Harp & Sol: a freshly spun musical tale

At the center of all things lives Kora the Harp Spider. Every day she weaves a harp for the Sun to play. When the Sun delights Kora's harp each dawn, a new Song is born. Our heroine, the newest Scrip of Song is to be born tomorrow. Straight into the Human Heart she will huckleberry slide. Until...

Soundtracked live by Geoffrey Taylor on his 5-string fiddle and more, and narrated in Mary Overlie's inventive rhyme, audiences of all ages might find themselves not only rooting for, but helping our plucky Scrip of melody as she approaches her Birthiest-of-Days. 

With performances in Fosston, Park Rapids & Bemidji, theater goers of all ages can join in the spinning of this new, yet timeless, tale.

Enjoy a FREE performance in Fosston!

Jordan Messerole

Jordan Messerole

From the depths of his Iowa roots, multi-award winning songwriter Jordan Messerole writes songs that vary as greatly as the wild flowers in the native tall grass. Messerole does frequently write about that flora, as well as the fauna of the region. Not to mention all of its wild life. Not one to shy away from subject matter, the songs can frequently meander across the lines between love and loss, success and failure, or life and death. Messerole masterfully blends the sounds of his guitars with thoughtful lyrics, an engaging stage presence, and often rack harmonica to tell gritty American tales that are bound to evoke emotion from all of his listeners.

Concert is FREE! Join us at the picnic tables at the historic Larson house or bring a lawn chair or blanket cozy up on the lawn.
