⊹

Minneapolis resident Nelson Devereaux is a saxophone and multi-wind instrument player who weaves old into new with exciting indie/instrumental pop sensibilities and dazzling technical abilities on multiple instruments. He has worked with Miley Cyrus, Bon Iver, Jungle, Lizzo, Mild High Club, Paul Cherry, The Hold Steady, Craig Finn and many more. His new record “three lights in the dark” is out Oct. 2 on NYC-based indie label Youngbloods.

Cody McKinney is a bassist, composer, improviser, and sound artist residing in the Twin Cities. He has been actively composing, recording, and performing since the mid-1990s. Some of McKinney’s recent works have been recorded by his contemporary trio, Bloodline.

Dave Power becomes the last missing puzzle piece in every ensemble he joins. Whether it's in one of his experimental/jazz ensembles, post-punk bands, or indie pop groups, he is forever at the service of the song, communicating with cohesion. In this chaotic world, Power finds the ability to place each note with care and nuance, giving the drum set a melodic voice. The true epitome of a working musician, Power has been a touring/studio drummer for over a decade and has toured nationally and internationally with bands such as The Staves, Aero Flynn, and Adelyn Rose. He currently plays in projects including Solid Gold, Cult Vibes, Bathtub Cig, PRINTS, 58 Belvedere, and Nelson Devereaux Trio.
