Songa is a roots folk band led by Mario and Sherry Friedel based in the Chippewa Valley. An acoustic duo weaving a rich sonic tapestry rooted in the heart of Nashville’s songwriting tradition, their music is a soulful blend of folk, blues, country, and jazz, delivered with raw authenticity. With heartfelt lyrics and the harmonies that come from a lifetime of making music together, this will be an intimate night of music to remember. Songa is excited to announce that Sue Orfield will be joining the duo for this special evening.

On Tuesday nights at The Lakely we’re turning things up with Tune-In Tuesdays—a live music series featuring rising artists and fresh sounds. From indie and folk to soulful acoustic sets, each performance is a chance to discover new talent in a cozy, cocktail-forward setting. Whether you’re winding down or gearing up, Tune-In Tuesday is your perfect midweek reset.

Come early for the craft cocktails, stay for dinner and the music.
