INTERVIEW
In this episode of Catalyst Radio we feature the upcoming music festival Buttermilk Jamboree, set for June 8-10 and put on by the non-profit cooperative Circle Pines Center. Organizers of the festival are in-studio for the show, including Rachel Zegerius of Circle Pines Center, and local musicians Ralston Bowles and Mick Lane. Both Bowles and Lane, who will perform at the festival, made a recent trip to visit legendary folk singer Pete Seeger who also has a bit of history with CPC. They also tell about that pilgrimage to visit with Seeger, who turned 93 on May 3.
Learn about Seeger's connection to CPC, as well as about the late music pioneer Big Bill Broonzy's time at the cooperative.
