Ilika Ward & The Moonlight Riders album release + Crankshaft + Mike Munson & Mikkel Beckmen
Ilika Ward is an acoustic-based Americana group out of Minnesota, hailing from both Minneapolis and Rochester. Armed with acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies that grab your attention and don't let go, Ilika Ward's songwriting is one part modern folk, one part throwback to the sounds of the 1960's folk revival. Occasionally performing as a quintet, they round out their old-time sound with a group of seasoned Minneapolis musicians they call The Moonlight Riders, featuring Jillian Rae (Jillian Rae, Corpse Reviver), Max Graham (Kind Country, Boys 'n the Barrels) and Jeff Swanner (The May North).
Alex "Crankshaft" Larson, is "one of those old fashioned showmen who can actually deliver." - Hymies Records. His style is heavily rooted in rock 'n' roll, blues, country, and soul, that "could not have been imagined prior to the early punk scene," as described by Dig In Magazine. Crankshaft is "one of the best and most interesting roots, rock and blues acts playing around town these days." - Cities 97. Rock solid original material, dedicated fans, and his 21st century twist on the American roots have pushed him near the top of the crowded Minneapolis music scene.
Making his home in the Mississippi River town of Winona, Minnesota, Mike Munson is well known for playing slide guitar blues. The driving rhythms in his songs are reminiscent of the trains that barrel through his neighborhood. Munson makes regular appearances throughout the Midwest, and is currently working on his third release following a debut studio recording and the acclaimed Live at Eds releases in 2014.
