The Thursday night Mountain Stage show sold out almost as soon as tickets went on sale. The evening was capped by a fabulous performance by the “bluegrass band gone bad,” Trampled by Turtles.
For the 11th year
North House Folk
School offered an amazing weekend of music on the Grand Marais waterfront. On
Thursday – Saturday,
September 13-15, performers played under the big tent for appreciative North
Shore crowds.
Barbara Jean made her national radio debut at the Thursday night Mountain Stage show, to the delight of her local friends and fans.
Because of a missing passport, Gretchen Peters spent an extra day in Grand Marais. Her inconvenience was Cook County’s gain, as she shared her music both on Mountain Stage and at the Unplugged XI concert the next night!
Larry Groce of Mountain Stage kept the audience entertained between songs. The Thursday and Friday concerts will be broadcast later this year.
Jon Vezner continues to bring his amazingly talented friends to Unplugged. Jonathan Edwards, Jon Vezner, Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore took the stage in the Nashville songwriter circle style. In the background is cellist Jeff Gilkenson, who has appeared with Vezner in the past.
Jonathan Edwards did not sing his ’70s chart-topping hit Sunshine, but he impressed the audience with his more recent works.
Wife and husband duo Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore wowed the crowd with Mollie’s strong vocals and Rich’s guitar talents. They also kept things lively with their music selections.
