Musicians in Minnesota area?

[Mary Lukkarila]

Can anyone name some well known musicians, past and present in the Minnesota area? We are working on a project for Finnfest 2008.

there is an outfit in Brainerd which produces and sells CD, etc of musical
groups. I have bought from them but can't for the life of me lay my hands
on their address. If you are close to Brainerd perhaps yellow pages may
help. I am sure these people are familiar with musical groups in Minnesota
