Holiday Standards

Celebrate the holidays with Park Rapids' own Scott Jasmin and The Mistletones!

Each year, Scott Jasmin brings together The Mistletones to perform jazzy, heartwarming takes on timeless Christmas favorites and holiday classics.  Known for his soulful Americana sound that blends rock, country, jazz, and folk, Scott has become a beloved fixture in the Minnesota music scene, performing both solo and with his four-piece band.

Join us for an unforgettable celebration of music and community at our Holiday Open House--Complimentary Tom & Jerry's while they last!

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."
