The Home Team brought their The Crucible of Life Tour to The Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MN. The show took place the same day Minnesota saw its first snowfall of the season. Even with almost nine inches of snow on the ground, fans still wrapped around the venue long before doors opened. Nothing was going to keep this crowd away.


Makari opened the night with a strong set that immediately pulled the audience in. Arrows in

Action followed and kept the energy building. By the end of these sets, the fans were more than ready for The Home Team to take the stage. Both bands did an incredible job setting the tone, and the crowd responded with nonstop enthusiasm.


Finally, The Home Team took the stage. Early in the set, vocalist Brian Butcher paused to thank the crowd for selling out the show. According to Butcher, the Minneapolis date sold out just a few days after tickets went on sale, which made the night feel even more special for both the band and the fans.

The Home Team kept the energy high from start to finish. Their set moved quickly, and the

crowd stayed with them the whole time. There wasn’t a moment during the set when Butcher

stood still. He really showed off his dancing skills the entire night. Some highlight songs from the set included “Turn You Off,” “Fashion Forward,” and “All Squeezed Out,” featuring Vic from Arrows in Action and “Somebody Else’s Face” featuring Brandon from Makari. Moments like these always feel special, and they give the crowd a chance to see how much respect and support exists between all the artists on the tour.


Even with the heavy snowfall, fans showed up ready for a great night, and The Home Team

delivered. It was a strong ending to the Minneapolis stop and worth every frozen minute spent in line.
