Enjoy a beautiful summer evening at Grand Forks’ longest-running outdoor music series. For the last 17 years, the Museum’s Concerts in the Garden has attracted devoted fans from around the region for evenings of great music and food. Guests arrive with lawn chairs and blankets to catch nationally touring bands as they zig-zag the country playing clubs and festivals. This summer’s line-up is as powerful as ever. From Blues powerhouse Joslyn and the Sweet Compression to stripped down solo troubadours like Brett Newski and Christopher Paul Stelling, the series is certain to please. In addition to great music, guests can enjoy food hot off the grill, root beer floats, and a cash bar.

Wisconsin indie rock mainstay Brett Newski & the Bad Inventions bring a collision of alt-country, Tom Petty, & 90’s alternative rock on their latest LP, ameriCONa. Newski is back with satirical humor, contrarian ethos, & the knack for creating anthems for outliers. Newski shows flourishes of Bob Dylan & Jonathan Richman, with production in the vein of Velvet Underground. Newski has played alongside bands like Violent Femmes, Pixies, Nada Surf, Guster, Gin Blossoms, Better than Ezra, and Barenaked Ladies. The band has received praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, Boston Globe, NBC, Billboard and SPIN.
