GTFO | A Protest Song For Minneapolis (Anti-ICE Irish Folk Punk) | Lyric Video

Описание: I usually perform in costume and character as Gus the Bard, so this song is a little out-of-pocket for me. I have created a home for myself and my family here in Minnesota, and what’s been happening has left me angry, heartbroken, and unable to stay quiet.

GTFO is a folk-punk / Irish rebel song written in response to ICE activity in our community, the murder of Renee Good on Jan. 7th, 2026, and the lies that followed from our government. The titular line was inspired by the words of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who in the wake of these events publicly called on ICE to "Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis!"

It’s a song about grief, anger, and refusing to accept violence and fear as normal.

This version of GTFO was brought to life with the help of local Minnesota musicians:

Chris Murphy: Lyricist, Lead Vocals, and Acoustic Guitar
John Meilner: Banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, and backup vocals
Matthew Sudduth: Bass, baritone horn, and backup vocals
Micahjosiah "MJ" Borreson: Lead Guitar and backup vocals
Kyle Holder: Drums and Percussion
Izzy Schroeder: Violin
Joscelyn Buchwald: Vocals
Adonteng Akore: Backup Vocals
Robb Hollyday: Himself

Recorded at Dastardly Records in Minneapolis, MN in January 2026.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by: Erik Foote & Bryan Steenerson.
