Bernie King in the Guilty Pleasures might be tough to bracket but they sure are easy to enjoy. A little bit blues, a little bit blue grassroots, a little bit rock, and a little bit kitchen sink, a style of music that some fans have come to call “blues-grass”. You’ll hear some great original songs inspired by the styles of Shane McGowan, Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones and Bill Monroe. With a rough and tumble mix of guitar, banjo, mandolin, string bass, washboard, snare drum and accordion, Bernie King and the Guilty Pleasures are exactly what the doctor ordered.

Lamont Cranston Band – At The Zumbrota State Theatre

This legendary Midwest band has played with every one from Muddy Waters to Bonnie Raitt to The Rolling Stones.  Their 80’s hit “Upper Mississippi Shakedown” still gets regular radio airplay all over the country.  In 2010, the band was inducted into the Mid-America Music Hall Of Fame.  Their 30^th anniversary in 2009 included being honored with their own “Lamont Cranston Day” by the City Of St. Paul and the State Of Minnesota, a lifetime achievement award, a City Of Duluth “Ambassadors Of The Blues Award”, and an induction into the Minnesota Music Hall Of Fame.  A rockin’ party band that can’t be beat.  Dan Aykroyd says “No one infects venues with the party virus quite like Lamont Cranston”.
