The Mad Ripple Hootenanny
March 26 – Papa Charlie's - 8-10pm | FREE
In November of 2007, writer/songwriter Jim Walsh walked into Java Jack’s coffee shop in South Minneapolis and asked the owner if he’d be a songwriter-storyteller round-robin night at his place. Walsh had been going to hear songwriters at bars and coffee shops, but had routinely been unable to hear, due to loud crowds or bad sound systems. It worked, and caught on. Walsh called it the Mad Ripple Friday Night Hootenanny and started putting line-ups together for every Friday night, with the idea being that it would last only the month of November. People loved it, supported it, and came out. People met each other, played with each other, and married each other. Since then the Hoot has landed in most every joint in the Twin Cities, as well as New York a couple times, California, Duluth, and beyond. Join us for the first-ever Hoot at Papa Charlie's...
