Admittedly, we’re not great about capturing content at our shows. Thankfully, a lovely soul captured this rad photo in Akeley MN on Saturday. A huge thank you to Kellie and her crew for welcoming us, and all of you who sang along until the very last note. Also - a special shout out to Matthew Kirkwold for filling in on bass!
