Live Music at Voyageur Brewing by Matthew Griswold
2020-01-27 17:00 - 20:00 UTC | voyageur brewing company, 233 West Highway 61, Grand Marais, MN, 55604, United States
Enjoy craft beer and live music at Voyageur Brewing Company 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.

Live Music by Mumblin' Drew
2020-02-03 17:00 - 20:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Mumblin’ Drew snakes between both the traditional and the contemporary sounds of American folk music. Whether it’s old time, country blues, or modern folk sounds with minor chords and a midwest moan, he puts his heart in to his process, utilizing banjo, resonator guitar, and harmonica. From the simple to the sophisticated, Mumblin’ has spent years playing on street corners around the country, which has instilled a genuine approach in his performance.
​
Having released several recordings over the past decade with various projects, from string band, to punk-infused folk with eastern European colorings, and even hip hop, Mumblin’ Drew pushes full steam ahead with something uniquely his own. He’s absorbed the earnest stylings of many Minnesotan musicians, from the elders who have come before him, to obscure acoustic punk bands at basement performances in his younger years. Holding down an ongoing weekly residency in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis at the storied Palmer’s Bar, he’s trying to keep the legacy of the once thriving folk scene of the neighborhood alive and breathing in to the next generation. Like any enduring folk musician, his music has taken him to festivals, bars, boats, and rivers, from coast to coast, but he always calls Minnesota home.

Join us on Sunday, February 16th from 2-4pm for a presentation by Alex Messenger, author of The Twenty-Ninth Day.
This true-life wilderness survival epic recounts seventeen-year-old Alex Messenger’s near-lethal encounter with a grizzly bear during a canoe trip in the Canadian tundra. The story follows Alex and his five companions as they paddle north through harrowing rapids and stunning terrain. Twenty-nine days into the trip, while out hiking alone, Alex is attacked by a barren-ground grizzly. Left for dead, he wakes to find that his summer adventure has become a struggle to stay alive. Over the next hours and days, Alex and his companions tend his wounds and use their resilience, ingenuity, and dogged perseverance to reach help at a remote village a thousand miles north of the US-Canadian border.
The Twenty-Ninth Day is a coming-of-age story like no other, filled with inspiring subarctic landscapes and a trial by fire of the human spirit.

Live Music by Matthew Browne
2020-02-17 17:00 - 20:00 | Voyageur Brewing Company
Listen to live music at Voyageur Brewing Company from 5-8pm! Matt Browne grew up using music to escape the realities of his childhood cancer. At age 5, Browne was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Following his diagnosis, he went through years of treatments and procedures including chemotherapy. Forty-five miles separated his hometown and the Rochester Mayo Clinic. Traveling to daily doctor visits lended the time to listen to his favorite childhood musical artists, including Alan Jackson, George Strait, and Garth Brooks. Listening spiraled into a passion for memorizing songs and imitating his favorite performers. His love for music continued to grow well beyond his childhood.
Over the past several years Browne has performed across the upper-midwest, sharing his organic sound with a wide variety of listeners. His unique blend of country-Americana-pop has caught the attention of major networks and music outlets, most notably NBC’s award-winning television show “The Voice”. Over time, his ongoing craft and development as a musician has lead to the release of original music. His debut EP titled “Finding My Way” was released in 2018, followed by the release of a new single “Northern Nights” in December of 2019. Matt Browne’s homegrown, original music can be found on download and streaming services including iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify.

National Beer Day Celebration
2020-04-07 16:00 - 20:00 | voyageur brewing company, 233 West Highway 61, Grand Marais, MN, 55604, United States
Join us on April 7th to celebrate the end of Prohibition and raise a pint to the delicious beverage we make in house. Participate in beer games in the taproom and receive half-priced pints from 4-8pm.
Here’s our historical rationale for the party:
“National Beer Day is celebrated in the United States every year on April 7, marking the day that the Cullen–Harrison Act was enacted after having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. Upon signing the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.” The law went into effect on April 7 of that year, allowing people to buy, sell and drink beer containing up to 3.2% alcohol by weight (or 4.05% by volume) in states that had enacted their own law allowing such sales. People across the country responded by gathering outside breweries, some beginning the night before. On that first day, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed, inspiring the future holiday. Today, April 7 is recognized as National Beer Day and April 6 is known as New Beer’s Eve.”
