David Huckfelt & Erik Koskinen at the Dakota

“Stunning to say the least. But dazzling overall.” – No Depression

David Huckfelt has shared stages with a staggering diversity of artists from Mavis Staples, Emmylou Harris, and Greg Brown, to Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, and Gregory Alan Isakov. In thousands of shows across the United States, Canada & overseas, Huckfelt’s performances range from small-town opera houses and Midwestern barn concerts to national tours and festival stages. His songs are peopled with the kind of imagery and insight that gives Huckfelt a singular voice and perspective among songwriters of his generation.

Blending American folk, country, rock-n-roll, and blues, Erik Koskinen realizes a sound that is distinctive and fresh while familiar and rooted. Knowing but not didactic, Koskinen channels the ways of Whitman and reverently enters the anthology of uniquely crafted wry songs with the likes of Woody Guthrie, Ry Cooder and Randy Newman while speaking as plainly as your neighbor. The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls Koskinen “the real deal and the best country songwriter in Minnesota.”
