Past Performance at Sacred Heart
Homegrown Music Festival Experimental Tuesday
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
7:00pm
$5/at door
The Homegrown Festival returns to Sacred Heart with an eclectic line up of great local talent. Artists scheduled to appear include:
Sing! A Women’s Chorus
Director Mags David brings a unique act to the Homegrown Music Festival, leading a women’s singing group created from Duluth Public School’s Community Education program. The group’s repertoire includes original songs, as well as traditional tunes from the United States, Europe and West Africa, all learned through the oral tradition.
Total Freedom Rock
The name says it all. Led by Bob Monahan on keys, voice and things, Total Freedom Rock never plays the same show twice. They might sing, they might not. Guitarist Jeremy Ehlert could play loud, or he may play gentle and quiet. Drummer Luke Holden may actually keep time or may simply play around with the concept of time while Brian Ring fiddles with electronic bric-a-brac and Pete Biasi handles the electric bass machine. Anton Jiminez-Klockel provides the “paper, cream and mods,” whatever that means.
Southwire
The combination of pansy folk-singer Jerree Small with Ben Larson and Sean Elmquist of the barncore rap act Crew Jones has produced something that is not at all the sum of its parts. Call it secular gospel for lack of a better term. “We are a supergroup of loser-winners whose names ring out,” says Larson. For a sample, check out the song “Bell,” on the compilation CD Homegrown Rawk and/or Roll: Lindquist’s Mix.
