Monroe CrossingBluegrass music lends itself to casual dress. When your plans just involve some pickin’ on the front porch, jeans and an old flannel shirt will suffice. But Twin Cities bluegrass group Monroe Crossing is known for its sharp, yesteryear-inspired stage outfits as well as its high-energy take on the high-lonesome sounds of its namesake, Bill Monroe.

Mark Johnson visits with Matt Thompson and Lisa Fuglie from Monroe Crossing as we listen to a live performance from the Kezar Music Showroom in Thief River Falls.

Minnesota Arts on the Road is made possible by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, and is produced by Pioneer 90.1 in Thief River Falls.

Adam WayneAdam Wayne Wollenburg is an Austin, Minnesota-based singer songwriter. Adam’s debut song is “Good Pennies Keep Coming Back.”

Adam Wayne Wollenburg’s music sounds like Nashville, but he’s Minnesotan through and through. All you need to do to verify that is check out what this guys likes to do in his free time. He’s a race car driver, a duck hunter and a fisherman.

Where he differs from the typical Minnesota guy is that he spent some time in Nashville – playing clubs like Tootsies Orchid Lounge and writing songs with other country performers.

Adam was on the road this spring, going from station to station to promote his debut single “Good Pennies Keep Coming Back.” He stopped at Pioneer 90.1 to play a few songs.
