--------------
Ross Thorn has a pastoral upbringing in northern Wisconsin, whose music emanates as a warm and soulful hymn, waking up optimistically beside a snow-covered window. His sharply crafted lyrics – distinctly reminiscent to the likes of Jason Isbell – reveal internal struggles of empathy, questions of human character and virtue, and a search for hope – often finding solace in some unanticipated truth.
Life Parade are pop rockers with a clean, uplifting sound that can move and groove like early Blur or take on epic melodies like the best of Radiohead. The group is fronted by guitarist and songwriter Cameron Mathews, who began performing solo around the Twin Ports in 2014. Mathews formed Life Parade with members of the now-defunct band the Resonance, including Dan Munthe on keys and guitar, Cliff Lavigne on bass, and Scott Kimball on drums.
--------------
The 2024 lineup is our BIGGEST yet, with 18 total groups (9 headliners and 9 openers).
The event is free and open to the public from 5 to 8 pm. Gates open at 5 pm, however, for those interested, early access can be obtained by purchasing grounds admission or a tour. Each night, the opener will perform from 5:30-6 pm and the headliner will play from 6:30-8 pm.
At Concerts, guests can connect with neighbors and friends, play lawn games, grab some grub from a local food truck, enjoy a refreshing drink, eat locally-made ice cream, and take a seat by the shores of Lake Superior. Guests are encouraged to paddle or boat in to view the concert from the water or are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the show from the shore.
For each concert this year, Glensheen will also offer a free shuttle bus (with a suggested donation) between the UMD campus and Glensheen. Parking at UMD is free. More information can be found at https://glensheen.org/concerts/event-information/.
