Minneapolis acoustic indie rocker Dan Hylton “…balances quirky humor, clever slice-of-life observations, and raw emotion” (The Current 89.3) and writes “…fresh, smart, yet deeply personal and emotional words capturing life’s significant moments and its lessons taught”(Rift Magazine). With his quirky, multi-instrumentalist band, The Ghostrunners, he brings a sound something like “an off-beat Glen Hansard meets an up-beat Morrissey” to Twin Cities stages.

From the rugged tundra of the Iron Range to the unforgiving steel of the Twin Cities, a young man arrives carrying a guitar. No, not Bob Dylan, but…oh, heck with it. Jordan Purkat is singer/songwriter frontman for the local punk pop trio Forever Sometimes. Join him as he sets off on his own (reluctant) solo acoustic journey.
