Minnesota Yacht Club at Harriet Island (July 17-19, 2026)

We recently had to upgrade W♥M due to running low on storage. As part of the upgrade, we can now host video files width “unlimited bandwidth”. This post is to just test out the video option. I do not plan on hosting videos on this website, this is just strictly a test to see how well it performs, etc.

Here is a very brief video of Bugsy (Emily Schoonover) asking the audience to say ‘Yippee’, from their appearance at the Minnesota Yacht Club in July 2024. What an unforgettable music festival. And just a reminder that the third annual Minnesota Yacht Club will take place on July 17-19, 2026 at Harriet Island.

Matt & Kim

There are many bands on the 2026 lineup (see below), but one name would really benefit from a large audience – and that is the profanity and musical party powerhouse Matt & Kim. They are such a fun duo to see live, they really feed off the energy of the crowd and I think they will have a blast at this show. We saw them in Aug 2015 and said, “They [Matt & Kim] were described as “dance party”, and it wasn’t until I saw them in person in Minneapolis in 2012 that I absolutely believed it. Of all the shows I saw in 2012, that one stood out as easily one of my highlight. We’ve seen them again at Rock the Garden in 2014, and a couple of things you should know about this party band: 1. Kim does this walking on people bit, 2. They go from zero to one hundred percent, 3. They have potty mouths (esp Kim), 4. Plenty of confetti, and 5. Just have a good time. Don’t over analyze their songs or question their singing abilities, you’re missing the point if you do. I had a lot of fun, and I think the audience did too. Some new gimmick they did tried for this show was getting everyone to blow up balloons and then tossing them up in the air. They also brought out a parachute and had people holding it up (wasn’t quite sure this one worked as well as they intended).”
