Lutsong Productions, LLC is pleased to announce its second annual event, the Lutsong Music Festival, to be held in Lutsen, Minn. on Thursday, July 13 through Sunday, July 16. Twenty acts are scheduled to play music during the four-day weekend at Caribou Highlands Lodge and the North Shore Winery located on Ski Hill Road in Lutsen. In addition to great music, attendees can enjoy the vendor village, a bronze metal pour, food, and beverages.
“We are excited by the support we received from musicians, vendors, attendees, and the community for the first festival in 2022,” stated Scott Schuler, co-founder of Lutsong Productions, LLC. “We are especially excited by the encouragement we received from the local community, so we added a third stage, more music acts, and a free kick-off music event on Thursday night at North Shore Winery in which everyone is invited to enjoy.”
Attendees will experience a dynamic music lineup, bronze pour demonstration, Saturday morning hike, roving songwriter one-on-one workshops, and campfire jam sessions. Food and beverages will be offered by Caribou Highlands Lodge.
“We expanded our reach this year by selecting musicians from Cook County, greater Minnesota, and Wisconsin,” says Molly Maher, co-founder of Lutsong Productions, LLC. “We believe this lineup offers a variety of musicians our guests may know and some new sounds to enjoy, including non-stop action on a second stage at Caribou Highlands Lodge.”
The free kickoff event begins on Thursday, July 13 at 6 p.m. at North Shore Winery with two musical acts including, The Scarlet Goodbye Duo and Dusty Heart. On Friday July 14 at 4 p.m., the fest officially starts at Caribou Highlands Lodge. Music headliner, Jeffrey Foucault backed by local heroes, will play at the Friday at 7:30 p.m. on the North Shore Winery outdoor stage. Saturday music begins at noon at Caribou Highlands Lodge and moves again to the North Shore Winery at 7:30 p.m. featuring the incomparable duo, StoryHill, with their infectious melodies and intriguing story songs.
New this year is The Wonder Wander with Sarah Morris. Sarah is deeply passionate about songs and loves to write them, talk about them, and encourage people to write them. Aspiring songwriters, new and seasoned, are asked to bring something they are working on to one of the four 30-minute educational sessions on Saturday.
