For the most part, music lovers will have to enjoy Duluth s Homegrown festival from home this year. We hate being so lame, but we don t want to kill anyone, organizers sheepishly explain in the handy Duluth Homegrown Field Guide.
The popular music and arts festival whose 22nd year kicks off Sunday was sidelined altogether in 2020 by COVID-19, and now it s returning as an almost entirely virtual event.
However, some unofficial in-person events have been emerging. Foremost is Homegrown pioneer Scott Starfire Lunt s outdoor birthday concert series with Black Eyed Snakes, Charlie Parr, Lanue, Father Hennepin and more starting Wednesday at Earth Rider Brewery in neighboring twin port Superior, Wis.
