MAX TICKETS
Maximum tickets available – 250

DETAILS
Named in honor of Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass Music,” Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, original bluegrass and even selections outside the bluegrass genre. Their superb musicianship and on-stage rapport have entertained audiences across the United States, Canada and Europe.

For nearly 20 years this Minnesota based band has averaged over 100 shows a year. They love introducing newcomers to bluegrass music!

Monroe Crossing is made up of five very distinct personalities with differing musical backgrounds. When combined, their individual histories make for a unique sound. The three original members are: Mark Anderson (bass), Lisa Fuglie (fiddle & lead vocals) and Matt Thompson (mandolin & harmony vocals). Derek Johnson (guitar & lead vocals) joined in 2011. David Robinson (banjo, dobro & backing vocals) joined in 2012 and now performs with the band on a part-time basis. In 2007, Monroe Crossing was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. They have twice been selected to showcase at the annual World of Bluegrass convention hosted by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) and they have appeared twice at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In 2016, Monroe Crossing had the honor of being the first Minnesota bluegrass band to perform in South Korea.

Express Yourself in Purple: Artists’ Reception and Honorary Celebration for Prince

We invite the public to get into the theme of Purple for the Express Yourself in Purple Artists’ Reception. Join us as you sip wine while you enjoy a still life painting or photography depicting grapes and wine to a sculpture painted in purple or representations of a floral garden in purple. A study in Purple….is where we’re at.  We’re excited to see you at the Gallery, where all walls are decked in the color Purple and the inspirations of our member and guest artists. Wear purple and your name is entered into a door prize drawing!

In conjunction with the Artists’ Reception, the ACCC will honor Prince posthumously as our 2021 Honorary Member of the ACCC this evening. We celebrate with live music, guest speakers and more. As his favorite color was purple… it’s natural to bring everyone together as we paint the County Purple for the month of June. Join in the County wide event, Purple Reigns. Purple Reigns is approved by the Prince Estate, Paisley Park.
