FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023—KELLEY SMITH www.kelleysmithmusic.com
Minnesota folk musician Kelley Smith recently released her first record, Moon Child, just after her 40th birthday. A mother of four, the ups and downs of parenting, love, mental health and a global pandemic were catalysts for her songwriting and the making of a record. “Sure enough, her writing and singing are both full of soul. Absorb this and be moved.”—Americana UK
FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 2023—LUKE LEBLANC www.lukeleblanc.com
Luke LeBlanc is a Minneapolis singer-songwriter musician who delivers dynamic and unapologetically original performances of songs filled with heart, soul, and grit. He taught himself to play guitar at age 11 and at 13 won “Zimmy’s” national Dylan singer-songwriter competition in Hibbing, MN. “LeBlanc’s music is so delicate, understated and careful in its construction, that you forget that it’s taking apart how to live in such an unstable world, while giving solace and a place for rest.”—The Current
