  • Patty and The Buttons preach the gospel of hot rhythm and happy feet. The band is similar to what you would find in a dance hall, cafe or nightclub anywhere around the world between 1920-1940. Despite being an ensemble firmly rooted in tradition, the band presents their music without being shackled to history. They play their own compositions as well as takes on music of the era. Patty’s eclectic taste gives the band diverse influences including New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Western Swing, Gypsy Melodies, Ragtime Piano Blues, Jug Music and 1930′s Popular Song. Music 11am - 2pm

  • DOORS 7:00pm SHOW 8:00-10:00pm Bold + gold harmonies straight from Nashville. Winner of the Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest and seen on NPR's 'Mountain Stage with Kathy Mattea' and the KC Chiefs National Anthem, Goldpine's brand of “aggressive Americana” is a flawless channel for their bold and reminiscent compositions. Husband and wife of 16 years, Goldpine has just released their third album, appropriately titled Three, which collects stories of sorrow, tested-love and space-trips. Mastered by Dave McNair (Shovels & Rope, Lauren Daigle), the album was captured from a mash of actual live performances on the road in 2024, showcasing the duo’s live energy as you would experience it straight from the stage. goldpinemusic.com $18 Cover in Advance and Day Of Show

  • DOORS 7:30pm SHOW 8:30-10:30pm Songwriter, Brady Grey is coming back to Aster Cafe for a hometown show! Brady has been living in Arizona for the past 5 years, sun steeping his heartfelt songs in the desert. With nearly 20 years as a full-time musician, Brady has been honing his craft playing over 200 shows a year. Grey pairs his vocal prowess with looping techniques and masterful guitar work to create rich, layered soundscapes. With poignant lyrics and tales of heartbreak and passion, Grey takes us along life’s path, winding in reflection and returning to love. www.bradygrey.com Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist Charlie Bruber, a jazz bassist known for his work with Black Market Brass and Society of Chemists, emerges as a compelling singer-songwriter on his second solo album Prized Burden, a warm yet introspective folk-rock collection influenced by John Martyn and Nick Drake. Written during his honeymoon in Northern New Mexico and shaped by his father’s move into memory care, the album balances comfort with existential depth, reflecting on loss, memory, and acceptance. www.charliebrubermusic.com $15 Cover in Advance and Day Of Show
