And we progress across this nationwide journey of songs and stop today in my current home state - Minnesota.
There weren't a lot of songs to pick from that had "Minnesota" in the title. Maybe it's because Minnesotans are just too passive-aggressive to write songs abut their home state. (If you don't have something nice to say...)
The Lower 48's bio: Ben Braden and Sarah Parson began writing and singing folk music together in the winter of 2009 in Minneapolis, MN. Within a few months they were playing shows in Minneapolis, Chicago and other Midwestern venues, and before summer they had finished recording their first release, the critically praised EP “Everywhere To Go.” Following the release of “Everywhere To Go,” Ben and Sarah headed west, relocating The Lower 48 to Portland, OR. In the summer of 2010, Nicholas Sadler, another Minneapolis native relocated to Portland, and joined the band as percussionist.
They have some great music and are definitely worth exploring.
Happy listening!
