Artist Spotlight 📣 Cole - 🎟 link in bio - Fans of modern-era vanguards like Sharon Van Etten, Lissie, Soccer Mommy, or Lucy Dacus will be ever captivated by Cassandra’s effervescent pop-punk edge. Rolling Stone describes her debut album, “Steps” as “A pearl from another time interpreted with finesse and determination.”

Artist Spotlight 📣 Jillian Rae - 🎟 link in bio - Lauded as a “triple threat on vocals, fiddle and composition” (Star Tribune), Jillian Rae is a fiercely unique spirit who cares more about making authentic music than about conforming to expectations. The Minneapolis-based, classically trained violinist turned country fiddler has become a commanding international presence— writing powerful genre-bending songs, heading up her own critically acclaimed indie rock band, and backing up Grammy-winning acts like The Okee Dokee Brothers.

Dear MMC Community:

In August the MMC Board of Directors announced that after 13 amazing years, MMC will sunset as an organization. This was a difficult decision, however we felt it was the best path forward giving a myriad of circumstances.

To honor the hard work and dedication of MMC members and statewide musicians, partners, former staff and emeritus board members, we would like to invite you to a night of celebration! We are busy planning a fun night of music where we will also make a handful of announcements about MMC programming that will live on in new forms with other arts organizations throughout the state. We hope you will join us!

Please save the date for the evening of February 29, 2024 where we will celebrate in style at The Parkway Theater. Tickets will be on sale soon. All ticket proceeds will go directly to the artists and The Parkway Theater.

In other MMC news: our website will go dark before the end of the calendar year. Thanks to all of you who used it over the years! MMC's board continues to work toward dissolution, which will occur by the end of MMC's fiscal year in June of 2024.

With continued gratitude,

Brianna Kocka
MMC President and Board Chair
