Celebrate New Year's Eve with HALEY, Lydia Liza and Moe Yaqub—Presented by Hazelden Betty Ford and Dissonance, this will be the most buzzed-about booze-free holiday party of the season!
All the glitz, glamour and good times needed to usher in the New Year with style.
Award-winning funnyman Moe Yaqub kicks off the festivities with a laugh-filled opening set, followed by performances by singer/songwriter Lydia Liza and HALEY (backed by her full band!). This celebration will offer all the trimmings—party hats and favors, a photo booth, countdown and celebratory toast at midnight—and a specialty menu of fancy, alcohol-free cocktails along with an assortment of other non-alcoholic options to enjoy.
HALEY
Haley has spent the last 16 years writing, producing, and performing her own music. Her early work reflected a more stripped down approach, moody folk music with a hint of country. Over the years, her sound has grown into its own unique blend of rock, American folk, and New Wave. Never one to stay in a particular style too long, Haley’s work continues to move forward in whatever direction she pleases, whether it is instrumental, classically-tinged synth, or screaming from the stage as the front woman of the psychedelic punk rock group Gramma’s Boyfriend. For this special New Year's Eve performance, Haley will perform songs from across her catalog with a full band.

Lydia Liza
A couple years after going viral for re-writing “Baby It’s Cold Outside” in 2017, Lydia Liza got sober. And then she got writing. Not a lot of artists can wear the “teenage musical prodigy” hat and go on to find success as an adult, and not a lot of artists can write a smash novelty holiday song and go on to transcend the “viral sensation” label -- but with her first solo effort, Of Unsound Mind, Lydia Liza echoes Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley and Laura Marling with ease. Add a sprinkle of nostalgic pop-punk, and Liza creates a tasteful, familiar and expansive soundscape that keeps the listener hooked.
Lydia Liza has been featured in Vanity Fair, the New York Times, People Magazine, 89.3 The Current, CNN, Bustle, Pitchfork, Billboard, CBC, NPR, BBC, Daily Mail, the NY Post; she has topped Spotify charts, she has been covered by Broadway stars, amateur YouTubers and everything in-between, and boasts over 6 million plays on Spotify. She has shared the stage with the likes of The Goo-Goo Dolls, Jake Bugg and Kimya Dawson. This debut record was a project on Kickstarter that raised $13,000. And though her viral re-write of a Christmas song caught the attention of an international audience, her real, authentic songwriting is bound to do the same thing.
Moe Yaqub
Mohtasham "Moe" Yaqub is a young and upcoming comedian from Minneapolis. Moe was born and raised in Pakistan, but moved to America to attend college in 2012. Growing up in Pakistan, he spent many childhood years acting on television. After moving to America, Moe wanted to make the transition back into TV and that venture led him to stand-up comedy.
Seven years ago he didn't speak English. Today he's the Funniest Person with a Day Job, having won the grand prize at Rick Bronson's House of Comedy's tenth annual contest. (Yaqub is an accountant by day and a comedy wunderkind by night). He was also a finalist in Acme Comedy's Funniest Person Contest and Sisyphus Brewing's Funniest Person in Minnesota Contest. Moe is one of the producers of Minnesota's annual 10,000 Laughs Comedy Festival and, as a Pakistani immigrant, would really appreciate it if people would stop telling him it's not that cold here.
