The spring schedule for the Grassroots Concerts has been set. This is a great opportunity to see and hear artists that you would not normally be able get close to. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for children younger that 12. All shows will be held at the Nisswa Community Center in Nisswa, Minnesota.
The schedule is as follows:
- Pieta Brown, February 8th
- Bill Staines, February 22
- Tom Russell, March 14
- Garnet Rogers, April 4
- Gretchen Peters, April 18
- Cosy Sheridan, May 2
Here is some interesting information on the first artist of the season. Pieta was brought up in Iowa with no electricity and no running water - imagine that, will you. She was exposed to traditional and rural folk music by her father who just happens to be the two-time Grammy nominee Greg Brown. Be the time she was in her early twenties, Peita was well on her way to becoming a local gifted performer and by 2002 had her debut album out. Brown has collaborated with a variety of artists including The Pines, Iris Dement, Calexico, The Diplomats of Solid Sound and of course, her father Greg Brown.
