Music in the Weeds is a WTIP original feature that takes listeners on an auditory and visual journey to meet music makers on their turf. That could be in their backyards, in their communities, or at locations special or significant to them and their craft. This feature brings you the voices of North Shore artists as a way to document how local musicians are facing life’s challenges through creating music in places that are meaningful to them.
Music in the Weeds is supported in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
