This week on Centerstage MN we’ll be joined in-studio Alex Aldrich for a Pick 3 MN Favorites. Alex is a young music enthusiast with a taste for underground MN hip-hop. And we’ll be talking with Roma Di Luna about their latest CD “Casting the Bones” – a hauntingly beautiful album of new ‘old’ music. Centerstage MN with Doug MacRostie showcases the talents of MN musicians every [day and time].
By Doug MacRostie. Lonnie Knight was there for the first digital recording. Yes, I’m serious. He was working as Staff Guitarist at Sound 80 when 3M built the first digital machine and he was on the very first recording sessions to test it. That’s just one of the numerous examples why this Minneapolis singer-songwriter with mutliple MN Music Awards rightly is a legend in MN music. Picking up his first guitar back in the 60’s, when he was 12, Lonnie started out as a folkie, then played in some of the Midwest’s seminal bands like Jokers Wild,. Neilson-White Band and The Hoopsnakes. His professional career went beyond being a studio musician – he was also a producer for a while in Nashville. His most recent work has gone back to his acoustic roots, and Lonnie Knight will be joining me on Centerstage MN to talk about his new album, “So We Jump,” which is an excellent release of clever acoustic music bringing together many of the best aspects of Lonnie’s music.
