Chester Creek Music In The Park Releases Line Up
The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation has released the lineup for the 2021 season for music in the park at the Chester Bowl Park.
There are some surprise names on the list, like Mary Bue, but it also includes Breanne Marie and the Front Porch Sinners, who put out the best local music cd recently and will feature some of that music. Mary Bue also released an album recently and was recognized with awards this past year.
The concerts take place every Tuesday night at 7 PM with the first night starting June 15. Then in August, it switches to a 6:30 PM start time. Feel free to bring blankets or lawn chairs to sit on. Plan on sitting with a little room in front of the stage for dancing. Families are encouraged to attend, with swings, and other playground equipment to enjoy. Parking does get a little tough but if you are patient you will find one.

Surprise! It s Manheat
Among the more unpredictable ways to end 2020: a new Manheat album that dropped seemingly out of nowhere and on to Bandcamp. “Blood Booze and Babyteeth” doesn’t give you a chance to settle in for a listen it just rams right into you and tells you to “leave your nonsense to yourself.”
