The Thirsty River – Live Music at Ernie’s on Gull

We’re back for a second year at Ernie’s! We had so much fun last year, that we had to do it again. Come on up to Gull Lake to soak up the rays, take the boat out, grab some drinks, and listen to some music! We play 6-9pm on the lakeside stage!

The Thirsty River is a folk | bluegrass | Americana band from the Twin Cities who have been quietly gaining a following playing bars, breweries, events and festivals all around the upper midwest over the past 10+ years (but who’s counting). Their third studio album, Junk Drawer, was released last year and has been featured on curated playlists such as GemsOnVHS monthly playlist and Spotify’s editorial “New Grass” playlist.

It is a collection of songs, much like the items in our junk drawer, that haven’t fit into any other projects but still serve a greater purpose.

This 5-piece encompasses intimate yet energetic performances with dynamic harmonies and inevitable onstage banter. The Thirsty River has an undeniable passion that is constantly pushing the limits of Americana music both you and your grandpa will enjoy.

Oh and hey, if you’re staying the weekend, be sure to check out the reggae fest at Ernie’s Saturday night!
