We’re still smiling as we look back at our summer in Saint Paul! 😃 Take a look at some highlights from our special series—what a 2026 Lowertown Sounds it was! We aren’t here without you, so thanks for being part of our proud story and for helping us bring the tunes and the community to Mears Park.
Very special thank you to our presenting sponsor Affinity Plus and our sustaining partners, Securian Financial, Flint Hills Resources, Bigos Management, Xcel Energy , and One Simple Plan and most certainly our friends at Pryes Brewing Company for keeping the suds flowing as our craft b**r partner. 🍻
And, of course the stars from the stage—the amazingly talented artists who brought energy and song week after week: 🎶 Dr. Mambo 🎶 Purple Funk Metropolis 🎶 Lips Speak Louder 🎶 poliça 🎶 sophie hiroko 🎶 The New Standards 🎶 Black Market Brass 🎶 Flamin’ Oh’s 🎶 Chutes 🎶 Ashley DuBose 🎶 Mae Simpson 🎶 Daniel Murphy & Jeff Arundel 🎶 High on Stress (Official Band Page) 🎶 Salsa del Soul 🎶 Pedro F Trumpet 🎶 Pert Near Sandstone 🎶 Cole Diamond 🎶 Jack Klatt
As a free and independent series, Lowertown Sounds only exists because of our community stakeholders, our patrons, and the support of our sponsors and partners.
