Tripwire Fargo Bluestem Center for the Arts August 30
MOORHEAD — The showtime Sister Cities Smokeout fires up Thursday, Aug. 29, at Moorhead's Bluestem Amphitheater, bringing together touring musicians and pitmasters for one last lip-smacking celebration of summertime nutrient and music.
Cooks from Missouri, Mississippi and Fargo-Moorhead will have grills and smokers ready in the Bluestem Meadow, serving upwardly savory chunks of wood-fired favorites, like brisket, ribs, chicken, pork and whatever number of side dishes.
Each of the mainstage musical acts have a season of their ain, as well. Using barbecue terms, here'south how we would describe the major acts playing the two-solar day festival that will continue Fri, Aug. 30.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
Before he formed The Meat Sweats, errr… the Night Sweats, in Denver, Rateliff grew up in St. Louis, where two of the pitmasters, Sugarfire Smoke House and Pappy'due south Smokehouse, also come from — so chances are he knows a thing or two about barbecue. Locals saw the ring bring the heat when they sold out Bluestem last summer, bringing a stiff mix of rock and soul to the phase. And yes, information technology was sweaty.
In light of the group'southward name and the fact that he leaves information technology all on the stage with an energetic bear witness, salty would be an appropriate way to describe this group.
Little Big Town
Playing off the 1-two punch of singers Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman, Footling Big Town has always played on a remainder between fun ("Pontoon," "Day Drinking") and feisty ("Picayune White Church") for a blend that is sweet and sassy.
Trampled By Turtles
Imagine sitting effectually a bivouac in the north woods of Minnesota, with friends picking abroad at guitars, banjos, mandolins and a fiddle. That's the folksy approach Trampled brings to their music, but the string band plays with a fiery intensity and their harmonies rise and fly like embers from the flames.
Montgomery Gentry
Eddie Montgomery has always been kind of crusty, and that's non a bad thing. The singer has always seemed a little crude around the edges, ready to throw down for a fight or pick up his feet and dance. He can be nostalgic, recalling the way things used to be — and big and boisterous in doing so.
Caitlyn Smith
The Cannon Falls, Minn., native may be best known for writing for other artists (Meghan Trainor'southward "Like I'1000 Gonna Lose You" and Cassadee Pope's "Wasting All These Tears"), merely her own unmarried, "Starfire," is a ho-hum, smoldering burn.
Chris Hawkey
Perhaps better known for his work on Twin Cities sports radio — he produces broadcasts for the Minnesota Vikings — the onetime frontman for Rocket Club has a vox that'due south merely equally rich and shine on air as it is on the stage, kind of a caramelized sound.
Kind State
Akin to Trampled Past Turtles, this cord ring has bluegrass roots and jam band tendencies, resulting in a kind of jamgrass sound, similar to pot likker, the juices left in a pot afterward cooking a dish.
Tripwire
Fargo's favorite ring has developed a reputation for annihilation goes, high-intensity shows. They'll play covers from the terminal twoscore years with members changing instruments and sometimes jumping on mini trampolines, giving their sets a chopped energy.
