Project Overview
Ten new episodes of Backroads will be produced. Backroads is a live music program featuring local musicians from across north central Minnesota on Lakeland PBS. Performances are recorded in front of a live audience at the Rail River Folk School in Bemidji.
Backroads fulfills the goals of Legacy funding by exposing the citizens of north central Minnesota to local musicians they might not otherwise be familiar with. Musicians featured on Backroads have noted that the exposure gained through the broadcasts has helped them promote their performances and increase awareness of their recorded work.
