Nate & Violette Boots out of North Mankato bring singer-songwriter alt-folk and rock music that mixes originals with covers. Violette's pop plays guitar, harmonica, and harmonium and recently put out his fourth indie-released album of original music [A STRETCH OF WING, A LEAP (2025)] while Nate's daughter plays guitar and piano when she's not studying Biology as a soon-to-be third-year student and playing violin with the UMD Orchestra up on the hill.
