Deb Harley and "Flung Wide Open"
Some artists "own" a style. They eat sleep and breath it. Their
entire career is dedicated to it. That's cool and all, but it
didn't work for Deb Harley,
a singer-songwriter from Eden Prairie. Her new CD, "Flung Wide
Open," broke the mold of her previous work and brings many
different styles into the mix. "I decided to give myself the
freedom to touch on any genre because I love them all," she told
me, and it rings very true on this new CD. It's upbeat
contemporary folk music with more than a twist of blues, country
and swing...

Premiere Blues and R&B Performer Janiva Magness
Janiva
Magness is one of the premiere Blues and R&B
performers in the world today. She has a rich
and soulful voice that can take an audience from
deep sorrow to overwhelming joy. The story of
her life is one of extremes and hardships. In
her teens, both of her parents committed suicide
and she bounced from foster home to foster home
around the Twin Cities. She was the kind of "at
risk" youth that typically doesn't survive. As
she describes it, that was the Fate she was born
to. But, through the kindness of others she was
able to discover her Destiny: music.

Nikki and the RueMates and Charlie Parr
This week on
Centerstage MN we're going to hear a live
concert by
Charlie Parr with an opening set from Nikki
and the RueMates. It was recorded at the 331
Club in NE Minneapolis, a long-time hotbed of MN
music, by KFAI,
our sister station in the Twin Cities. Charlie
Parr is an amazing musician who has been more
referenced as an inspiration for northern MN
musicians than anyone other than Bob Dylan...

The Brothers Burn Mountain
The phrase, "I'm just a vessel" is used a lot
when I ask artists about where their music comes
from, and while the Brothers Burn Mountain never
simply said that, I don't think it could be any
more true for them. Their music is alive - it's
a breathing force that you can feel. The music
is all around them, in everything they see. They
absorb it and appreciate it and it becomes a
part of them that then flows out with no thought
process or agenda - true musicians, true
artists.

Growing Up with Prince Lyrics
A MN music reminiscence from Dan McKenzie, an 18
year old DJ from Lawrence Lake Township and his
growing relationship with Prince from a young
boy to today - more specifically, understanding
the meaning and context of the lyrics (oh, the
innocence of youth, lol).

The Many Colors of Mark Olson
A
conversation with
Mark Olson about his new solo CD "Many
Colored Kite." That name should be familiar,
Mark was the founding member and principle
singer/songwriter with
The
Jayhawks. One of the most acclaimed bands to
come out of MN, the Jayhawks were on the
forefront of the Alt-Country scene during the
mid-80's through mid-90's and you can still hear
their impact and influence in music today. This
is Mark's 2nd solo CD, and it's a bit more
upbeat than "Salvation Blues" which came out in
2007. Other than being a world-class singer,
songwriter and performer, he's a very good
speaker too, and we talk in-depth about his
music.

Jeremy Messersmith: Rising Star from Minneapolis
National
Public Radio says Jeremy Messersmith, "seems
poised to find a national audience." This
is live acoustic performance recorded at our
sister station
Radio K,
a student-run station at the University of MN. |
The Scintillating Soul-Pop of Keri Noble
I
had never heard of the term "soul-pop" before
listening to
Keri Noble, and with her clear and powerful
voice and catchy, melodic music she introduces
the genre very well. Her music falls into the
pop category, but her vocals definitely have
that soulful edge. With a Pastor father, Keri
was raised in a religious home in Detroit and
you can hear the gospel influence in her music.
As she grew older in Minneapolis she started
questioning the judgment and exclusion side of
religion and wondered why there wasn't more
prominence of love and acceptance - something
she sings about in her amazing song "Born
Again".

Minneapolis Singer/Songwriter Alison Scott
Singer/
songwriter
Alison Scott
has a beautiful voice to stun the masses. Based
in Minneapolis, Alison works with her band
composed of Grammy-winning guitarist Kevin Bowe,
drummer Peter Anderson, and bassist Steve Price.
Her new CD was listed as one of the year’s top
10 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Jenny Graupman of Lake Effect
The
human voice can do a lot - from throat-singing
to yodeling (I'm still waiting for the forward
thinking performer who combines those...).
Multiple voices combined take it even further -
they can create a powerful wall of sound with
intricacies and melodies that go from the lowest
lows to dizzying highs.
Lake Effect, a vocal jazz ensemble out of
Duluth, have a released their first CD, "Live!"
and this is a conversation with lead vocalist
Jenny Graupmann.

Mayda Live on Centerstage MN
Her
voice is clear, emotional, powerful. Her music
is clever, engaging, intimate. Her name is Mayda,
and she performed live at the KAXE Studios June
24th on Centerstage MN. An adoptee from Korea,
CSMN host Doug MacRostie said, "her music is so
emotional and consuming, so intimate and
personal. It's like there is a wildfire blazing
away inside of her, and it burns through her
music setting anyone who listens ablaze."

The Beautiful and Lonely Courtney Yasmineh
While
dreams of being a rockstar and performing around
the world are in the hearts and minds of many
aspiring songwriters, the reality of the music
industry can be a cold, hard place. Through hard
work and dedication Courtney Yasmineh has taken
her music not only all over the U.S., but around
the world and her latest release, "Beautiful
Lonely" has taken her revealing and emotional
songwriting in more of a rock direction
sonically with highlights of pop...Read

Sam Miltich and the Big Dipper Jazz Band
"Sometimes
it's hard to get enough bread to pass
around...but I'm dedicated to the art form,"
said Sam Miltich of Grand Rapids about his new
group
The Big Dipper Jazz Band. While only a few
weeks old now, Sam's impressive band of 6
musicians are already booked to headline the
annual Dylan
Days celebration in Hibbing and also for
KAXE's
Annual Membership Meeting and Dance (that's
when you know you've REALLY made it BIG ;D).

Steve Kaul: The Brass King Himself
The
difference between seeing a band live and
hearing a band on CD can be night and day. The
reason for this is simple: it's hard to recreate
the energy that flows between an artist and
audience when working in-studio. So, bands often
release live albums - sometimes good, sometimes
bad. In the case of
The
Brass Kings new release "Live Humdinger,"
it's very, very good - and singer/songwriter
Steve Kaul will be my guest this week on
Centerstage MN
to talk about it...Read

Roma Di Luna
The
band name Roma Di Luna translates to 'Gypsies of the Moon' - the
name is a mish-mash of different languages and cultures; 'Roma'
references the gypsy life-style and the sound in Eastern
European folk music, and 'Di Luna' meaning 'the moon' in
European and American cultures. This combining of cultures and
styles serves as a perfect name to represent the unique and
exciting sound that is Roma Di Luna...Read

MN Underground Hip-Hop with Alex Aldrich
...Alex is 24 years old. He joined the military when
he was 17 and served in Iraq. He told me that when he was young(er), he didn't have a huge emotional connection with
music. His older sister started sending him music while he was
overseas, which helped to fill the long voids of staring out at
the desert on duty and waiting during down time. This is when
his passion and connection with music was born. I can't imagine
the situation, but I can understand developing an intimate
connection with music, which we'll be talking about...Read

Aaron Kaercher: User Friendly Centerstage MN
Aaron Kaercher is a singer/songwriter from Ely
who writes unique music that blends many
different styles. He released his first solo CD,
"User Friendly Radio" last year, and while there
definitely is a thread that ties all the music
together, the range of sounds and genres is
impressive. From the friendly and fun "smile" to
the moody and edgy "She," the album covers as
many emotions and feelings as it does styles.
