Make your own Six-pack and get free stuff!
Last month we unveiled our collection of "Red House Six-Packs." These downloadable samplers are great companions on your next road trip, a long run or as introductions to artists you may not be as familiar with.
Now we want YOU to get involved. Hop on our Facebook page and send us a message with your six-pack. Get creative. Make up your own theme. Come up with a catchy title! As long as the songs are in our catalog they’re eligible. We'll pick our favorite and the winner will not only get their six-pack stocked in our six-pack store, but will receive our indie.alt.real download card with free tracks from our emerging artists as well as a free Our Side of Town t-shirt and CD from our 25th Anniversary celebrations! *Contest ends Wednesday, August 4th*.
MN Songwriter Spotlight added to Barnfest!
One of the silver linings of the cold winters of Minnesota is the amount of fantastic songwriting that is produced during those dark, cold months. Well, we decided to tap into that well of musicians and kick off Barnfest with a couple of our favorite local Minnesota songwriters we've come to know and love. The MN Songwriter Spotlight will feature Americana, roots, blues musicians Brianna Lane and Erik Koskinen! Make sure you're there early so you won't miss out!
For more info about Erik and Brianna as well as the other artists performing visit the Barnfest page!
