Founder of Duluth's Homegrown Music Festival Scott "Starfire" Lunt joins us in the studio this week to talk about how the week-long festival started, how the local music scene has grown since and how he got his nickname.
As Duluth News Tribune's arts and entertainment reporter Christa Lawler gears up for her "Super Bowl" event, which begins Sunday, May 1, she gives Homegrown newbies Tom Olsen and Brady Slater a lesson on the annual music event.
Lunt also announce that his band, Father Hennepin, will be performing with a famous person during Homegrown. As a bonus, you can hear Father Hennepin's song "Grace and Despair" in our intro and outro this week.
Side note: if you've seen Lunt's green Guild Starfire guitar you are encouraged to return it to its rightful owner.
"There is more space to let your freak flag fly. You are more willing to be yourself. Like, there's other people like you somewhere. I just think it's a really accepting group."
