Jaspar Lepak at Lake Harriet Bandshell for Minneapolis Music in the Parks
A child of the Sonoran Desert, Jaspar Lepak is a folk/Americana songwriter whose remarkable gift for melody is only surpassed by her poetry. Deeply influenced by the many places she has called home (Tucson, Durban, Seattle, and currently Minneapolis), she sweeps across landscapes with an emotional depth that is extraordinary, writing with a brave vulnerability while her clear, pure voice touches the heart.
Since 1892, Music in the Parks has provided residents and families opportunities to gather and enjoy local entertainment throughout the summer. The program has hosted thousands of free concerts at beautiful park venues, including the Lake Harriet Bandshell, Minnehaha Park Bandstand, Father Hennepin Bluff Park, Nicollet Island Pavilion, Bryant Square Park and Theodore Wirth Regional Park. Every summer, local Minneapolis artists and bands put on a show every day for their fellow residents and neighbors. Concerts vary from classic rock, jazz, hip hop, folk, classical, concert bands, and many more genres of music to please all ears.
