Gary Louris
From Minneapolis
First show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
Long before rising to prominence as leader of the insurgent country group The Jayhawks (and the all-star collective Golden Smog), Gary Louris grew up in Toledo, OH, where he took piano lessons as a youngster. When he was 14, his mother gave him a classical guitar, suggesting he could bring the instrument to parties and become more popular. He started writing songs in college, but it wasn't until he had graduated that he purchased his first electric guitar. Read more about Gary Louris on Last.fm.

From last.fm:
In 1981 Rich Mattson wrote his first song. It was such a great time that he still does it today. In 2000 he started Ol' Yeller after dismantling the Glenrustles (Minneapolis, 1988-1999). Ol' Yeller plays pretty much anywhere. They record and release their own albums. Their recordings are lush and pretty and soaking with buttery guitars. Live, they rock like there is no tomorrow. Ol' Yeller cd's are available online. Ol' Yeller on Last.fm.
