Vircks & Riley Helgeson). \n\n\n\n \n\nThank you to our sponsors\, partners\, & neighbors: \nSummit Brewing • DuNord Social Spirits • RKR Ganja Beverages • Nobool Presents • KFAI 90.3FM • Mpls.St.Paul Magazine • The Zen Arcade • Longfellow Rising • Lake Street Council • Minnesota State Arts Board • Moon Palace Books • Arbeiter Brewing\n\n \nThe Award-Winning* Under the Canopy series at The Hook & Ladder Theater returns with its uniquely seasonal urban footprint to the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis in 2025. *Voted Best in MN 2021 by Star Tribune readers.\n \nThe Hook has committed to having a food truck Under the Canopy throughout the 2025 season for our guests.
