It looks like Neal Francis has decided to book the Turf Club, in St Paul, ahead of his Music Festival appearance at Lake Effect Music Fest, in Wisconsin. That’s good news for the Twin Cities.
It also looks like Daisychain will open. The band was previously in town a few months ago, in July 25, 2025, which we wrote, “Up next was the headliner, Chicago based band Daisychain. The band, with Nickole Regala (vocals, bass), Frankie Sripada (guitar), and Sophia Williams (guitar, backing vocals), was touring in support of their debut full length album, All in a Name, released in June 2025. With a drummer in tow, the quartet went to work with their psych rock sound. Motel was a strong opener, with Regala’s vocals a silky smooth intro for the band. But we also quickly got dual vocals with Williams regularly joining in on fantastic harmonies or dual leads. G String had excellent harmonies both vocally and musically on guitar. I also really dug the band’s stage presence, with a slightly more hard core take. With Williams taking lead vocals, it was a slight change, but also allowed Regala to own the lower end on bass and Sripada to shred on a mid-song solo. Waste Your Time was an absolute head banger, with a bit of retro rock feel.”
