Featured Artists
Keyboardist Max Devick will be perform with Stella October 14, 2023 on Midco Stage in downtown Fargo. Check out his new album “The Mind of Max.”
Saxaphonist Miss Emma has the distinction of being our first guest artist. She premiered November 12-13, 2021 at the VFW in Downtown Fargo. Emma is studying music at MSUM. She also plays piano and sings.
Drummer Mark Boetel sat in with the band December 9 – 10, 2022 at Speck’s.
Mark, an entomologist, is a researcher at NDSU. In the wild, plant pests refer to him as “Dr. Death.”
We think he’s quite harmless. Either way, he’s a musical groove machine.
Dave is a highly sought keyboard player, performing with Dan Brekke and a number of other Fargo cover bands. Known for his improvisation skills, Dave is a tremendous asset to any group. We were lucky to snag him through the summer 2023 Lakes season, while he rehearsed his next project. Look for Dave’s new band DECADES.
