corey medina & Brothers
January 17, 2026
7 pm
A Native-led blues-rock band based in Bemidji, Minnesota, on Anishinaabe land. Their music speaks to resilience, belonging, and getting through what life brings.
"Described as a unique combination of blues and rock, their sound is undeniably blues-based, but infused with emotion that defies genre, sometimes gentle or intense, but always honest. Their music offers a space for people to reflect, feel, and connect. The band explores themes of resilience, belonging, and getting through hard times. Corey Medina & Brothers is about truth and connection. Their mission is to uplift people who are too often unheard and to create music that invites people into a deeper relationship with themselves, with each other, and with the earth. Their message is clear: everyone’s place in this world matters."
