North Country Characters - Sutter Brothers
The Sutter Brothers explore the experience of Scandinavian immigrants and their descendants. Bart and Ross Sutter have established individual reputations as musician and writer but when they perform as a pair their work has the kind of counterpoint and easy intimacy unique to siblings' acts. A Sutter brothers performance is a fun-filled blend of music, storytelling and poetry highlighting their small town, preacher's kid roots and Scandinavian heritage. The Sutters have ties to the region as they spent most of their formative years in Petersburg, south of Jackson so this will add a special dimension to the performance. (A portion of this program paid with 2016 funds.)
