Erik Koskinen Live in Silver Bay - FULL SHOW

Rocky Wall Productions was thrilled to have Erik Koskinen and his band close out our 2023 concert season. Koskinen’s songs are stripped-down, breathe the Midwestern air, paint character portraits, and have a deceptively haunting quality. He was the perfect musician to send us off into fall and winter. Koskinen’s influences run deep. He was born in Colorado to a mother from Wichita Falls, TX, and a dad from Helsinki, Finland. His major influence growing up, primarily through his dad was singing cowboys, inspired by the Gene Autry and Roy Rogers TV shows, and later through music festivals. Like his parents, Koskinen’s lead a nomadic existence from New York state to Michigan and to Minneapolis, where he finally found a group of musicians that played patiently and shared his vision, and finally to rural Minnesota. He’s also spent time in Nashville and California, seeking his musical muse. Along the way, through construction work and other jobs, he’s been a keen observer of small towns and rural life. His music reflects that and much more. Rocky Wall Productions is a Silver Bay based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization producing and promoting live music in Silver Bay and on Lake Superior’s North Shore from Duluth to Grand Portage. This is our third year of bringing the best of Americana Music to the North Country for enjoyment by residents and visitors alike.
