In moments of uncertainty, music has always risen to meet the times. _Big Hopes of Mid-America, Vol. 1_ is a bold new compilation of protest songs and music of dissent created by Minnesota artists determined to turn frustration into action — and community into momentum.
Born out of urgency following the 2024 election, the Minnesota Music Resistance (MMR) collective emerged from a shared need for solidarity within the state’s vibrant music scene. Founder Paul Engebretson rallied a wide cross-section of the community — musicians, sound engineers, record store owners, radio and podcast hosts, writers, and lifelong fans — people who understand that a music scene is more than entertainment. It’s infrastructure. It's a refuge. It’s voice. Still in its early stages, MMR is committed to finding meaningful ways to support human rights, inclusion, and the communities most vulnerable to rising authoritarian and nationalistic pressures.
