What’s going on in Albert Lea this weekend? Well let me share a few of things we have run across.
Friday and Saturday we are looking forward to the Big Island Bar-B-Que. We attended a similar event earlier this summer and we had a fabulous time. Most of the teams competing have their families involved. Their kids cook in the kids-Q, they team up with other family members to make their competition as successful as possible. Check out the flyer below for more details.
Here are some other options for your Friday night:

“Matt Hannah is a Michigan-native and Minneapolis-based folk Americana singer-songwriter. His debut solo acoustic album Let the Lonely Fade(2014; Gamine Records) has been heard on The Current and 100 other radio stations around the country, and he has performed throughout the midwest including at the Midwest Music Fest. Hannah is now at work on his sophomore album Dreamland, expected in late 2016. Strongly influenced by traditional songwriters like Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, and Townes Van Zandt, Matt Hannah is creating music that disregards modern artifice and goes straight for the real thing-the earnest folk Americana we’ve been waiting for.”
