Live from the Heart: Paul Metsa
Event Navigation
Minnesota blues/rock legend Paul Metsa performs songs from his vast catalog, talks about his life in music and reads from his new book Alphabet Jazz in the next Live from the Heart: Songwriters/Storytellers Series event. Maija Jenson will host.
Metsa was born on the Minnesota Iron Range, was based in Minneapolis for decades and now lives in Duluth where he performs regularly. He has received seven Minnesota Music Awards and has played more than 5,000 gigs, including forays to Iceland and Siberia.
His book Alphabet Jazz is a collection of poetry, prose, stories and songs that Metsa wrote between 1984 and 2022. He describes the work as “a personal diary of sorts — midnight blasts of inspiration, love letters in poem, personal tributes to musicians and friends who have passed on, true stories, letters and songs I have written along the way that I still perform.”
The performance can be seen on the Sacred Heart Music Center YouTube channel. A limited amount of free studio audience tickets are available at eventbrite.com.
Studio audience members must arrive no later than 7:15 p.m. at the building’s east entrance.
