Lutsong Productions, LLC is pleased to announce its third annual event, the Lutsong Music Festival, to be held in Lutsen, Minn. on Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21 with 18 acts scheduled to play non-stop music at Caribou Highlands Lodge and the North Shore Winery located on Ski Hill Road in Lutsen. In addition to great music, attendees will enjoy the vendor village, a bronze metal pour, nightly campfires, a NEW foraging activity, food, and beverages.
“We are looking forward to our third year of great music in a beautiful location on Lutsen Mountains,” stated Scott Schuler, co-founder of Lutsong Productions, LLC. “We have another amazing lineup this year on three stages, and we’re looking forward to non-stop music starting with our free community show on Thursday night at the Winery. Friday the Stonebridge Singers will open the festival with a drum circle and singing. They are a group of young men from the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and we couldn’t be more excited to have them.”
Attendees can expect a variety of non-stop music, songwriter one-on-one workshops, Saturday hike and serenade by the talented Sarah Morris, Greg Mueller’s bronze pour demonstration, and after-hours campfire jam sessions. A new activity for this year includes a hike in the woods with the Gentleman Forager, Mike Kempenich, known as the most interesting man in the woods.
“We have an impressive lineup of musicians slated for this year’s event from across the U.S. These artists offer a variety of styles including Americana, folk, blues, alt-country, drumming, and even a harpist!” states Molly Maher, co-founder and music scout for Lutsong Productions, LLC. “It’s been a joy to work with this year’s musical talent and delivering some unique acts in addition to the great music our attendees have come to expect.”
