Announcing the 18th Annual Eve Eve Benefit Show!
For the past 17 years, Consolation Champ has played a benefit show on December 23rd, reuniting with many musical friends to celebrate the season and raise money for Twin Cities non-profits doing great work to serve the community. They are honored to hold the 18th installment at Icehouse this year, with proceeds benefiting The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities NOTES FOR NOTES® programming, which provides youth with FREE access to music instruments, instruction and recording studio environments so that music may become a profoundly positive influence in their lives. Get your tickets here and check out the Ice House website for more information. See you out there!
Consolation Champ tries to make songs that seem simple and sound interesting, bringing carefully crafted lyrics and catchy melodies to the forefront.
Hundreds of performances spanning 35 states and 15+ years have turned Champ into a seasoned live act capable of entertaining in just about any setting. These Minnesotans have known each other since grade school, and it shows in the ball they have on stage performing both originals and their favorite songs from music history.
“Far from musical also-rans, Consolation Champ has an everyman earnestness that is endearing.”
