The Wicked Bees

The Wicked Bees is a reggae/ska infused horn rock band formed in Fargo/Moorhead. Their new EP “People Change” captures the band’s most exciting original music recorded, produced, and mastered with some of the best of the Minneapolis music scene. 

 Formerly known as “The Ska Skank Redemption,” the band’s core members Dan (guitar/vocals), Clyde (bass), and Andrew (drums) came together by chance while visiting a local music store. Through a mutual love of Green Day, third wave ska, and reggae, their band was born. 

 For five years the band played throughout the upper Midwest building a following of loyal fans and a reputation for an electric live show. In the summer of 2013, the band recorded and released its first EP “The Wicked Bees.” The EP drew attention and acclaim from the national and international ska/reggae scene.

Blake Proehl

AS SEEN ON

Proehl isn’t your everyday singer-songwriter — he worked his whole life to achieve his dream of making it to the NFL, ultimately joining the Minnesota Vikings as a wide receiver. After a devastating injury during his rookie season, though, his life in football came to a screeching halt. During the recovery period and unexpected downtime, he encountered another surprise: falling in love with music.

His musical journey began with his family, and a video of him sharing his singing voice with his grandmother for the first time unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, surprising even Proehl himself. The tens of millions of views and American Idol appearances say it all — people are ready to hear more from Blake. His pop and r&b sound has the natural likability of predecessors like Justin Bieber, and Proehl’s humility and gentle spirit make it hard not to want to root for him.


Wicked Garden at 8:00 pm

Get ready for your favorite grunge hits of the 90s! Wicked Garden started out in 2010 specializing in the five most influential grunge bands of all time, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots. After amassing over three hours of set list hits from these five chart topping bands, they rearranged some members and the newly revamped band decided to expand the set list to include several other artists from the 90′s Grunge Era, as well as Grunge influenced artists that are chart topping today, such as Tool, Foo Fighters, Queens of The Stone Age, etc. The goal of today’s Wicked Garden is to appeal to today’s generation of concert goers, as well as fans of the 90′s era, which is certain to grow the fanbase to a level that was unreachable by sticking to the limitations of the original five band plan.

Food Trucks and Beer Gardens will be on site, cornhole tournaments, kids’ activities, and so much more will be offered throughout the day!
