“Spider” John Koerner. His music — inventive originals and innovative interpretations of classic folk/blues have amazed and impressed, and his collaborations with masters like Dave Ray, Tony Glover, and Willie Murphy are legendary. Though there is ample vinyl and CD compilations, preserving the visual alchemy of John’s performances are hard to come across. I convinced John to drive for 13 [long] hours to The Logging Camp Ranch, in a remote but spectacular corner of southwestern North Dakota, to tune up and let the cameras roll. Recorded July 10th, 2009. – Digger Kohler (Director)

We’re bringing music to The Yard! The Gemstones are Duluth’s funktastic soul/rock band hitting you hard in the groove bone – the kind of band your mom wishes she grew up listening to. Whether it be Courtney Ellian’s smooth and sultry vocals or keys playing, Manny Eisele loving the low-end on bass/vocals, Josh Nickila’s vintage sound on guitar/vocals, or Ian Hopp’s “madman on funkahol” drumming/vocals; this is a powerhouse of soundscapes and all-around funk/rock sex-suasion – musically. If the weather gets bad we’ll move the music indoors! No Cover | All Ages | Family Friendly
