CLC Performing Arts Center announces a new concert series, North Stars Live!

The CLC Performing Arts Center will celebrate local Minnesota talent with North Stars Live!—a new concert series designed to spotlight homegrown artists.

On Thursday, Sept. 26, the series kicks off with a double-header featuring Amanda Grace and Megan Lenius, two musicians who have made their mark both locally and beyond. Both artists opened for major acts last season, with Amanda Grace opening for Church of Cash and Megan Lenius for Lera Lynn.

“I feel that everything is coming together for me in both my music and my life,” said Grace. “The new songs reflect some new hope that I have. I want others to feel encouraged that they can walk forward when facing the difficult things that happen in life, while remembering that they are embraced by love and their community.”

“I was posting videos from the time that I hit the age threshold to post on YouTube,” Lenius recalled. “It’s about throwing your net as wide as possible because eventually, something will stick. It wasn’t until I found Twitch that things really started to grow for me. I caught onto the platform early, and through consistency, I was able to build a community really fast.”

Tickets for North Stars Live! are available now at www.clcperformingarts.com or by calling the box office at 218-855-8199.
