Certainly you’ve heard this tune based on a Ukranian folk song. This year we’re introducing a new Duluthian folk tale to go along with it. The music was performed at the Owls Club by the Owls Club Big Band; recorded and mixed by Darin Bergsven.
Reminder: Band registration for Homegrown is now open; the 21st annual festival will happen April 28 to May 5. Homegrown music mixes are available all year long through Bandcamp at duluthhomegrown.bandcamp.com.
All of the Perfect Duluth Day’s holy-joly videos can be found on the PDD Holiday Video Showcase page. Browse the selections, and program your own local holiday TV special.
Big thanks go out to the very large group of people who helped with this video: Everyone in the Owls Big Band of course, as well as Ilsa, Elliot, Elliot, Nolan and Emily. Recorded and mixed by Darin Bergsven.
