Concert set in Gregory Park
One Night Stand will kick off a summer music series at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 3, at Gregory Park in Brainerd.
The concert is free and open to the public. The summer series is a collaboration between Brainerd Parks and Recreation Department and The Center. Organizers changed the name of the concert series to Performances in the Park because not all performances will be musical concerts. Those who attend each week will enjoy a variety of performances.
One Night Stand is a group of musicians who perform widely in the Brainerd lakes area. They craft their own wonderful and unique arrangements of well-known songs from a catalog of rock, blues, jazz and gospel tunes, a news release stated.
“Up in the land where Paul Bunyan statues are big and the tall tales about him are even bigger, lie some of Minnesota’s most beautiful resort communities. This is the land of 10,000 lakes and truly untouched wilderness surrounding Bemidji, Duluth, and Brainerd, among other towns, otherwise known as Minnesota’s Northwoods," the author describes her book.
Larson said she is thankful Soukup thought of her to have the opportunity to write her first book.
“Writing my first book and raising my first flock of chickens really helped me stay positive during the lockdowns,” Larson said. “I believe these opportunities also helped my husband through the year, he was my sidekick for a few trips. He s not a genuine MsStorian, but he fills in when my team is away.”
The author has been to many places in the Northwoods, so she already had information and photos of some of the places, and she visited other places for the book or did research or phone or email. Larson said there are 100 things to do in the book, but some places have more than one entry, such as wineries.
