Lamb Weston/RDO will sponsor a fun night Thursday, June 20 with free french fries and Collapsing Stars, a Twin Cities-based band. Named a top 100 SXSW artist by National Public Radio Music, Collapsing Stars bring a blend of blues, roots, folk and Americana sounds with a hint of modernity. In the last few years they've earned producer credits on a record for Rhymesayers Entertainment, played a showcase at the renowned Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and in 2016 performed for over 120,000 people at Red Bull Crashed Ice. Their debut record titled '2012' has received some noteworthy accolades including praise from Dan Wilson, the Semisonic frontman who has co-written songs for the Dixie Chicks, John Legend, Weezer and Adele's 2011 hit Someone Like You. In 2018 they were selected as an official SXSW artist out of a pool of over 8,000 applicants. NPR Music named them a top 100 SX artist out of 2,000 showcasing acts.
Arrive at 5 for the social hour, sponsored by Lee Davis Electric.
