Intro Text
MN 97.5 Greatest Hits will sponsor '90s Night - Sunday July 14 (Week #1) at 7PM in Mayo Park featuring '90s Alt-Pop hit makers 10,000 MANIACS w/ Red Wing, MN native Trapper Schoepp at the Think Bank Down by the Riverside free outdoor concert series in Rochester, MN.
10,000 MANIACS - One of the most critically acclaimed bands of the last three decades. Together with artists like R.E.M., 10,000 MANIACS defined college rock and created the first wave of alternative rock bands and what became know as the alternative rock format on FM radio, with hits like “These Are Days”, “More Than This”, “Candy Everybody Wants”, and “Because The Night”.
Trapper Schoepp - This Minnesota-born, Wisconsin-based tunesmith and teller of tales (both tall and true), has earned notices in Rolling Stone, American Songwriter and Paste, with the folks at Huffington Post calling him a “master storyteller” and PBS hailing his “story songs that explore and explode the conventions of rock and roll.” His latest album ‘Primetime Illusion’, produced by Wilco multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansome, features a co-write with Bob Dylan on the track ‘On, Wisconsin’.
