Songwriters in the Round #35

The Songwriters in the Round Series is proudly sponsored by the Hallberg Family Foundation

Admission is Free.

May 25th at 7pm, the Songwriters in the Round Series continues

with its 35th installment at the Main Gallery Stage featuring the original music of Nathan Frazer, Shane Nelson and Matt Arthur.

Nathan Frazer

I'm a folksinger, and songwriter from East Central MN. I've been playing around the Northern Pine County and Carlton County area for 15 years, with several sorties into to the Iron Range, Wisconsin, Duluth and the Twin Cities. I've been featured on Midwest Country For RFD-TV, and on the radio at KBEK, KTWH, & KUMD. I've got several professional albums out, and several DIY studio projects released as well. 

Shane Nelson

Singer/Songwriter Shane Nelson from Superior, WI, has been playing guitar and writing songs since he was a small child. Shane started the band “Crescent Moon” in high school, and started to gain regional recognition, winning Junior Achievement’s Battle of the Bands at the DECC, and playing three to four nights a week at venues throughout the Northland. Crescent Moon was together for more than 10 years, opening for national acts such as Toad the Wet Sprocket, Survivor, Confederate Railroad, and touring throughout the midwest, until the unexpected passing of the band’s drummer and Shane’s best friend, Zachary Ross in the summer of 2022.

Matt Arthur.

A Southern Minnesota blind man with a voice that calls to mind Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Nick Cave. He writes and records songs that conjure up early-70s Stones and Crazy Horse-era Neil Young. Fans of Sturgill Simpson and the Drive By Truckers are seriously into Matt Arthur’s music. He is a true American original, and unlike any musician you’re likely to encounter.
