Inspired by Winter: an Evening of Music and Literature – Call for Artists January 27, 2022

The Literary Committee and Music Committee of ACCC invite you to be part of an evening of music and literature that will warm your heart through themes of Starry Nights, Winter Sundays, Home Blue, or Missing You.  If you would like to read or perform, choose one of those themes for yourself and create a musical piece or a literary work to be presented on January 27, 2022, at the Chaska Community Center.
The music or literary work does not have to include the words of the theme, just the sentiment or idea of it.  Music can be an instrumental or a song.  Writers and musicians will perform only one piece and should limit their piece to no more than 5 minutes.   If you have questions about the event, please contact Steve Kelzer kelzer2025@gmail.com or Susan Coultrap-McQuin coultrap@gmail.com .  We are looking forward to this evening of collaboration between musicians and writers.  We hope you will join us!

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.
