Updated Music Line-Up:

The Nodding Wild Onions

  • The Nodding Wild Onions is an 8-piece Rochester, MN, area band made up of a variable group of musicians, committed to crossover blues as both a genre and a philosophy. The group plays familiar blues and folk songs, some less familiar songs, and some original material, including such future smash hits as “Micro-surgical Vasectomy Reversal,” “Tall Drink of Water,” and “Blue Water Blues.”

Adja Gildersleve

  • singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist

Corey Koehler

  • Corey Koehler (pronounced KAY-ler) is a local “Americana” singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist. The title of his first CD, Never Too Late <http://music.planetcorey.com/> , reflects Koehler’s own path to singing and songwriting. Around the age of 30, Koehler finally decided he wanted more than he could wean from a nine-to-five job. He picked up his guitar, which he hadn’t touched in years, and discovered not all was lost. Something about the music gave Koehler the fulfillment he was searching for.

Astrogliders

  • Astrogliders is a 3-piece alternative rock group from Rochester.

Luke ‘n Bob, Texas

  • Luke ‘n Bob, Texas is a 5-piece group from Rochester, MN.

Dan Heublein & Friends

What is Thinking Green? Thinking green means learning to live in a way that will reduce your impact on the environment, improve your quality of life, and save you money. Thinking Green is about coming together with neighborhoods, communities, organizations, and businesses to ensure that the choices we make today will not compromise the quality of life for future generations.
