Let’s mee the bands!

PULLSTRING // midwest brit-pop

Midwest Britpop, Alt-Rock, Pop-Punk in denial… you get the idea. Hailing from Minneapolis, Pullstring’s nostalgic brand of alt-rock channels the energy of the ’90s and early 2000s. Paying homage to influences like Green Day and The Replacements, the band delivers a high-energy live show anywhere there’s a PA and a crowd willing to listen.

Underneath the driving guitars and infectious melodies, Pullstring explores the tension and tenderness of being a young adult in the 2020s. Their lyrics confront loneliness, shifting identity, and the early sparks of relationships with honesty and relatability. Yet even in their most vulnerable moments, the band threads in a sense of humor and lightness that keeps their sound warm and inviting.

GREENTOP// indie rock

For the better part of four years, the 400 miles between Rochester, Minnesota and Columbia, Missouri symbolized balance and reflection for Greentop's Isaac Jahns. The two cities (Jahns's hometown and college town, respectively) are the two largest cities along the path of U.S. Highway 63, snaking through farmland and small towns along the way. Greentop, Missouri is one such town, linking this Minnesotan to northern Missouri forever and giving him routine seven-hour meditation sessions to create his own sound.

Greentop began in 2017 as a solo project and evolved greatly over two years, moving from sparse acoustic music to a powerful indie rock five-piece. The band’s lone LP, 2018’s Dumb Luck, helped Greentop grow past the stages of southeast Minnesota and play across mid-America. 2023 marks their post-pandemic revival and a move to Minneapolis - a natural maturation for the people and the sound they create.

SOCIAL CUES // alt-punk

Social Cues is a four piece alternative rock band based in Minneapolis, MN. Owing their formation to a Craigslist ad put out by frontman Forrest Ward, the band began playing music together in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consisting of Forrest Ward on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ben Schwaller on lead guitar, Druby Soho on bass guitar, and Mitchell Warner holding it all together on the drums, the band writes and performs music that resonates with those who occasionally feel isolated in the digital age.

Project 37 is a non-profit with a mission to provide spaces and opportunities for all ages to enjoy music in safe and sober environments. You can help us continue that goal by coming to shows, following us on social media, or telling people about what we do.
