Brian & John Lindula
Friday, August 15th @ 12 PM
John and Brian Lindula were born and raised in Cherry, Minnesota, on the Mesabi Iron Range, and both graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth. While in Duluth, the Lindula Brothers couldn’t help but be influenced by Bob Dylan and Trampled by Turtles. The love of these two artists led back to Woody Guthrie, then to traditional American folk, bluegrass, and old-time music, and finally to a search for the roots of this music in traditional English and Irish folk songs.
The Lindula Brothers have been playing together since 2012, and their passion for bluegrass, folk, and traditional music has led them to travel the country to learn and play guitar, mandolin, and banjo. On these travels and during his time living in Alaska, John wrote some original songs inspired by the folk songs of our land.
