A best of Minnesota music thread awhile back made me want to share this. Being a Red Dirt fan intrigued me as 1 show has now turned into 4 show residency that are all sold out to benefit NIL at OSU. Cross Canadian Ragweed reunion concert to benefit Oklahoma State athletics' NIL efforts

Then I saw Wisconsin could be in talks to do the same with Coldplay and other potential concerts.

UMN willing to do this and utilize it for similar purposes, believe they have held concerts there in the past? Who could we get to really make it worth it?
 

I’m a huge Turnpike Troubadours fan and I flagged this last night when I saw this. Will be a heck of a mini residency.

Go Turnpike Troubadours!!

Red Dirt an ambiguously defined Genre of Music based on the color of soil in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Once mostly only popular in that part of the country now mainstream thanks to the interwebs/social-media (and Zac Bryan). Most all the bands in the show went to college and/or got their start there (as did Garth Brooks and The All American Rejects).
 

Was hoping for more music fans to see the potential in Minneapolis and NIL but regardless a good update and background On CCR and OSU who capitalized well and wish one day Minnesota could ever be so lucky..:

"Red Dirt" is tough to define, but to me, you know it when you hear it. I'd call Red Dirt real contemporary country/folk/blues, as opposed to Nashville pop glam country. My daughter got me into that stuff the past few years (going to school in Central TX). Flatland Cavalry, Zach Bryan, Siverada fka Mike and the Moonpies, Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childress, etc. In my opinion, if you liked Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon and those guys more than their contemporary Nashville artists, you'd probably like the newer Red Dirt stuff more than pop country.
