FORWARD Concert Featuring Sleeping Jesus with Mike Munson & Mikkel Beckmen

Rochester Public Music is organizing this year’s 2026 FORWARD Park Concerts. FORWARD Park Concerts bring free live music to neighborhood parks across Rochester. Each event features local and regional artists, The Art Stop, the Rochester Public Library Bookmobile, and a relaxed summer evening in the park. FORWARD concerts are casual outdoor events in Rochester parks. Bring a chair or blanket, settle in for live music, and enjoy a summer evening with neighbors, family, and friends. No registration is needed.

Sleeping Jesus is a Minnesota rock and roll band that blends indie rock with Americana influences, drawing equally from modern sounds and classic records. Known for genre-hopping, their self-produced album Shotgun moves fluidly from country and ’70s-style folk to harmony-driven indie rock.
