Tonight: Snozberries
In the previous millennium, a gang of music makers in a sweaty basement rehearsal space in the woods of Collegeville gave birth to a new strain of music: a healthy mix of earth, funk, punk and Minneapolis garage rock that still echoes in the minds of many. The Snozberries have dusted off the old fiddle and Les Paul, bandaged up the old thumping bass thumb, ironed up the red plaid shirts and banded together to revive SnozRock for another generation of dreamers of dreams.
