This week on Minnesota Music Notes Brett Carter features Minneapolis-born singer/songwriter Ted Hajnasiewicz. According to his publicity, Hajnasiewicz is driven to write the perfect song. If doing the work is part of that, Hajnasiewicz is busily moving in that direction. Listen for catchy vocals, polished backing musicians, and a wide variety of messages in his lyrics. Just in the last year, Hajnasiewicz released a full-length album, nine singles, an EP and launched a YouTube show called The Just for Show Show.
