Once upon a time in the 1990′s, Korda’s own Brian Tighe (The Starfolk) formed the melody rich, sixties-inspired pop group The Hang Ups with two fellow classmates from Minneapolis College of Art and Design: Jeff Kearns and Stephen Ittner.
The Hang Ups went on to release five splendid records, and over their career the line up grew and evolved. This month an old friend returning to town has inspired the original trio to return to stage for the first time in two decades!
Korda’s own Jim Ruiz will also be appearing, as well as Mountain Singers, Stephanie Says, and guest of honor Reba Fritz. Don’t miss it!

TIME // 7 pm

LOCATION // LIVE LETTERS loft. (address is emailed to you after ticket purchase)
Wait, I don’t get it. How does this work?
LIVE LETTERS hosts small concerts in a private loft in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis. Because it’s a private residence we only provide the address to ticket buyers. We know it’s a little strange to buy a ticket to a stranger’s living room, but we promise that we’re not that strange and that the unique live music experience is beyond worth it. If you have any questions at all or want more information please feel free to email Sara at hello@liveletters.net.
