Jorgensen Tagg Duo, building on the full band, is captured by the Bungalow for many prized Tuesday shows

They call it, and are the definition of, Americana Soul, whether as a full band or a two-person performance. The Kurt Jorgensen Band, formed in 1998, is recognized by peers and critics as one of the Twin Cities’ best original bands, and they take their act as the Jorgensen Tagg Duo to the Bungalow Inn in Lakeland virtually every Tuesday throughout the rest of the year. Incorporating blues, soul, jazz and rock into a unique style the full band calls Americana Soul, the Minnesota Music Awards has twice awarded the band Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Vocalist, Best Female Vocalist and Album of the Year. Jorgensen and the full band are currently working on the their ninth album.

The Kurt Jorgensen Band, with members who have there own specialties, has played countless shows and outdoor festivals both near and far, and often opens for national acts which have included Joe Cocker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Guess Who, America, The Little River Band, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Double Trouble and more. They take much of that flavor and incorporate it into the duo performances, as at the Bungalow.
An online sampler includes an even dozen original tunes you can check out. At the Bungalow itself, the Tuesdays the Jorgensen Tagg Duo will play are Nov. 8, 15, 22 and 29, and Dec. 13, 20 and 27, all from 6-8 p.m., as the Bungalow has booked one of the top acts in the area for a steady stream of music.

Social media commentators at all levels and news media alike are — just in time for Earth Day — mining the latest Boundary Waters area news with headlines about the latest rollback of Obama and Biden era environmental protections to pristine water quality for what can, legally, be done with potentially destructive commerce in that region, passing the Minnesota legislature by the narrowest of margins. The reactions have ranged from who cares, to asking if our legislators do care, about the plan to mine metals, backed by a Chilean corporate giant, whose name sounds like a death metal band, and...
So, the Winter Olympics is history, as is the Super Bowl in suspense, and March Madness mania is now mundane, so have you gotten enough of … curling as a sport? Don’t just go ho hum. Like my friend Tom sorta was/is. More on that midway. The summer Olympics aren’t coming around for a bit, to fill your taste for sports. But baseball is underway, so there is more than one four-person, four-bagger with four hot dog-one beer, sobriety limits, even for the Brew Crew. (See below). — That aside, the long winter is over, the whole Boundary Waters Area returns to...
Trump vs. Pope Leo? I’ll take God. And even most atheists would agree with the first part. The battle against Trump becomes more universal. Trump as Jesus? This is an even easier call. I’ll take The Christ not The Donald. But wait, Trump said, or at least pictured, I am He? While facing foes he did not fight with while in The Garden, not Madison Square, and not while entertaining lavishly at a gala at Mar-A-Lago. Trump could take a lesson. Or he could read The Good Book more. (But he does seem to know what a Sacred Heart is, or at least how to...
Water, water everywhere, and no fluoride to drink … water, water nowhere, better flood the sink. But hold your horses if not your hose and hold on a minute, they voted it down. At least here in New Richmond last Tuesday. So in the week since, we feel the fallout of Trump and his ilk such as RFK Jr. now falling down in failure. There still is lifegiving, if not lifesaving, fluoride to be found in the fluid that spouts from the municipal water system. The mandate-worthy referendum result was to keep teeth-building fluoride in the city supply, by a...
I don’t know what this is, exactly, but I know I want a part of it. There is a Naked Root plant sale at Farrill’s Sunrise Nursery and Garden Center that’s located east of, as in rural, Hudson, away from semi-urban congestion, on two days on each of the next two weekends, including this one according to their sign, rounding out April with extended sale days. That could, it seems to me, correspond with the release — as a knockoff — of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Think just a bit of Knock Weed, or knotweed, barely covering a beauty from...
As Easter began to close down, like a defender in March Madness for Michigan kicking U-Conn, the signs still could be seen heading out on the highway, like Jesus in and around Emmaus of old. The man-of-right-age as a driver wore a T-shirt on Monday, the next day, that I think was for a metal band, and could have been either a stick figure with slim limbs and thick torso ready for a spear to come and sitting in a chair, or Christ on the cross bent over a bit sideways, like he’d been forced to haul that awful tree too...
