In Memory of Peter Ostroushko

PeterOstroushko_rgb.jpg

Minnesota lost a music legend last week, Peter Ostroushko, at the age of 67. He was a fiddler and mandolinist, playing with greats of all kinds during his lifetime. 

Tune in on Saturday at 2pm for Part 2 of an intimate concert with Ostroushko, recorded on June 11, 2004 at the Davies Theater in Grand Rapids. Ever the storyteller, he explains how he ended up on Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, why he played with his eyes closed, and many other gems along with some incredible playing. 

Our love and great respect for Peter Ostroushko goes out to his family and all who loved him.
