Go 96.3 presents Go Show, featuring Smallpools and The Orphan The Poet.

We first caught Smallpools in July 2013 and said, “The turnout to last night show was incredible, especially for a Wednesday. Fans packed in early (always a good sign when there is a line before the doors open), because there were a lot of cross-over fans who wanted to see Smallpools as well as San Cisco. From my understanding, this was Smallpools' very first national tour, so they were quite excited to play Minneapolis for the first time.”

12/18/18 - Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line Music Café

The Jayhawks and their rootsy sound were definitely swimming against the tide when they emerged from a crowded Minnesota music scene in 1985. Over the course of two decades, 9 albums, countless memorable live shows and enough personal drama to fill a couple of Behind the Music episodes, this beloved band soared to heights few ever achieve while winning the hearts and minds of numerous critics, fans and peers in the process.
