BIO:

Established in 2011, Rebel Queens is a high-energy all female Rock N Roll band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Rebel Queens was formed by Tiffany Beamer (Lead Vocals) after delving into the musical catalog of the 70's all-girl band, The Runaways. Throughout the band's journey through music and band members, Rebel Queens has curated an action-packed live show with over four hours of classic rock with the likes of ACDC, Joan Jett, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Blondie, KISS and Aerosmith, along with original music written by the band. Their energetic stage presence complete with soaring vocals, screaming guitar solos, tight harmonies, and rockin' dance moves pours into each song on their set list. Rebel Queens has an undeniable chemistry with a distinct sound and feeling that makes each show not quite like the last. Of course, there is always room for more cowbell. Songs from their 2017 EP "It's Reigning Rock 'N' Roll" are featured on several Minnesota radio stations.

COLD KINGDOM

 

Dani Engum - Vocals
Evan Ogaard - Guitar
Jason Michael - Bass
Chris Morley - Drums/Percussion
 

 

BIO: 

Born of Minneapolis in 2014, Cold Kingdom is a full-out, juggernaut hard rock band that dispenses a lethal combination of fury and sentiment, delivering emotional lyrics wrapped in an unbreakable hard rock casing.

Cold Kingdom brings an unfailing drive to play energy-filled shows every time they walk on stage, a quality that gets ever-rarer in today’s arena. In their years of performing live they've had the experience of playing with well-known acts such as Chevelle, Buckcherry, Saving Abel, Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, and Nonpoint, as well as contributing to some of the Midwest’s largest music festivals, like Northern Invasion, RockFest and Summerfest. Their first released album, "The Moon and the Fool," brought their musical dreams roaring to life, with the singles "Crash Poet," "Let it Burn," and "Surrender" quickly becoming fan favorites. Their latest EP, produced by Shinedown’s Eric Bass, further pushes their rock to an even greater creative edge.

More than just a band, this close-knit family is always looking forward to new challenges, new venues, and new fans, because that’s what it’s all about to Cold Kingdom: the fans. The Midwest is their home, but they’re excited to grow and make new friends all around the country, bringing their distinctive sound to all corners, both domestically and beyond. Cold Kingdom is also forever thankful to the friends, family, fans, bands and companies that so significantly contribute to their success.
