The 27th annual Homegrown Music Festival is underway. As usual, Perfect Duluth Day presents a rundown of updates, sidebar details and notes of peripheral or unsanctioned interest.

Of course, the 100-page Homegrown Field Guide can be found at numerous locations around town, including any Homegrown venue. It offers complete details about the festival. Since the Field Guide was published, there have been four schedule changes:

• On Tuesday, 9 p.m., at Amsoil Arena, Austin Castle is performing in the slot vacated by Nvr Tgthr.
• On Wednesday, 10 p.m., at Mr. D’s, Tyler Scouton is performing in the slot vacated by The Groove Chat.
• On Friday, 8 p.m., at Wussow’s Concert Cafe, Three Ring Goose Circus is performing in the slot vacated by Brainwashed.
• On Sunday, 3:30 p.m., at Canal Park Brewing, Nevins is performing in the slot originally slated for Austin Castle.

Keep in mind that the most accurate version of the schedule is always at duluthhomegrown.org/schedule.
