Music @ Franconia: Jaedyn James & the Hunger

Now in its 23rd year, Franconia Sculpture Park has perfected the ultimate summer music series.  Bring a blanket, grab a bite to eat from either Yummies (Greek), Asase Yaa Global Foods, or Cotton Candy Ice Cream. Visit Mary Johnson’s famous Lizard Lounge for a Freezie Pop and a beverage! Enjoy an afternoon of song, dance, and sculpture.

In the event of rain, Franconia has a large tent set up to shelter guests. All events are family & dog friendly. Please pick-up after your furry friends.

We like to sing.

Prairie Fire Lady Choir is a Twin Cities-based, a cappella singing group of sixty members who raise their collective voices across the state in support of art, community, and creativity. The current repertoire includes covers from local artists Aby Wolf, Prince, The Replacements, Matt Latterell, Chris Koza as well as original compositions from talented choir members.

4:00 Jaedyn James and The Hunger
http://www.jjandthehunger.com/
Jaedyn James is the lead of the eight piece ‘Raw Funk & Aggressive Soul’ band called The Hunger. Consumed by her passion at 24 years old, James quit her full time job and assembled a group of musicians based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. JJ’s work ethic, energy, and music reflect the stylings of James Brown, Etta James, Lucille Ball, Marina Abromovich, and ee cummings.

This activity is made possible, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
