The Mad Ripple Hootenanny
Jul 18-20, 22-25

"I can only speak for myself and what's going on with me. I find it's hard to truly gauge scenes and happenings, other than for yourself. All I know is that the Hoot is the most magical musical thing I've ever been involved with. It's spontaneous and boring and amazing and raw and frightening and really truly musical and sometimes drunk. When I started doing it a year or so ago, I had a sense people were hungering for intimate, grass-roots connections to music, but I thought it was just me. People love it as much as I do, and that's inspiring."
-- Jim Walsh, interviewed by Erik Lundegaard in The Huffington Post

"This is kind of the anti-American Idol," Walsh told Minnesota Public Radio's All Things Considered. "You put four or five people together and the magic that happens is unique to that moment. I just sensed organically that people were hungry for the same thing I was hungry for: And it's community, and it's songs. It's original songs, for the most part. It's people making mistakes, and people joining in with people they've never met before. It's not canned. It's not packaged. It's everything I've ever loved about music."
