Griffith describes the key events of the fire as they unfold, transporting readers to the front lines of an epic struggle that was at times heroic, tragic, and sublime.”

Live Music: Matt Griswold
2018-08-10 16:00 - 19:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Live Music, craft beer, tasty appetizers and a view of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Minnesota based Folk-Rock singer/songwriter and active musicologist, Matthew Griswold, is currently playing hundreds of his modern day minstrel-like shows each year. Though a “solo” performer in trade title, he carries a chorus of layered guitars and an array of dynamic vocal themes. Those elements are all then supported by a boot strapped foot stomping on a cigar box foot drum keeping a sacred element to the music.
Griswold’s performances are rugged, haunting, howling, bone-shaking affairs where all of the grit and soul of a man who has seen the war torn battlefields of Iraq, yet still sought hope after the worst of it’s tragedies, are brought forth through one voice and one guitar. He confidently leaves his crowds cradled in subtleties, but rocked with an undeniable presence. Those who witness him live, will experience a musician who inhabits, and is inhabited by, his music as if it were a spiritual transformation allowing him to become a fearless poet calling out through a cadence and dancing in the dragon’s den.
He has crafted an arrangement style of his own (“Hypno-tonic Grooves”), which he employs to reinvent classics, adapt traditional standards, and plug original work that stand in tribute to their deep lineage. With a well-honed talent, ego-less work ethic, and applied insights of ethnomusicology tilting the odds in his favor, Griswold has become one of the country’s most active independent working musicians. He has over ten years of strategic millage marked by thousands of live performances and hundreds of intriguing press features. Just barely in his 30s, he continues to build a dense catalog of works to be preserved by those he proudly refers to as “Witnesses of a Fellowship”.
Griswold has gained both industry notoriety and scholar respect as a Contemporary Folk music maker, and while having had many of his original songs and compositions used in various films, TV shows and commercials around the world through an elite contract with Universal Music Publishing, no matter where you find footing, you’re never far from someone who has likely been spellbound by the sounds that flow beside the howling edge of his hopeful hymns.

Portable Planetarium & Stargazing
2018-08-14 17:00 - 23:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Gaze at the stars while sipping on a pint of craft beer.
The University of Minnesota – Duluth’s mobile planetarium and their telescopes are hitting the road for a trip up the North Shore to celebrate the dark skies in northern Minnesota.
The event is free and open to all.
From the organizers:
“Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Milky Way will be visible in the evening sky. This is also the time for the Perseid Meteor shower where we can expect to see 50-70 meteors or shooting stars per hour. If it’s cloudy or raining, we can still take a tour of the universe in the GeoDome mobile planetarium.
Cloudy skies aren’t an issue with the GeoDome. We can take you on a tour of the universe rain or shine.
Daily programming will run from 5 to 11 p.m. inside GeoDome.
Free shows will be offered in the GeoDome on the half hour. If there are cloudy skies or rain limiting our outdoor activities, there will be hands-on activities in addition to the planetarium shows.
Before You Go
Wear long pants/sleeves. It may be summer, but the temperature can cool down in the evenings, and you’re not moving around very much while observing.
Wear bug spray. It’s a good idea to protect yourself from mosquitoes and you’ll enjoy the time more if you’re not having to swat away bugs. But please do not spray bug spray near the telescopes. Apply it beforehand or briefly walk away from the telescopes to spray.”
Come join us for this unique event at the brewery!
