Fire on the Water

Please join us for an evening of tunes played by Winona Is Dead which consists of touring musicians who have all made their home in beautiful Winona, MN. The band features Mike Munson (Mike Munson Trio) and Kyle Gruhlke (Jackie Treehorn and the Malibu Sheriffs) on guitar duties, with Scotty Lochner (The People Brothers Band) on bass guitar, Jake Allen (Texas Toast) on drums and Dante DeGrazia (Sleeping Jesus) on pianos and organ. The band will curate set-lists of The Grateful Dead’s repertoire filled with improvisation and fueled by their own musical tastes and influences. We absolutely love when the stars align with all of our schedules and we get to play these tunes.

In the spirit of The Grateful Dead and the scene they famously created there will be food, art, jewelry and clothing vendors onsite to share their craft with us all.

Gates open at 6 PM with the first of two sets of music starting at 7 PM.

Grab your tickets in person at The Trempealeau Hotel for $15 or online for $15 plus the eventbrite fees. First 200 tickets are $15, then the price goes to $20. Day of show admission is $25, depending on availability.
