Legacy Reporting 2023

Sarah Krueger comes to us from Duluth, Minnesota. Culled from the title of a poem that found its way to Krueger from a thrift store shelf, Lanue comes to us as a project that stands firmly in front of a fresh creative backdrop and boasts a more developed taste and sincerity than Krueger's previous releases - both a welcome departure and anticipated return. ● Rachael Ianiro | 2507 Ianiro grew up in Detroit Lakes, MN with two older sisters and the world’s best mom and dad. They’d sit in the garage listening to Rock-N-Roll while their dad rebuilt muscle cars. From this foundation, Rachael found her love for music, the guitar, and writing songs. ● Swallows | 2508 The music group Swallows features a mashup of talented musicians who play an array of instruments mixed with harmonizing vocals. Their music has been described as a mix of rock, folk, classical, and Americana among other distinguished sounds. ● ELSKA | 2509 Minnesota-native ELSKA and songwriting partner Owen Sartori started writing in 2019, exploring her deepest passions, concerns and fears. It was during this process that she decided to adopt a stage name that reflected the seriousness, strength and heart of the music itself. She chose ELSKA, which is a Norse word roughly translated as 'love.' (pictured below left)

● Charlie Parr | 2510 An easily confused and very shy individual, Charlie Parr has been traveling around singing his songs ever since leaving Austin Minnesota in the 1980's in search of Spider John Koerner, whom he found about 100 miles north at the Viking Bar one Sunday night. The experience changed his life and a lifetime of memories and music was the result. (pictured above right)

1 60-minute documentary, 12 3-5 minute interstitials

DESCRIPTION: Tag along for part 2 as we continue to explore some of the unique landmarks that make our communities so special. Decide who has the best Paul Bunyan in the Northland and meet his girlfriend Lucette in Hackensack. We find several one-of-a-kind landmarks in west-central Minnesota. You can catch the largest Walleye in Baudette and visit Eveleth for their tribute to the great sport of hockey. IMPACT: Minnesota Roadside Attractions Pt. 2 fulfills the goals of Legacy funding by providing cultural awareness to viewers outside of the communities that are highlighted in this program.
