Heliotrope 8 Lineup Announced

One of our favorite local festivals just announced the lineup today for their 8th year running. The big change this year is that the venue has changed from the Ritz Theater to the Loring Theater near downtown Minneapolis. Drawing from some of the most innovative and interesting acts in our town, Heliotrope is a great 3 day window into what’s happening here. From the psych rock of Daughters Of The Sun to saw and accordion duo Dreamland Faces, the festival once again covers a lot of ground including a performance Friday night of free jazz legend Joe McPhee with drummer Chris Corsano. Don’t miss this one.
