In this special season of Smouse in the House, I interview many of the artists who’ll perform at the inaugural Amerigrass festival at the Hook and Ladder Theater in Minneapolis.

In this episode, I met with Zak Norton and Bronson Bergeson, who together make up Poppa Bear Norton, are a country duo from northern Minnesota and one of seven acts appearing at Amerigrass, a one-day festival taking place October 7 at the Hook and Ladder in Minneapolis. The duo met me in downtown Minneapolis to talk about their musical approach, which combines comedy with classic country themes and sounds, and their larger-than-life stage personas.
