Duluth's music scene rises from the steep hills above Lake Superior, where the NorShor Theatre anchors downtown with indie and folk acts that echo the city's port town loneliness. The annual Homegrown Music Festival fills venues like Sacred Heart Music Center and Wussow's Concert Cafe with the town's own bands, from Low's haunting arrangements to Charlie Parr's fingerpicked blues. The big lake's cold wind seems to push musicians toward Americana, country, and jazz.
