Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kerry Alexander and Chris Hoge met in college and formed the band in 2012. In the 10 years of BBH, they have toured the country many times in their trusty minivan, sampling the best local cuisine along the way. Their fun and upbeat sound is sure to make you groove.
Yonder consists of band members who stem from a background in various local groups with intertwining histories: front women Hattie Peach (violinist, vocalist) and Emma Jeanne (rhythm guitar, vocalist) began experimenting as co-writers years ago as college roommates in Duluth, MN. Peach brings the folk flair to the band with a knack for lyrical storytelling that comes from a lifelong dedication to blood harmonies with her family group, The Penny Peaches. Emma Jeanne adds distorted punk rock guitar and searing lyrics fused with her witty songwriting. Sidestepping from his typical role as frontman and bassist of Lapdogs, Oliver Gerber returns to his true love, lead guitar. Hailing from Rochester, Dylan Hilliker holds down the ones and twos on drums in Greentop, Horse Tornado, and now Yonder. The latest addition, Calvin Carrison, of infamous jester-core group Big Delicious brings the bass.
The Penny Peaches consists of sisters Hattie and Grace Peach, who are “like the Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit without the accent.” Their peaceful sound and gorgeous harmonies ring out to any audience. According to the band, Glensheen is extra near and dear to Hattie, as she spent her college days working here as a tour guide and student gardener. We can’t wait to have her return!

Guests are encouraged to paddle or boat in to view the concert from the water or are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the show from the shore.
