    Saint Paul, MN – IronStar is bringing their lyrically driven alternative rock band to Red Rocks Mankato on Friday, February 21st, 2020. Doors at 8 pm – $10 cover – Ages 21+

    Those in attendance can expect emotional reactions to their performance of the unique, space-age alternative rock. Local heroes Irie Minds will be sharing the stage for the local debut.

    The newly formed band released their debut single, “So Close.” This single is about a feeling that everyone has known or hopes to know. Being close to the one you love. This is the first release of much more original music yet to come.

    IronStar was born in 2019 by Joe Scarpellino, who fronts the band and has deep roots in the Midwest music scene. As the IronStar concept was developed with Producer Shannon James Ward, they landed on a 5-piece member band. In addition to Joe, the band includes Max Graham (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Olivia Quintanilla (Cello/Vocals), Ned Barclay (Bass) and John Hanson (Drums). The band debuted at Shang-ra-la Music Festival, which is held annually at Harmony Park in Geneva, Minnesota. This festival was awarded City Pages (Minneapolis) Best Festival of 2019.
