Wintry Elementary
Wintry Elementary is a four-piece indie band based in Northfield, Minnesota. Formed at St. Olat College by students in the “Enduring Questions” program, the group describes their sound as “chamber folk pop” that is lyrically-driven and “quietly nerdy. Their music often draws inspiration from cinema, poetry, and classical music, with songs acting as stories-a reflection of their academic roots.

Danny Schmidt in Concert
2025-12-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Mercy Music Hall, 436 Roy Street North, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55104, United States
Danny’s thrilled to be back in the Twin Cities. He was with beloved St Paul-based record label, Red House Records (Greg Brown, Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, etc) for almost a decade, and built a deep love of the Twin Cities during that time.
$20 tickets at the door

Schmidt is a force of nature: a blue moon, a hundred-year flood, an avalanche of a singer-songwriter. His songs are a flood of poetry, mythology, folk wisdom, and surprise. He is perhaps the best new songwriter we’ve heard in the last 15 years.
