Power-pop prince, guitar whiz and ace-in-the-hole collaborator Dave Mehling has wowed Duluth audiences since he was a teenager. Last year he released two solo records — the “avant folk” Beach Boy and the meditative instrumental album Tired Fruit. Prior to that came the most recent album from his longtime band the Fontanelles, A Time at the Cabin, which came out at the start of pandemic. Rounding out the crew are guitarist Darin Rieland, bassist Beau Jeffrey, and drummer Jason McGlone.
