The longest day of the year deserves something special.
Join us to celebrate the summer solstice on our rooftop. We’ll be open an hour later than normal on Thursday, June 21st & we’re offering 1/2 price pints of our flagship beers from 9-10pm.
Performer and songmaker, Kyle Ollah, will also be playing music on the rooftop from 5-8pm (weather permitting). He is a multi-instrumentalist folk musician based out of Duluth, Minnesota. Hear him solo or alongside an array of good friends.

Kyle sits in with Charlie Parr from time-to-time, and also had the good fortune of recording fiddle and banjo on Parr’s 2016 Red House Records release, “I Ain’t Dead Yet”. You can also hear him performing old standbys from the 1920’s-30’s with MPLS musician, Mumblin’ Drew, or fiddling for dances in old barns and out-halls across the Upper-Midwest with Merila Hill String Band and Four Mile Portage.

He regularly performs solo or duo acoustic shows and creates his own blend of “acoustic eclectic”. On stage live is where he is most at home.

Enjoy craft beer, appetizers, and live music at Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Influences like Amos Lee, Martin Sexton, U2 and Eddie Vedder taught Josh to see everyday life through the eyes of music. The joy in writing music, for Josh, is learning to find the gems, the memorable elements, in sometimes unexpected parts of life. Whether these are funny, sad, profound or seemingly random, his mission is to capture within them something familiar and essential.
In his own words: “I want my music to mean something. I want, if only for a moment, my songs to connect my story to the stories of those listening. Heart to heart, beat for beat.”

Enjoy live music, cold craft beer, and tasty appetizers at Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Gene and Amy have been writing and performing together since 2012 and moved to the North Shore of Lake Superior in August of 2014 Their emphasis is on acoustic style duet performances of their original songs as well as unique renditions of some of their favorite artists from Dylan to dirt old country.
Gene LaFond has been writing and performing for over 50 years. He has opened for Bob Dylan and has performed original songs twice, with his pal the late Larry Kegan, at Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit Concert (a songwriter showcase put on in San Francisco by Neil for nearly 30,000 fans to raise money for the Bridge School for Disabled Children).
Gene has played numerous venues throughout the years in the Twin Cities as well as a dozen or more times with renowned violinist Scarlet Rivera. Gene has also performed and traveled with legendary folk musician Ramblin Jack Elliott.
Former cowgirl and junk artist Amy Grillo began singing around the campfires and in the bars and music venues of Minnesota’s Iron Range. Her ear for harmony and a good story are what give her songs a unique, earthy and relatable feel. Her sweet harmonies and lyrical talent are a perfect compliment to Gene’s vocal and guitar picking style.

Live Music: Matt Griswold
2018-08-10 16:00 - 19:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Live Music, craft beer, tasty appetizers and a view of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Minnesota based Folk-Rock singer/songwriter and active musicologist, Matthew Griswold, is currently playing hundreds of his modern day minstrel-like shows each year. Though a “solo” performer in trade title, he carries a chorus of layered guitars and an array of dynamic vocal themes. Those elements are all then supported by a boot strapped foot stomping on a cigar box foot drum keeping a sacred element to the music.
Griswold’s performances are rugged, haunting, howling, bone-shaking affairs where all of the grit and soul of a man who has seen the war torn battlefields of Iraq, yet still sought hope after the worst of it’s tragedies, are brought forth through one voice and one guitar. He confidently leaves his crowds cradled in subtleties, but rocked with an undeniable presence. Those who witness him live, will experience a musician who inhabits, and is inhabited by, his music as if it were a spiritual transformation allowing him to become a fearless poet calling out through a cadence and dancing in the dragon’s den.
He has crafted an arrangement style of his own (“Hypno-tonic Grooves”), which he employs to reinvent classics, adapt traditional standards, and plug original work that stand in tribute to their deep lineage. With a well-honed talent, ego-less work ethic, and applied insights of ethnomusicology tilting the odds in his favor, Griswold has become one of the country’s most active independent working musicians. He has over ten years of strategic millage marked by thousands of live performances and hundreds of intriguing press features. Just barely in his 30s, he continues to build a dense catalog of works to be preserved by those he proudly refers to as “Witnesses of a Fellowship”.
Griswold has gained both industry notoriety and scholar respect as a Contemporary Folk music maker, and while having had many of his original songs and compositions used in various films, TV shows and commercials around the world through an elite contract with Universal Music Publishing, no matter where you find footing, you’re never far from someone who has likely been spellbound by the sounds that flow beside the howling edge of his hopeful hymns.
