Known for featuring the region’s best musical ensembles, as well as giving local singers, songwriters, and writers a chance to build community through their art, this monthly gathering offers a listener-friendly open mic opportunity and welcoming environment for folks to listen and perform.

Featured Performer:

Momma Wags & Boomer, aka Kathy Wagner and Larry Kimball, met through Kathy’s son Charley Wagner, where Kathy joined Charley and Larry busking around Walker MN. That musical seed bloomed into MW&B when they got together to work on Kathy’s vocal rehabilitation following surgery, sharing music they lived and loved over the decades. Forgetting lyrics since 1969, these two play music from the 70s-not the decade, that’s just how old they are! Medically cleared to play tempos up to and including 160 bpm, Momma Wags sings to Boomer’s acoustic guitar accompaniment and harmony. Hailing from Longville and Walker, these two greatly appreciate every day they can share music and good vibrations!

We are committed to offering arts access for everyone, making scholarships available to youth and adults. As a non-profit, we receive support not only from program tuition but from arts organization grants, state agencies, and donations from community members.

Guided by our organizational values of Inclusion & Diversity; Empowerment; Creativity & Innovation; and Collaboration & Community Building, we are passionate about providing a gathering space and instructional opportunities for learning and growth through the arts.
