Ol' Yeller
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since January 20, 2007 • First Mainroom show since September 6, 2006 • 10th Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since August 12, 2005
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.

From last.fm:
Charlie Parr plays original and traditional folk and Piedmont-style blues, accompanying himself on National resonator guitar, 12-string guitar and sometimes a banjo. He was raised in Austin, Minnesota, in a household that prized traditional American folk music and his style bears the influence of hours spent listening to country blues records and Smithsonian/Folkways field recordings; often in the garage. He currently lives in Duluth, Minnesota. Read more about Charlie Parr on Last.fm.
