Project Overview

This project involves photojournalism, blogging, and broadcast coverage of Duluth's 8-day, multi-venue, 200 band music festival. This includes special Homegrown artists in live studio performance sessions which will broadcast audio on-air and be available online with audio and video that will be derived from a one-hour local music special to be filmed with our television partner, PBS North. Festival related on-air and online announcements will be made for attendees. WDSE-FM will make a donation to the Homegrown Festival to sponsor the first night of the festival.
