🎵  Marv's Music Mail  🎶

Hello All,

Welcome to the Newsletter for July 2026!

It was a beautiful day for a big outdoor show at the Winstock Country Music Festival on June 20th. Check out the photo above. The Shane Martin Band opened the show doing a mostly original set on the mainstage, with Luke Bryan closing out the festival later that evening. You can catch the band again, doing their Songs of the South Alabama Tribute show in Delano Central Park this Saturday, July 4th. Delano is having one of the biggest July 4th celebrations in the state, celebrating 150 years as a city and our country's 250th. Happy Birthday to Delano and the U.S.A.!! We'll be playing following the parade with many more great musical acts to follow on two stages!

The Kaatwalk band had a fantastic sold out show last week at the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis, celebrating the release of the EP A Week In June. Many Kaatwalk favorites were performed along with an in sequence performance of the EP. Thanks so much to everyone that came out! If you missed the show you can now download or stream the EP from your favorite digital service. Better yet, come to MC's Tap House in Brooklyn Park this Thursday July 2nd to see the Kaatwalk duo perform the EP along with many more original songs. CD's of the EP will be available along with newly designed themed t-shirts. Kaat has been getting very nice reviews of the EP from around the country and has been busy doing interviews including one with one of my favorite local DJs Brian Oake on his podcast: https://lnns.co/fNp-3VGHtF0 (Brian Oake Show Ep. 584) and a couple of periodicals in the UK.

In the middle of July Marv & Kaat will be going on a western tour. Heading to Brookings SD for a couple of sets at the Brookings Summer Arts Festival, followed by a show at a local venue called Skinner's Pub. From there we'll be off to Montana for a couple of pop up shows. Should be quite an adventure. For closer to home shows, check out the schedule below for shows over a wide swath of Minnesota.

The list below is everything that is planned so far for July. Please check the website and click on the STAGE link for updates to the schedule. Thanks so much for your interest in and support of the music.  Hope to see you soon at one of the shows!

Peace & Love,

MG.
