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.
