Tommy James joined Mark Johnson and Carl Unbehaun on “Northland Morning.” Tommy brings his band The Shondells to Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen on Friday night (6/8).
Mucky Peat and the MacrophytesCrookston band Mucky Peat and the Macrophytes, winners of the first Pioneer 90.1 Battle of the Bands, are featured in this edition of Minnesota Arts on the Road. The show was produced by Northland New Media student Jacob Anderson.
Bluegrass Pals AudioOn a hot night in June, with storm clouds rumbling ominously in the distance, Pioneer 90.1 set up its microphones in the Gazebo at Floyd B. Olson Park in Thief River Falls to record a live set with Phil Nusbaum and The Bluegrass Pals.
The weather held, and the crowd gathered to enjoy live music and an ice cream social to benefit the Pennington County Humane Society. This hour, we’ll meet the band and hear their brand of old time country and bluegrass. Minnesota Arts on the Road is made possible by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
