Hi all! I posted earlier searching for students, before I actually had a place to teach. Since I am completely aware of how important proximity is to busy families, I wanted to let all of you know that I finally have a studio.
Anyone going to the Silver Creek Ukulele Carnival on Saturday? If so, I’d pay for half the gas if you let me ride along. I might even pay for all of the gas if I eat garlic on Friday night.
Bill will be playing a great collection of rockin’ honky tonkin’ blues at Carmody Irish Pub on Friday, Aug. 19, 9:30ish. Great homemade beer brewed fresh on the premises. Music is free the beer isn’t. PS: sorry about the Kenny G-like picture, only one I had handy.
Next Saturday, Sir Ben’s Tavern on the Lake will host The American North in their first appearance in the Duluth area. Joining them for the night are two locals; The indie-folk 4 piece Loup-Garou and solo sensation Breanne DeFoe.
Show is at 9pm // Free for your enjoyment // 21+ (sorry young music admirers) // Try the black bean nachos, they’re phenomenal.
Hello Duluthians of P.D.D. My name is Alexis and I am a member of The Crunchy Bunch. We are a DJ collective that is all about spinning funky and bangin’ tunes while having a good time. We have spun at a ton of different events; from small art shows to having a spot at the Rex during Homegrown. We are all down to spin where ever for whatever, whenever. We just love hearing loud music on big speakers. A couple of us also produce and remix on our own time. If you throw a party, event, or a get together of any sort that needs dance music, let us know! We are looking for any kind of business we can get. We really want to get our foot in the door of the Duluth music scene and possibly bring our part of the world of DJing to a new community. You can contact us via Facebook or Soundcloud.

The People Say Fox are recording a new album this September! It’s our second album, and we are over-the-top ultra excited to share it with any who are willing to listen. We estimate the cost of releasing this album to be $5,000+, so to help raise some of the funds we started our very own Kickstarter. It has been up and running for a couple of months now, and with only a week left, we are over half-way to our $1,000 goal! We are offering some nifty prizes in return for your generosity, so any and all contributions are greatly appreciated and hopefully worthwhile to you!
We have all the confidence in the world in what we’re doing, and if you can assist us in pursuing our dreams, we will be forever grateful. You lovely folks have given us so much support over the past few years, and we hate having to ask for more, but if you find yourself thinking “maybe I can help,” head on over to our Kickstarter and read more about our project!
We’ll see ya soon with some new jams,
Mike, Nate, and Nate
P.S. For those who are interested, our first album is streaming at thepeoplesayfox.com.

I love the concert poster. Thanks to Vega Productions for pulling this together.
