She has also collaborated with multiple bands including The International Treasures (Midwest Country Music Song of the Year Nominee)\, The Josh Cleveland Band (The Voice)\, The Twins of Franklin\, The Foxgloves (MCMO Americana Artist of the Year Nominee)\, and Katy Tessman and the Turnbuckles resulting in a catalogue of music that brings the pedal harp to unusual unexpected genres of Bluegrass\, Pop and Folk. \nNikki Lemire spins her life around her music\, making space to perform in multiple fields and genres. Her songwriting features her expressive vocals over layered and hypnotic accompaniment. She dives deep into moving themes surrounding motherhood\, love and loss. \nEmploying modern harp techniques\, loop and electric pedals\, her songs sit somewhere between the old folk bedrock of Joan Baez\, the musical innovation of Joni Mitchell\, and the influential pop stylings of Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift. Nikki artfully shapes the music to her words\, creating a sound that refuses to adhere to any one particular genre\, somehow feeling old and new at the same time. \nNikki performs as a solo artist and with her four piece all-female band of fiddle\, upright bass and hand drums weaving intricate textures and harmonies within her luscious soundscape. \nAs featured on Smouse in the House for Adventures in Americana\, Nikki reflects on her musical roots and the legacy passed down through her family. She shares how music has become a thread connecting generations — from her own childhood to her children today — and how performing and storytelling remain central to her connection with community and family. \nMeet TJD: \nTaylor James Donskey is a lover and writer of songs. He is known for his work in the Minneapolis/St.Paul music scene as a side-man bassist\, music instructor\, host and soloist. He works to foster growth & connection through music. His songs tell stories of the everyday folks; stories set in the comfortable American styles of folk\, alt-country\, rock and indie. \nAbsorbing the sounds of the many bands he’s played in The Lowland Lakers\, Lena Elizabeth\, The Gentlemen’s Anti-Temperance League\, Barbaro\, Donskey has carved a unique spot for himself in the Twin Cities music scene that includes elements of pop\, bluegrass\, folk and jazz. \nRaised in La Crosse\, Wisconsin and influenced by his time in the Driftless Region\, he picked up the bass at 14 and began his life as a sideman. He played in pop punk bands and school jazz combos. He sang in choirs and played trumpet\, trombone\, percussion and most importantly\, the bass. This led him to playing paid gigs in high school\, sitting in with his uncle’s cover band. \n“I had to learn nearly two hours of rock cover songs\,” Donskey says. Playing music by Bowie\, Petty\, Harrison and McCartney left its mark. “A lot of that music had incredible bass lines like I’d never really heard. It really inspired me.” \nRecognizing his talent\, his uncle gave him a Sigma acoustic guitar. “He bought it in the seventies\, and I’ve continued to play it. A relentless old companion\, it has followed me wherever I go\, and it is the instrument from which many of my songs have grown.” \nHis next step is the sophomore album “JoyRide” which literally hits the gas as an exciting ride through the classic rock idioms. \nWhen not busy performing his own music or touring\, he teaches ukulele\, piano\, electric bass\, upright bass\, guitar\, songwriting\, music theory and voice. \n“Teaching is my great joy\,” he says. “I’ve watched my students grow into far more intelligent creatures than I. I am endlessly excited for what they do next” \nTaylor is also the songwriter and creative force behind the group Darling Lily Gave.

His impressive bio is worth a read. \nFriday\, March 6 • 7pm \nTickets:\nAdult: $17/$20\nYouth 11-17: 1/2 price\nKids 10 & under: ALWAYS FREE \nMeet Louis: \nLouis Michot is best known as the fiddle player and lead singer for the Lost Bayou Ramblers\, but his passions for Louisiana French\, local folklore\, and sustainability in the fastest-disappearing landmass in the world are what fuel his career as a musician. With two Grammy Awards\, six film scores and over 20 LPs under his belt\, his music career continues to push the boundaries of Louisiana French music traditions. \nIn 2025\, Louis embarks on his first major solo tours\, supporting the release of SEAUXLEAUX\, an audio and video album recorded at Dockside Studio by Tony Daigle. The recording represents Louis’ live solo shows\, a dynamic performance featuring guitar\, fiddle\, voice and an effected-samples stomp box\, with a collection of songs that tell his stories and those of the Louisiana French experience. The SEAUXLEAUX tour will visit both U.S. coasts\, along with shows in the South beyond his artistic home of New Orleans\, with 30 dates across the U.S. and Canada\, scheduled between tours with the Lost Bayou Ramblers and Louis Michot & SWAMP MAGIC\, as well as collaborations with Leyla McCalla and other Louisiana artists. \nIn 2024\, the Lost Bayou Ramblers kicked off the year with their second Grammy win for Live: Orpheum Theater NOLA\, a collaboration with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Louis also received six nominations in New Orleans’s Best of the Beat Awards\, including Artist of the Year\, Album of the Year\, and Song of the Year for “Boscoyo Fleaux. \n” He rang in the Mardi Gras season as king of the Krewe of Joan of Arc\, then entered his second year performing with Louis Michot & SWAMP MAGIC\, a four-piece band featuring Michot on fiddle\, accordion\, guitar\, and vocals; Evan Ceaser on drums; the Ramblers’ Jonny Campos on pedal steel; and Bryan Webre on bass\, synths\, and samples. Rêve du Troubadour\, Michot’s solo debut\, released in 2023\, includes special guests: Nigerien Tuareg guitarist Bombino and critically acclaimed singer and multi-instrumentalist Leyla McCalla. He began work on the album by tracking original songs in his dry-docked houseboat\, Sister Ray\, during lockdown. Recording was completed at Mark Bingham’s Piety Studio\, engineered and mixed by the Ramblers’ Kirkland Middleton. In 2021\, Michot faced the unique challenge of trying to perform live during a pandemic\, while also leading hurricane-relief efforts (covered in a Rolling Stone article\, “Can This Cajun-Punk Musician Protect His Culture From Climate Change?”) and raised funds to provide solar panels and generators to homes in rural Louisiana after Hurricane Ida (covered in The New Yorker’s “The Lost Bayou Ramblers Get Lit”). \nLouis was named Louisianian of the Year in 2020\, alongside his brother\, Andre. The previous year\, the Lost Bayou Ramblers celebrated their 20th anniversary with a live album and documentary DVD release\, Asteur/On Va Continuer. The documentary aired around the world on the Francophone television network TV5Monde. This followed their first Grammy win\, for 2017’s Kalenda. A few years earlier\, Louis’s singing and playing were featured in the score for the Oscar-nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild.

We will be featuring the film\, “The Spirit of the Driftless”\, presented by Ryan Howe and members of Sustainable Driftless. Music by Mac & Katie\, Julie Patchouli\, and Ryan Howe\, three groups with deep connections to this beautiful region we call home! TWO shows – 3pm and 7pm. It’s always a special day\, and we hope you can come to be a part of it! \nFilm \nSpirit of the Driftless: The film takes audiences on an extraordinary journey—soaring with raptors\, hiking rugged bluffs\, paddling quiet waters\, exploring archaeological features\, and venturing into hidden caves. It truly embodies the Spirit of the Driftless. The movie is dedicated to George Howe\, a founder of Sustainable Driftless\, Inc.\, who led the filming expeditions but passed away in February 2024 before the editing was complete. \n“It is a fitting tribute to George to finalize the film project he was so passionate about\,” said Tim Jacobson\, president of Sustainable Driftless. “His spirit lives on through this film and the causes he championed.” \nSpirit of the Driftless offers a fresh perspective on the landscape\, with a different feel and flavor from its predecessor. Decoding the Driftless earned a regional Emmy\, more than 20 film festival awards (including some internationally)\, and continues to air widely on PBS.

We will be featuring the film\, “The Spirit of the Driftless”\, presented by Ryan Howe and members of Sustainable Driftless. Music by Mac & Katie\, Julie Patchouli\, and Ryan Howe\, three groups with deep connections to this beautiful region we call home! TWO shows – 3pm and 7pm. It’s always a special day\, and we hope you can come to be a part of it! \nFilm \nSpirit of the Driftless: The film takes audiences on an extraordinary journey—soaring with raptors\, hiking rugged bluffs\, paddling quiet waters\, exploring archaeological features\, and venturing into hidden caves. It truly embodies the Spirit of the Driftless. The movie is dedicated to George Howe\, a founder of Sustainable Driftless\, Inc.\, who led the filming expeditions but passed away in February 2024 before the editing was complete. \n“It is a fitting tribute to George to finalize the film project he was so passionate about\,” said Tim Jacobson\, president of Sustainable Driftless. “His spirit lives on through this film and the causes he championed.” \nSpirit of the Driftless offers a fresh perspective on the landscape\, with a different feel and flavor from its predecessor. Decoding the Driftless earned a regional Emmy\, more than 20 film festival awards (including some internationally)\, and continues to air widely on PBS. It has been broadcast nearly 900 times in 42 states and Canada\, reaching a potential audience of more than 100 million viewers. \n“Our goal was to provide a new lens on the Driftless landscape\,” said Jonas Stenstrom\, director of Spirit of the Driftless. “I hope viewers everywhere will come away with a much deeper appreciation for this one-of-a-kind region.” \nMusic \nAbout Mac & Katie: \nMac Cherry\, Katie Henry and Mac Cherry have been playing the upper Mississippi River Valley for the last several years.
