The annual free* Lakeside Guitar Festival event will be taking place August 11-13, 2023, at the Historic Como Lakeside Pavilion, a lakefront community Artis oasis in Saint Paul.
The lineup for Friday’s show will feature:
- Brothers in Mud
- The Mood Swings
- Charlie Parr
We previously caught The Mood Swings in March 2023 and wrote, “To be perfectly honest, I was rather excited to see The Mood Swings. The band, featuring Ashley Ackerson and Sallie Watson, had not released anything new since 2009’s Recessionista. While the band would play on and off gigs, it seemed like they are fairly inactive since 2009.”

with Eva Under Fire and Lines of Loyalty
at Fine Line

Michigan-based hard rock group Pop Evil is out on tour in support of their album Skeletons.
In discussing the album, frontman Leigh Kakaty said, “This is about us as a band stripping everything down to the bones. It’s more uptempo, it’s got bigger riffs, and we’re trying to capture the energy of our live show.”
“But it’s also a positive message,” he adds. “I know it’s a morbid visual, but behind every skeleton, there’s a story and something worth talking about. Overall, it’s about looking at something in a positive way. And I’m excited for everyone to hear that.”
Eva Under Fire and Lines of Loyalty to open.
