Minneapolis

Friko at Fine Line (05-22-2025)

Downtown was quiet with no ravenous sports fans or torrential rain filling the streets. In fact, it was a perfect night to stroll to a venue. Even better was the casual scene at the velvet rope as the person in front of me and a Fine Line staffer shared a bonding moment for the patron wore a baseball cap with Snoopy donning headphones and the staffer sported a Snoopy flying ace tattoo on his left arm.

Snoopy has found much love with the Gen Z generation and it was a young crowd that waited for one of the hottest bands out of Chicago (Friko) to take the stage.

Trousdale at Fine Line (05-06-2025)

Downtown Minneapolis was abuzz with Twins fans streaming into Target Field, Sturgill Simpson holding down the fort at the Armory and Wolves fans showing up early at the Target Center for a playoff series against the Warriors. And at the Fine Line, a completely different fan base all dressed up in sparkles and bright colors, showing up early to cheer on a trio from the Golden State.
