Thanks to everyone who made this year's Rock the Garden a huge success! Be sure to listen on Sunday, June 29 at 7 p.m. when we present Rock the Garden Live, featuring performance highlights from this year's event.
Singer-songwriter Andrew Bird and band top a Rock the Garden bill that also features Canadian indie-rock supergroup The New Pornographers (featuring A.C. Newman, Blaine Thurier, Dan Bejar, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle, and Todd Fancey) and the eco-conscious Twin Cities favorite Cloud Cult on Saturday, June 21, 4 – 11 p.m., in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Opening the event is Bon Iver, an emerging soulful lo-fi folk solo artist from northwest Wisconsin who was one of the major hits of the South by Southwest Festival this month.
