By Centerstage MN host Doug MacRostie. I could sit and talk with Mary LaPlant all day; she’s one of those positive people that is just fun to be around. Classically trained on the violin, Mary is a 3 Time MN State Fiddle Champion with 2 albums out, Serenity & Out of Nowhere. Her style is lyrical and sure. While Mary clearly loves music, her concern for the environment was stronger and she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and Minor in Music. With the sounds of the woods and birds recorded and mixed into her albums, you can close your eyes and picture her sitting high in a tree playing music with the wilderness. Mary says, “When I’m playing violin and when I’m in the forest, time stands still and I am fully alive”. She’ll perform in-studio for us and we’ll talk about her music this week on Centerstage MN.

Everyone once in a while you hear something that truly stands out; it’ll get into your head and make your inner-animal instinct cryout with pure emotion. That happened last week to me with Danny Friedman and the Beastman Band, a 3 piece hybrid of rockabilly, R&B, Country-folk and hard funk out of Duluth MN. They’ve just put out their self-titled, debut album. I’ll be talking with Danny Friedman about the many layers to their music on Centerstage MN.
