MONDAY FEBRUARY 3
Winter Trail Conditions
CHARLIE PARR Many people play roots music, but few modern musicians live those roots like Minnesota’s Charlie Parr. Played on National resonator guitar, 12-string guitar and occasionally banjo, Parr’s heartfelt and plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals don’t strive for authenticity — they are authentic.
MONDAY FEBRUARY 10
DAN RODRIGUEZ Dan Rodriguez, an artist based out of Minneapolis, MN, is creating quite a buzz in the Midwest. The groove-based, bluesy over-toned sound of his music, mixed with his powerful, yet seductive voice creates an atmosphere different from other music. It's refreshing, tantalizing, and just plain good!
MONDAY FEBRUARY 17
SARAH KRUEGER Sarah Krueger is Eau Claire, WI born and Duluth, MN built. Between stretches of teaching jobs, waiting tables, and holing up in a cold Duluth hillside apartment, Sarah has crafted a lustrous folk sound that serves as a breathing foundation for her earnest and straightforward songwriting. Krueger’s zealous performing and prevailing voice offer a fresh presence to the stage and seem to hit all the soft spots in the complicated space between us all.

MONDAY FEBRUARY 24
DUSTY HEART Rich vocal harmonies merge with intimate layers of guitar, fiddle and banjo to define the lush sound of Dusty Heart. Barbara Jean and Molly Dean are two songwriters recognized in their own right for their poetic lyrics and distinct vocal styles that when combined create a powerful and haunting sound that takes on a life of its own. Dusty Heart has crafted a sound that bridges together the diverse musical worlds of roots, indie, pop and folk.
