Rhythms on the Root | Saltydog
July 12 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Overview
Lanesboro Arts is thrilled to present Saltydog as the sole 2025 Rhythms on the Root concert on Saturday, July 12th at 6:00 p.m. in Gateway Park.
Saltydog is a funk jam improvisational exploration that takes the audience & band on a journey through their playfully crafted folk driven tunes inspired by the likes of everyone from The Talking Heads, The Band, those classic country and jam band staples along with everyone in between.
The band was spawned on the banks of Duluth’s ice covered stones by brothers Jacob and Owen Mahon. This midwestern psychedelic cowboy review features Calvin (Calzone) Lund, Lefty Johnson, Gavin St. Clair, and Sam Deters.
The band’s genuine kindness, passion, enthusiasm and joy for their craft is apparent, enchanting & makes for an additive live performance. Their 2nd album Pepper dropped in spring 2024, the band released their 3rd album in Spring 2025. The band has been known as differently original, funky, and unpredictable in a delightful, soulful manner. There is something for everyone at a Saltydog show.
Rhythms on the Root activates the vibrant asset of Gateway Park as a place for the Lanesboro community and visitors to gather and celebrate with live music.
Tickets are $20 General Admission for individuals age 13+ and $15 Lanesboro Arts Members (free for ages 12 and under, but ticket still required). Seating will be first come, first served general admission. Bring your own lawn chair or blanket to sit on in the park! In the event of rain the concert will be held at the St. Mane Theatre.
The Rhythms on the Root series is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
