Doctors in Helicopters

Doctors in Helicopters is a musical duo formed by Obaid Khurram and Matt Fogarty. Their name comes from the debut Oasis single, highlighting the influence of British rock on their sound. DiH cover songs from bands such as The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Cure, Radiohead, Oasis, Death Cab for Cutie, and more, and play original progressive rock inspired by the bands that they cover. In 2021, it’s basically just neo-dad rock (dad bods not included). 

LaSonya

A group of like minded jazz and blues lovers, Madison Parish Ensemble brings the sultry sounds of the jazz scene from the classics to modern fusion of jazz and R&B and the Blues. This amazing ensemble was established in 2012 performing almost exclusively in the restaurant scene and private party sector to now branching out in the local party scene and outdoor markets. 

Hyooman

Hyooman is an Alternative/Indie Rock band from Minneapolis, MN. The band formed in October 2020 as the brainchild of songwriter Leng Moua who sought to make an album with his friend and former bandmate (now drummer) McCoy Seitz at McCoy’s studio, Casino Time. The band was later joined by Tamara Alswager, Dillon Marchus, and Elise Bremer. The band is somewhere in between the bedroom pop of Alex G and the 90s/early 2000s Alternative Indie rock sound such as Grandaddy or Built to Spill.
