RiverSong is Minnesota’s homegrown music festival on the music scene for a decade. It’s proudly one of Minnesota’s most affordable music festivals, where we work hard to offer value-priced tickets to make RiverSong affordable to everyone. Thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, and attendees, RiverSong continues to be a “must-attend” festival in the heart of summer.
So Valerie, you’ve attended RiverSong for many years and volunteered in a number of ways. Inquiring minds want to know:
What is your Minnesota tie (MN Story)?
I moved to Minnesota after my dad retired from the military. I moved around quite a bit after graduating high school, but found myself back here when I was ready to grow roots.
What is your favorite thing about RiverSong?
I only get to pick 1? It would have to be the fun, comfortable experience. Of all the festivals I’ve attended, this is always the best experience. A festival is so much more than the music (which is phenomenal every year.)
Share your top memory of RiverSong over the years.
I had my bachelorette party at RiverSong, and it was one of the best nights of my life!
Meeting Davina, The Okee Dokee Brothers, Janis Ian, and countless other performers is also in my top memories.
What are your top 5 favorite performers of all time?
Davina & the Vagabonds, Okee Dokee Brothers, Chastity Brown, Cory Chisel, so MANY MORE!
If you were to offer a tip to someone attending for the first time this year, what would it be?
Come both days and spend the ENTIRE time there. The festival is an experience including the food, hospitality, location, and music. You need to really spend the day to absorb it all.
