BEMIDJI — KAXE/KBXE is pleased to present a free show on Thursday, May 1, with Chastity Brown and Dilly Dally Alley at Bemidji’s newest venue, the Loft Event Center.
Doors open at 5 p.m. for the one-night party, where community members can “Get Downtown with KBXE” for an evening of great music.
Brown is a celebrated Americana soul singer with a powerful and impactful voice and expansive melodies. Tennessee born, Brown has lived in Minneapolis for many years and has been a listener favorite on KAXE during her career, and her set at Grand Rapids Riverfest in 2022 solidified that status.
Dilly Dally Alley is an up and coming indie-pop, jazz-adjacent collective in Minneapolis. Having released their debut album in 2023, they joined the lineup of Mississippi Music during the summer of 2024 in Bemidji.
Music starts at 6 p.m., but space at the Loft is limited, so first-come, first-in!
Bar service will be available at the venue, with after-party drinks planned at Keg ‘n’ Cork.
Music presented by KAXE/KBXE is made possible by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment and the voters of Minnesota.

Contributed/Erin HaefeleWhen the garden or farmers market gives you everything at once, the best way to handle it is to return to the fundamentals: roast, grill, bake, pickle, can, dry, freeze and sauté. These aren’t just methods, they’re survival tools during harvest season. Especially grilling. Because it’s summer. And everything tastes better with a little char and a lot of butter.This week, Amy and Heidi talked to Erin Haefele of Green Scene in Walker, Minnesota, "a charming food haven nestled in the heart of rural northern Minnesota where small-town warmth meets big-city sophistication." Erin inspires us with simple preparations to deliciously fresh garden ingredients. And we hear from Amy's friend Beth Friedrichson from Wisconsin, who gushes about dilly beans and life on the farm with chickens and alpacas.Lots of folks phoned in to talk about their harvests, whether it was peonies in Stillwater, garlic near Detroit Lakes, urban front yard CSAs in Minneapolis, potato varieties in Deer River or stuffed grape leaves in Chicago, you had a story to tell. Share yours! This week's community recipe to cook along with us is Onion Pie: kaxe.org/community-recipe-onion-pie-ham-radio-amy-thielen.
