MoonCats have kept the fun in North Dakota’s music scene for all ages since 2018.

Saturday, August 15th
Doors: 6 PM
Show: 7 PM
Thomas Sticha (pronounced “stee-ka”) is a Minnesota-based country-folk artist who has blazed his own trail in the scene over the last two years. His songwriting is thoughtful and clever, often paired with imaginative storytelling and disarming humor. With four new singles in 2025 and plenty more on the way, Thomas and his band are positioned well to breakout as an emerging Midwest country-folk act in 2026.
The pairing of his two singles “Mississippi Down” and “Then It’s Gone” both perfectly exemplify his musical range as a songwriter, as a recording artist, and as a live-show performer.
justin clyde williams
w/ jim bachmann
Friday, August 21st
Doors: 6 PM
Show: 7 PM
Justin Clyde Williams writes songs. Sometimes he writes them with his buddies. Armed with a flattop or backed by a full band, Justin Clyde Williams takes listeners on an emotional journey with his songs and stories you can relate to no matter where you call home. Capturing the full spectrum of life, the good times and bad , most of his songs you’ll hear serve as a soundtrack to his now experiences with love, death, heartache and that one time he “ate a little bit too much of that gummy bear”.
Raised on sounds between bluegrass and rock ’n roll with a variety of influences, when he’s not performing himself, it’s not uncommon to see Clyde playing sideman for one of his buddies or appearing alongside Tyler Hatley in The Dick and Tammy Show.
Justin Clyde Williams always leaves people wanting more with an unwavering experience that is blunt, therapeutic, candid and above all - unforgettable.
gabriel douglas
Saturday, August 22nd
Doors: 6 PM
Show: 7 PM
Gabriel Douglas has built his reputation on the churning, heavy-thumping blues rock of the 4onthefloor, whose sound is defined as much by his wild man warrior-bellow vocals as it is by the steady pulse of the four members’ synchronous bass-drum thuds—but a delve into the corners of his catalog reveals an artist with a startling breadth of interests. The man keeps busy, holding down gigs in several stylistically distinct groups while regularly performing and recording solo. The solo shows let the guttural howls show through and the songs breathe new lives as stripped down road songs.
