SUMMARY:Jeff Reinartz
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Reinartz is a singer/songwriter from  Austin\, Minnesota. He’s been performing live for over 30 years and is a veteran of several bands. He is now a solo acoustic performer and has released two EPs that were produced by Scotty Rohr at Zension Studio in Austin. \n\n\n\n\nI believe that we’re here to use our talents and abilities to the benefit of others\, so after 22 years in the corporate world with a Fortune 300 company\, I resigned in 2019 to pursue my music interests full time. I didn’t necessarily count on a global pandemic\, but as things have loosened up I’ve been able to play more and more\, doing acoustic shows at primarily breweries and wineries in Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa\, and building a small following organically.” \nJeff Reinartz

SUMMARY:Charlie Parr
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a night of amazing music with Minnesota based Smithsonian Folkways Recording Artist Charlie Parr! He will be performing live at Mineral Springs Brewery. Witness Charlie’s unique foot stomping style of blues\, folk and Americanna. This brewery setting in Owatonna is one of smallest venues on Charlie’s current tour. This is an event you won’t want to miss! Get your tickets before they sell out.  \n\n\n\nIn the music of Charlie Parr\, there is a sincere conviction and earnest drive to create. The Minnesota-born guitarist\, songwriter\, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows\, writing and rewriting songs as he plays\, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him\, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. Parr sees himself merely as a continuer of a folk tradition: “I feel like I stand on a lot of big shoulders\,” he said in an interview. “I hope that I’ve brought a little bit of myself to the music.” \n\n\n\nWith a discography simultaneously transcendental in nature and grounded in roots music\, Charlie Parr is the humble master of the 21st century folk tradition. Parr started recording in Duluth in 2002\, where he lives today. Life in the port town on Lake Superior has a way of bleeding into his work the same way his childhood in Austin\, Minnesota does. Parr self-released his debut album\, Criminals and Sinners\, and did the same for his sophomore album 1922 (2002). With growing popularity abroad\, Parr signed with Red House Records in 2015\, where he recorded break-out albums Stumpjumper (2015) and Dog (2017). Parr’s music has an overwhelming sense of being present and mindful\, and his sound is timeless. \n\n\n\nParr’s mastery of his craft is only more apparent when contextualized within the history of folk tradition of which Parr has dedicated his practice The land and lives around and intersecting with Parr have always influenced him\, from the hills and valleys of Hollandale\, Minnesota to the Depression-era stories from his father. Parr strives to listen to everything: “I don’t see that I’d ever be capable of creating anything if it weren’t for these inspirations and influences\, books and music as well as the weather and random interactions with strangers and animals. So\, the well never runs dry as long as my eyes and ears are open\,” Parr said in a 2020 interview. Before he was even 10 years old Parr was rummaging through his father’s record collection—sometimes drawing dinosaurs on the vinyl sleeves—and listening to country\, folk\, and blues legends\, many of whom are staples in the Folkways catalog. When Parr sings and plays his resonator or 12-string\, you can hear influences like Mance Lipscomb\, Charley Patton\, Spinder John Koerner\, Rev. Gary Davis\, and Dock Boggs. This is especially true in his playing\, when\, after a diagnosis of focal dystonia\, Parr turned to greats like Davis\, Doc Watson\, and Booker White for two-finger picking inspiration. Gifted a 1965 Gibson B-45 12-string by his father\, Parr has never had a formal lesson and learned by to listening records and watching musicians he admired. \n\n\n\nParr’s first album with Smithsonian Folkways\, Last of Better Days Head (2021)\, foregrounded his lyrical craftsmanship and sophisticated bluesman confidence\, with spare production highlighting Parr’s mastery of guitar and elevating his poetry. Last of Better Days Ahead is a portrait of how Parr saw the world in that moment\, reflecting on time and memories that have past while holding an enduring desire to be present. In his 2024 release\, Little Sun\, Parr weaves together stories celebrating music\, community\, and communing with nature. Putting forth an ambitious and raw album that exemplifies the best of Parr’s sound: a blend of the blues and folk traditions he continues to carry with him and the steadfast originality of a poet.

SUMMARY:The Gated Community
DESCRIPTION:In 2006 South Asian-American Yale graduate and political activist Sumanth Gopinath started a country/bluegrass band in Minneapolis called The Gated Community. Influenced by his dad’s classic country record collection and modern Americana bands like The Flatlanders\, the band mixes folk\, bluegrass and country music with a raw\, rock edge. \n\n\n\nBorn in Chicago\, Sumanth’s family relocated to Slidell\, Louisiana when he was nine. “At first\, my brother and I hated the place. We consciously decided not to adopt southern accents\, but we were of course surrounded by them\, and by contemporary country music\,” he recalls. Later\, as a grad student at Yale he fell under the musical mentorship of fellow graduate student and Chapel Hill\, North Carolina country/bluegrass veteran Rob Slifkin\, who introduced him to the music of classic Americana artists. Sumanth’s songwriting quickly blossomed in country music—a genre he’d shunned since his days in Slidell. “Playing a form of country and getting to ‘play southern’ became a form of therapy\, a way of dealing with all of the unpleasant bullying\, racism\, and social dislocation that I experienced while growing up in Louisiana.” \n\n\n\nIn 2005\, Sumanth moved from New Haven to Minneapolis to begin working as a professor of music theory at the University of Minnesota. There he would meet fellow faculty members and grad students with whom he would form The Gated Community – a delightfully raucous country band whose lively shows and pointed social commentary quickly gained a cult following in the Twin Cities. Although the band began as a vehicle for Sumanth’s frequently political songs\, the band has evolved over the last 19 years\, expanding in size and scope to include many roots music styles and more personal songwriting. Now featuring six singers\, the band combines professors like Sumanth (vocals\, acoustic guitar\, keyboards) and Beth Hartman (vocals\, percussion)\, and artists from various parts of the Twin Cities scene like Rosie Harris (vocals\, banjo\, cello)\, Paul Hatlelid (vocals\, drums\, acoustic guitar)\, Cody Johnson (vocals\, bass)\, and Nate Knutson (vocals\, guitars\, mandolin). This current lineup has been featured on their last two albums – The Honor and Glory of The Gated Community (2023) and Goodbye Work (2025) – showing the band “stepping out of their Marxist bluegrass novelty band box to create emotionally complex songs” (Dispatch).  \n\n\n\nAbout the interesting mix of people in the band\, Sumanth says “Even though I have strong social ties to the academic world\, I don’t like hanging out only with academics. I prefer to work with people from all walks of life—whether they be union organizers\, office workers\, or full-time artists.” Although the band members’ interests are indeed varied (kids\, dogs\, photography\, books\, cooking\, community organizing)\, they all love music\, travel and exploring historic sights while on the road. \n\n\n\nSumming up the band’s commitment to being a band of and for the people\, The Gated Community continues to stay true to its mission – to pursue the ideals of the American dream as expressed and embodied in the form of country music.
