6-7pm Jerry Kosak

Jerry Kosak <https: /> is a guitarist and composer hailed for his “obvious talent and wonderfully recorded guitar” (Tommy Emmanuel), as well as his “great spirit and mean guitar playing” (Don Alder). His genre-bending programs and wide-ranging collaborations have grown out of “a great reflection of many different styles” (KBEM Jazz 88). Kosak has collaborated with world-class artists across genres and disciplines including DJ Freddy Fresh (Austin Powers in Goldmember), Grammy-winning guitarist Pat Donohue, and MRAC and MAC grant-recipient visual artists Petra Johnita Lommen and MaryBeth Garrigan (Avian Night Sky).
7-9pm PK Mayo
A native son of northern Minnesota, PK Mayo <https: /> grew up in the mining town of Eveleth. From an early age, when he was known as Paul Kennedy Mayasich, he soaked up a wide range of diverse styles of music coming over the airwaves of the local college radio station, KUMD. Mayo has played behind a veritable who’s who of rock, blues and jazz royalty including Johnny Lang, Tracy Nelson, David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Shannon Curfman, Dinah Washington, Jack McDuff, Terry Evans, Big Walter Smith, Bernard Allison, Leland Sklar and Mark Naftalin, to name a few. He’s racked up a shelf of awards, including induction into both the Minnesota Blues Hall of Fame and the Minnesota Rock & Country Hall of Fame. Mayo’s abilities playing slide guitar (acoustic and electric) with his rare touch, feel and dynamism on the instruments, combined with his accomplished original songwriting and soulful vocals - Mayo is the complete package.
