For two nights in September, the shores of Lake Superior will be alive with the sounds of music and celebration as Grand Marais holds the 15th annual Unplugged benefit concert in support of North House Folk School. Unplugged XV will be taking place on the North House campus and will feature performances from nine renowned musicians in a distinctive “in the round” format that you won’t want to miss.
To commemorate the 15th milestone, Vezner will be bringing back nine Unplugged alumni, including four inductees
These artists will be participating in a concert format which is referred to as “in the round,” where songwriters sit on stage together and take turns playing songs, sharing stories, and collaborating. “It’s very informal and leads to spontaneous collaborations,” explains Unplugged XV performer Amy Speace. “It’s about sharing the experience with fellow musicians, sharing their music as well as my own.” Unplugged XV is the perfect opportunity to truly immerse yourself in the artistic community of Grand Marais through crafts, storytelling, and music.
Unplugged XV will take place on September 15-18. To purchase tickets visit northhouse.tix.com.
