Jesse Norell 'Aorta Borealis' Album Release with Ben Noble & Chris Mason ALL AGES Jesse Norell Ben Noble, Chris Mason Jesse Norell celebrates the release of his new album release, 'Aorta Borealis,' along with opening sets by Ben Noble & Chris Mason .

Minneapolis father and indie rocker Jesse Norell sings about his daughter's struggle to survive heart surgeries and the joys of Down Syndrome on his new album Aorta Borealis. Ethereal songwriter Ben Noble and folk-pop artist Chris Mason open the show — all three artists will present full-band sets. Jesse Norell is an indie rock singer-songwriter and guitar teacher from Minneapolis. After playing in bands until 2007, Jesse stopped writing songs and playing shows until his daughter, Alyssa, came along. His debut solo LP Aorta Borealis is his return to making music. It’s about his journey as Alyssa’s dad through two heart surgeries, finding wellness after a crisis, and the joy of being loved by someone with Trisomy 21. The album is divided in half, starting with a darker, story-driven set of songs followed by a handful of more celebratory ones. Jesse’s songs have a melodic and cinematic feel. On Aorta Borealis, the vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keys and strings swell and recede to help the listener feel significance of each step along the journey. Everything comes out of a desire to connect; to be a soundtrack for those with a front row seat to hardship, and to show that the darker the story, the more appreciative we are when the light returns. Ben Noble is a Minneapolis-based artist and producer. He released his debut album, Whisky Priest, in the spring of 2017. Fully self-produced and recorded in a cabin, it is a journey of exacting introspection. Noble loves the contrast of serene, innocent melodies with a haunting chorus of falsetto voices. Noble released his sophomore album, Where The Light Comes In, in February 2020. It is a major expansion of the sonic palette, introducing drums, synthesizers, electric guitars, and much more to Noble’s ethereal melodies and textures. It is as much a sonic experiment as it is a heart-rending search for answers to questions of grief and the cyclical nature of trauma.  Chris Mason is a singer, songwriter and storyteller from Minneapolis. Through the writing of melodic folk pop songs, he tells stories of love, heartbreak and everything in between. You will find Chris performing around the twin cities, solo acoustic or with a group of friends. All with the hope of sharing songs that others can find their story in.  Jesse Norell Ben Noble, Chris Mason Originally built in 1931. Reimagined and restored in 2018.
