Join the Sutter Brothers as they present the landscape, critters, and quirky characters of northern Minnesota through songs and stories, poetry and music, at 6 p.m. Sept. 9 at the Grand Marais Public Library.
Best known for his baritone voice, Ross Sutter plays an impressive array of instruments: guitar, button accordion, dulcimer, and Irish drum. He has issued four CDs, won three fellowships from the Minnesota State Arts Board, and performed for A Prairie Home Companion.
The author of eight books, Bart Sutter is a three-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award and was named the first Poet Laureate of Duluth. He has written for Minnesota Public Radio and had three plays produced.
This 50-minute show runs the gamut from humor to heartache. The music ranges from songs of immigrant longing to their hilarious hit, “When the Smelt Buckets Are Loaded, I’m Coming Home to You.”
