Thank You!

Pine City Concert (Pine Center for the Arts concert at Northwest Company Fur Post, Pine City, MN)

We want to extend a huge thank you to the Minnesota Historical Society and the following organizations for partnering to present our music and stories in 12 different towns around the state  of Minnesota over the past 7 months: Graceville Public Library, Appleton Library, Milaca Public Library, Jackson Public Library, Mille Lacs Library, Cambridge Public Library, Plymouth Public Library, Brooklyn Park Public Library, Moorhead Library, Crookston Library, Pine Center for the Arts and the Aitken Public Library. Thank you to all the hardworking organizers and to everyone that came out to hear and see the show!

We had such wonderful audiences everywhere we went and we especially enjoyed hearing so many stories from audience members about how this music and history reminded them of their own family stories and special places around the state. We are commited to continuing to bring traditional music collected in the Upper Midwest back to the communities it came from!

Randy and I just finished up two weeks in the wonderful Hideaway Studio in Northeast Minneapolis working on our upcoming duo album. We’re very excited about the music and hoping to have the CD out by May or June. Tomorrow we’re off to Chicago to perform at the University of Chicago Folk Festival. Looking forward to bringing our northwoods music to the big city. In addition to performances on Friday and Saturday nights, we’ll also give a talk on Minnesota singer Mike Dean (Saturday afternoon) and workshops on our approach to song arrangement.
