Come check out the set! Unfortunately it will be my last one for some time, as I am finishing up work on the new EP and full length releases. There will be various free CDs for people to take with them (as well as 3 other side project releases). Show starts @ 9PM on Tuesday. See ya there!

You know, people drinking beer, playing rawknroll, hanging out, scans of your long-form birth certificate, and so on. We’ll rotate homegrown images during next week’s festivities.

Duluth’s Homegrown Chicken Craze!

The first paragraph of the story above, from the April 27, 1902, Duluth News Tribune, might as well be about the Homegrown Music Festival, which represents itself with the chicken logo at left.
