Road Reports #1

By Becca Martin

See behind the stage into the revealed lives of Minnesota musicians on tour in their own words.

“When we played in Pittsburgh, Adam To (Moonstone Continuum) and friends from Minneapolis were the best hosts!  They happen to be killer chefs and we arrived at their sweet pad to find an incredible spread…homemade falafel, gnocchi, pad thai, curry stew, beet salad and rice krispie treats to name a few.  We stuffed our faces after hauling the gear up a few flights to be safe overnight.  Three hours of sleep later, we repacked the van to get our tired booties to NYC in time for load in.”

MN women rock! – Mayda, Hannah von der Hoff and Holly Newsom

This is the review I have been dying to do! It is also the least objective piece that I will ever write. Sorry!  For a lady who has been music and musician obsessed for a long time, I adore this time in MN music.  Every weekend I can see my three local favorites belting it out, sometimes two in one night.

Show Review – Live Letters – Featuring Mayda.

The night that I went to see Mayda host the Live Letters event I met Stevie Wonder. No kidding. He was warm, cuddly, and I let him sit in my lap.  Mayda also did a fantastic impression of him. FYI, Stevie is the Siamese cat of Live Letters co-creator Sara Montour.
