Rich Mattson and the Northstars, Breanne Marie & Front Porch Sinners and Misisipi Mike Wolf

Rich Mattson and the Northstars have just released their sixth album Out There to glowing reviews from fans and radio stations up and down the state of Minnesota and beyond. The group formed in 2014 after Mattson disbanded his national touring group Ol’ Yeller and settled into his new home in Northern MN where he runs Sparta Sound recording studio.

Breanne Marie broke into the Minnesota music scene as a solo performer with an acoustic guitar and a repertoire of country covers and originals. Her 2013 debut album Six Strings of Peace and Sanity was a collection of sweet and deeply personal songs she wrote following her father’s suicide and her brother’s death in a car accident. The success of the album set the stage for the formation of her full-blown backing band the Front Porch Sinners made up of Evan Tepler on guitar, Johnny Peterson on pedal steel and mandolin, Kyle Gondik-Anderson on bass, Matt Groom on drums, Kailyn Spencer on fiddle and Danielle Gondik-Anderson on background vocals.

Misisipi Mike Wolf opens up the show with his music that has been compared to that of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
