| Opening Act for July 8th at 5:30 pm will be Brian Miller and Lumberjack Songs of Early Minnesota |
 |
Brian Miller tells us that many Irish immigrants found work in American lumber camps in the late 1800s where they sang songs both remembered from the old country and also composed about their hard lives working in the north woods. Miller has been unearthing a unique selection of these ballads that were collected in Minnesota in the early 20th century from aging lumbermen who had worked in the old camps where trees were cut by hand, logs were driven down rivers and bunkhouses were alive with song.

Valley Dance and Fitness founded by Tim and Tibbe Luell who began their studio in 2004 with the idea that they could foster a pre-collegiate, performance based studio with a comfortable hometown atmosphere.

kid! We develop the strength of our tweens and teens to better their
dancing or give them an edge in sports. We help our adults understand their
bodies and make movement comfortable.

Suede Baby
Led by the songwriting team of vocalist Kristen Solberg & guitarist Nick Hall, the 'Suede Baby Sound' is comprised of a multitude of influences.

| Featured Act at 7:30 pm - Trio Tipo |
 |
Trio Tipo
The sound of Trio Tipo is much easier to experience than to describe. Everyone seems to come away with a different impression. Listeners of all ages and musical tastes have enjoyed the original sounds of the trio.
The music makes people feel good and is a blend of acoustic rock, jazz, Latin, world, Spanish, classical and fusion, but it doesn't exactly fit into any of those categories. It's a genre all to itself which the band calls Acoustic Fusion.

Opening act for July 29th will be the Lumberjack Days Talent Show Winners. Please check back for scheduling.
