Longtime local musicians Brad Lokkesmoe and Maren Macosko founded Cloudland Theater, a new 150-person music venue on East Lake Street. Both musicians, they are no strangers to the magic of intimate venues. They created the new theater with memories of now-shuttered venues like Triple Rock Social Club, Hexagon Bar, and Cause in mind. The owners are excited to fill this void and bolster the Lake Street community, Macosko says. “It’s just a dream come true to be specifically in that area. Our neighbors are the best, and everybody is super-excited and supportive.”
