This Week’s Lake Minnetonka Events
(April 13th-April 19th)
Lake Minnetonka has a strong indoor live music lineup this week, and the weather makes indoor plans look even better. Wednesday stays mild with a mix of sun and clouds, Thursday turns very warm and breezy, then Friday shifts sharply with clouds, wind, and the chance for a strong afternoon thunderstorm. Saturday looks much colder and very windy with even a chance of morning snow showers, before Sunday settles down with sunnier skies and a cool but calmer finish to the weekend.

Game Night: Initials Game Live — 6:30–8:30 PM — Boom Island Brewing
Initials Game Live is a fast, clue-based trivia game where each answer matches a set of initials. Clues get easier as the round goes on, but scoring rewards the teams that solve it early. It’s built for quick thinking, teamwork, and plenty of “we totally knew that” moments.
Open Jam: Wednesday Night Open Jam — 6:00–10:00 PM — Excelsior Brewing
Open Jam Night on the EBC stage with a full band setup provided (mics + gear), and all skill levels/styles welcome. Bring your instrument (or just show up and watch), meet other musicians, and jump in when you’re ready.

Trivia: Trivia Mafia — 6:30 PM — Excelsior Brewing
Trivia Mafia runs structured, team-based bar trivia with a live host and multiple rounds across different topics.

Trivia: Trivia Night — 6:30–8:30 PM — Boom Island Brewing
Boom Island’s Trivia Night is a classic team format with a host and round-based questions. Topics typically rotate so it’s not just one niche specialty carrying a team. Great for groups that like a little friendly competition and a lot of “wait—I know this.”

Amy Angeline brings a live performance to 318 Cafe on Thursday night, celebrating her 60th birthday while sharing songs shaped by 30 years of songwriting.

Known for writing from places of chronic pain, motherhood, gratitude, humor, and healing, she brings the kind of intimate storytelling performance that fits 318 perfectly and gives the night more depth than a standard live music show.

Live Music: Ozzy Harris — 7:00–10:00 PM — Excelsior Brewing Company
Ozzy Harris brings live music to Excelsior Brewing Company on Friday night with a laid-back acoustic set built around smooth vocals, great songs, and an easygoing style that fits the taproom well. Framed by the brewery as one of their favorites, this is positioned as a relaxed, feel-good night of music that pairs well with a fresh pint rather than a louder, high-energy bar show.
Paid Live Music: POB “unplugged” — 8:00–10:30 PM — 318 Cafe
POB “unplugged” brings Pandora’s Other Box back to 318 Cafe on Friday night for a paid live music performance built around acoustic versions of the band’s classic pop and rock hits, along with a few additional songs that lean more folk. With four members performing in this stripped-down format, the show is centered on three-part harmonies, strong musicianship, and fun banter that gives the night more personality than a standard cover-band set.
Live Music: Good For Gary — 8:00–11:30 PM — The Narrows Saloon
Good For Gary brings a high-energy live show to The Narrows Saloon on Friday night, built around current and past dance hits with a polished Top 40 cover-band format. Known as a Twin Cities band with a 7-piece lineup that performs without tracks or samples, they are focused on keeping the set lively, current, and built for a crowd that wants a fun, upbeat night rather than a laid-back background set.
Karaoke Night: Boom Island Karaoke Night — 7:00–10:00 PM — Boom Island Brewing
Boom Island Karaoke Night brings hosted karaoke to Boom Island Brewing on Friday night, giving people a chance to jump in and sing from a huge song catalog that covers everything from 80s power ballads and pop hits to country and holiday classics. With DJ Kymmick running the show, a pro setup, and award-winning Boom Island craft beer pouring in the taproom, this is more of an interactive, high-energy night out than a standard live music event.

Live Music: Crash Course — 7:30–10:30 PM — Excelsior Brewing Company
Crash Course brings live music to Excelsior Brewing Company on Saturday night with a high-energy set built around rock hits from the 70s and 80s.

The Luck Band brings a live set to The Narrows Saloon on Saturday night built around pop and rock cover songs designed for a fun, high-energy crowd.
