Second Hand Dan

Second Hand Dan is a dual-vocalist Minnesotan indie rock band consisting of Collyn Camara (lead guitar), Graden Hill (vocals/guitar), George Knier (keys), Ben Schwartz (drums), and Rachel Scott (vocals/bass). The group has been gigging regularly in the Twin Cities for well over a decade. Their evolution is captured across the 2020 LP From Nothing to Nothing, 2023’s Before We Dry Up, and the songs they’re currently debuting live. Between shows, the band is currently in the studio working on the new set of recordings.

Larrikins

Larrikins “I want to get stuck in their heads”, was what Tom Blackburn (song writer/guitarist) was thinking to himself when he decided to try his hand at songwriting. Blending various pop and rock influences, with an emphasis on catchy/jangly guitars and a strong rhythm section, Larrikins aims to write songs that are as fun to listen to as they are to play. Enlisting long time friends Brian Wahl (vocals/bass) and Kevin Zech (vocals/guitar) and the addition of Ryan Babiracki (drums), transformed the bedroom jingles into hard hitting pop rock bops.

Moneybones

Moneybones is a rock trio from Minneapolis. Tight and heavy, yet groovy and melodic. The rhythm section has played together since childhood and their frontman fits like he was always supposed to be there. Three years in, they sound like a band that’s been doing this much longer. Their one single “False Faces” is out now.

Join us at Day Block Brewing on Thursday, August 20, for an evening of original Twin Cities rock featuring Second Hand Dan, Larrikins, and Moneybones.

Headlining the night is Second Hand Dan, a dual-vocalist indie rock band that has been a fixture of the Minnesota music scene for well over a decade. Featuring Collyn Camara (lead guitar), Graden Hill (vocals/guitar), George Knier (keys), Ben Schwartz (drums), and Rachel Scott (vocals/bass), the group blends thoughtful songwriting, rich arrangements, and seasoned musicianship. Their musical evolution is documented across the acclaimed LPs From Nothing to Nothing (2020) and Before We Dry Up (2023), while new material currently being debuted live offers a glimpse into the band’s next chapter as they continue recording in the studio.

Opening the night, Larrikins deliver infectious pop-rock driven by jangly guitars, memorable hooks, and an energetic rhythm section. Founded by songwriter and guitarist Tom Blackburn with the goal of crafting songs that linger long after the music stops, the band features longtime friends Brian Wahl (vocals/bass), Kevin Zech (vocals/guitar), and Ryan Babiracki (drums). Their high-energy performances transform catchy bedroom demos into hard-hitting rock anthems built for live audiences.

Rounding out the bill is Minneapolis rock trio Moneybones. Combining heavy riffs, tight grooves, and melodic songwriting, the band has quickly earned a reputation for sounding far beyond their years. Anchored by a rhythm section that has played together since childhood and fronted by a vocalist who feels like the missing piece they always needed, Moneybones bring a powerful and dynamic presence to the stage. Their debut single, “False Faces,” is available now.

Don’t miss this showcase of local talent at Day Block Brewing—three bands, one stage, and a night packed with memorable songs, powerful performances, and Minnesota rock at its finest.
