Join us for Homegrown 2024 on Superhero Friday! The Duluth Homegrown Music Festival (duluthhomegrown.org) is an annual community celebration of the original and diverse music of Duluth, Minn. and its surrounding communities. What started in 1999 with ten acts has matured to an eight-day community-wide local music, arts and cultural extravaganza.
Zeitgeist Arts’ black-box theater (zeitgeistarts.com) in Downtown Duluth hosts theater, music and a variety of presentations throughout the year. All ages permitted.
6:30PM: Steve's Overpopulated One-man Band (stevesolkela.com)
Steve Solkela is what every southern and coastal state resident pictures when Minnesota is mentioned. The Iron Ranger-turned-Duluthian has charmed crowds across the state with his wit, old-time sense of humor and skills on his trusty accordion. Solkela’s YouTube channel features a wellspring of comedy videos, including his anthem “Up on da Range” from the 2022 album Sauna Knight. “We’re Minnesota nice ’til we get on the ice,” he sings with the most Minnesota accent humanly possible. Solkela is the Finnish bard of the Iron Range, telling tales and singing songs that make audience members laugh at themselves.
7:30PM: BIG INTO (linktr.ee/biginto)
BIG NTO is a spacy, two-piece indie rock band featuring vocalist and guitar player Jozef Conaway and drummer and vocalist Curtis Kraft Mattson. The two veteran rockers created BIG INTO in 2017 and recorded a debut album in 2020. Influenced by alt-rock icons such as Isaac Brock, John Dwyer, Doug Martsch and Ty Segall, the duo blends experimentalism with a catchy punk rawness to create a high-energy space jam sound. BIG INTO will be releasing their brand new EP at the show!
8:30PM: Zeta Carinae (zetacarinae.bandcamp.com)
Zeta Carinae is the prolific project spearheaded by electronica magician Marshall Hampton. His Bandcamp account is stacked with music. Five full-length albums were released in 2023 alone, the most recent being the funky, pulsating Spitting Field. Hampton creates synth-drenched soundscapes that sound like they were recorded inside a mirror. Zeta Carinae promises to create a unique, beat-filled musical atmosphere out of thin air. This year’s Homegrown set will see Hampton joined by special guests, including Pamela Clifton on the theremin.
