Saltydog & Lanue

Duluth’s favorite jam band Saltydog and Eau Claire-based Lanue share the beautiful Sacred Heart altar stage with a one-time-only concert at 7 p.m. Friday, May 15. Saltydog is a funk jam Improvisational exploration that takes the audience & band on a journey through their playfully crafted folk driven tunes inspired by the likes of everyone from The Talking Heads, The Band, those classic country and jam band staples along with everyone in between. The band spawned on the banks of Duluth’s ice covered stones by brothers Jacob and Owen Mahon. This midwestern psychedelic cowboy review features Calvin (Calzone) Lund, Lefty Johnson, Gavin St. Clair, and Sam Deters. The group released its third album “Runnin’ Again” earlier this year. Singer-songwriter Sarah Krueger founded Lanue in Duluth and released a self-titled debut album in 2021. Krueger has a knack for straightforward and earnest songwriting while maintaining a vocal delivery that sits like honey over layers of warm synths, guitars, and percussion. Ranging from confessional to nostalgic, each track is brightened by a lush lift while continuing to rest inside the framework of the folk tradition. Krueger relocated to her hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and continues to push the Lanue sound forward.
