For these special performances, Shelby Lynne will be focusing on her 2007 tribute to Dusty Springfield, Just A Little Lovin’. Shelby says: “Dusty Springfield was a soulful singer. You can’t ever fill her shoes. So I just set out to sing songs we all want to hear again. The road map I followed when cutting these, was the one she made years ago. It was easy. I just sang and let the songs do the work. I’m so glad I did. Dusty inspired it all.”
Rogue Valley is an Americana band based in the Twin Cities, where the blend of urban development and natural landscape converge along the shores of the Mississippi River.

Kajahl reimagines Greco-Roman artifacts, depicting Africans as mystical seaborne figures, redefining the historical portrayal of “aethiops,” an archaic term for dark-skinned people.
