The latest video from Lanue was shot live in August 2023 at the Riverside Community Garden in Duluth. It was released earlier this year on Instagram and is now available here via YouTube.

Sarah Krueger, the artist who performs as Lanue, lost her partner Ben Larson in February. Their daughter Luella appears in the video. When the video was iniitally released on Instagram, Krueger wrote:

Life has been heavy and filled with grief after losing my sweetheart unexpectedly in February. In the darkness of it all I wanted to share a bright spot. A brief and candid moment in time that means so much to me — our daughter and I last August in the garden surrounded by the plants and food and life her daddy and I grew from seed and nurtured together as a family, before our lives would be forever altered. It’s become so clear to me just how much each and every moment we are here together is an absolute gift and I just keep trying to lean into the mystery of it all.

I still am so uncertain what this life will look like for me, for us, moving forward. But I do know there are still songs to be shared in some shape or form and I’m blessed to be walking on this good earth with the sun on my face and unraveling the great unknown with each of you. Even when it’s hard. Even when it’s painful. Especially when it’s bright and messy and imperfect.

This video was shot by Keely Zynda with additional editing support by Ethan Gibbs. Thanks to the great state of Minnesota for the funding to do this type of work (full credits and info on that at the end of the video) and connect and create in ways that highlight this region and make us feel more human.
