Erik Koskinen - Live at Oak Center General Store!
2025-12-13 18:30 - 21:30 | Oak Center General Store, 67011 Highway 63, Lake City, Minnesota, 55041
Erik Koskinen is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, whose music is not categorized by sub-genres. Stylistically he is on his own while heavily influenced by American roots music. The rhythmic integrity and musical tone is as important as the lyrical content and the artistic intent. Koskinen has reverently entered the anthology of uniquely crafted wry songs with the likes of Woody Guthrie and Ry Cooder while speaking as plainly as your neighbor. The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls Koskinen “the real deal” and “The best country songwriter in Minnesota”

Mumblin’ Drew’s Old Fangled Orchestrators - Live at Oak Center General Store!
2025-12-20 18:30 - 21:30 | Oak Center General Store, 67011 Highway 63, Lake City, Minnesota, 55041
Mumblin’ Drew’s Oldfangled Orchestrators (MOO) are purveyors of novelty, squeezed through a cheesecloth filter of eccentric entertainment. A string band at its core…but with a reed section – fiddle, clarinet, and saxophone play the pretty notes, while guitar and string bass hold down the rhythm. MOO reanimates music from the early 20th century – silly tin pan alley numbers, string band rags, and a tinge of jazz. Meet MOO with an open mind, and prepare to be zazzled and zowed!
