Rockin Rochester Road Trip!!

I've always liked alliteration (using words in a row with the same first letter as in the title of this post!) but I thought it doubly appropriate here because Dessa is one of the most literate performers I've come across, she's even written her own book!

Saturday's show at RAC is going to be like an extended session, with me asking questions in between sets of music, so bring your questions too!
We've caught her at a great time, just home from playing a string of shows at SXSW with the Doomtree crew and preparing to go on her first headlining tour to the West Coast. Should be fun!

If it's a nice day we might take the 'long way around' on Hwy 61!
Appropriate route for a Rockin' Roadtrip. Maybe stop by Red Wing for some shoes or pottery (the missus is coming with!) Wabasha Eagle Center is also a possibility since I love seeing the eagles fly by our flat in downtown Mpls and Bob Collins just turned us on to the Eagle Cam!

Check the blog Friday for an entry from her too, I bet she uses some big words!

Hey, Mark.
We have Eagles in Red Wing, too- come see them at Colvill Park. That way, you could spend more time in "Pretty Red Wing", hike to the top of Barn Bluff for a beautiful view of the Mississippi Valley.
When you are ready to leave, head to Rochester by turning at Lake City and going through Oak Center and Zumbro Falls on the way to the Art Center.

Awesomeness last night at the Rochester Art Center. I travel to the Cities frequently for concerts, so it was fabulous to not have to go so far for great music. Thanks for bringing it to US for once! Hope you got to see some eagles! BTW, I DID put "our" picture up on The Facebooks - sorry! (I'm the "older" fan who wore the Tegan & Sara shirt) Keep up the fantastic work!
