Stephen Kellogg billed as Stephen Kellogg and The Homecoming is celebrating their countdown to their 3,000th show, playing the Turf Club, in St Paul on February 18, 2026.

If you need a night out and a full heart, here’s your chance to see Stephen Kellogg and his band. For more than two decades, this wordsmith, TEDx speaker, stand-up comic, and author has delighted audiences around the world. This time he’s joined by a full band as they count down to Stephen’s 3,000th performance.

STEPHEN KELLOGG

We saw Stephen Kellogg in March 2023 and wrote, “The evening began with another verbose and talented singer-songwriter, Connecticut’s Stephen Kellogg, out in support of his latest full-length, Keep It Up, Kid, released late last year. Kellogg started his forty-five-minute set with “Milwaukee” a song originally composed with his former band, The Sixers, then moved on to a trio of tracks from his 2018 release, Objects in the Mirror, peppering in lighthearted stories about coaching pickleball, his four kids, and his wife jokingly inquiring about how soon he’d be back on the road again. “It Goes Fast” was a touching song about the passage of time, “Love of my Life” was dedicated to anyone in the crowd on a date, and 2011’s “My Favorite Place” was a fan’s request about that location where you feel the most perfectly safe.”

Gutter Sinatra (aka songwriter and producer Don Miggs) to open.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter and producer Sam Westhoff, is Haffway, and he’ll be headlining the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on February 19, 2026.

HAFFWAY

We saw Haffway in March 2025 and wrote, “Just like that, as pre-concert music still played, Sam Westhoff, better known as HAFFWAY, stepped on stage like a substitute teacher about to take roll call. And like any good substitute teacher or singer-songwriter, he had a great patter. He apologized for coming on stage wearing snow pants, he said he was last in the Twin Cities playing at the great 7th Street Entry, and after he did a soulful rendition of Bruce Springsteins’s “I’m on Fire” he said, “I wrote that.” After the laughter died down, he added, “I wrote that when I was five.””

RYMAN to open.
