Rafe Carlson

Fast-rising Country artist Rafe Carlson (pronounced RAYF) was only 22 years old when he left his job selling RVs in his hometown of Duluth, Minnesota and bought a one-way ticket to Nashville to bring his unique Northwoods edge to songwriting rooms up and down Music Row. 

Since then, the Midwest native has garnered over 65,000,000 views on social media, worked with Grammy-winning producers and prolific hit songwriters in Nashville, and landed endorsements with brands like Fender. Rafe has joined superstar acts on stage, like Jon Pardi, Jake Owen, Trace Adkins, Chris Janson, and dozens more, all while maintaining his unapologetic Skynyrd-esque attitude, and gritty Southern Rock-influenced sound. His most recent release out of Nashville, ‘Big City Lights,’ has seen radio play across the Upper Midwest on Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa country stations.

Rafe’s bloodline consists of carpenters, loggers, Vikings, home-builders, and WW2 soldiers. Joined by his cousins Steve and Dave Carlson on guitars, they continue to carry on their family legacy, and the American Spirit.

Molly and the Danger Band, with Special Guest Marlee Paine

The Danger Band formed in 2006 when Molly Otis built a stage on a three foot wide ledge, hovering eight feet above a glass top bar at the Pavilion in downtown Hayward WI. The ledge came to be known as the Danger Stage, which is where the band got its name.

The combination of musicians and talents has gelled into a distinct sound with fresh takes on Classic Rock, Country, Bluegrass and Americana. Add a twist of Celtic music to the mix and you have an infectious beat with soaring fiddle and mandolin solos.

This performance will feature singer/guitarist Marlee Paine.
