About the Talent:
Dennis Warner & The D’s
Dennis Warner’s musical journey has brought him to all 50 states and beyond, earning him global recognition and a reputation for being an elite entertainer in the singer-songwriter genre.
With his tour schedule on hold due to the pandemic, Dennis released his 11th album, Pilot Me. Arguably his best work, Pilot Me debuted on the FOLK DJ radio charts at #8 for the month of August, 2020. Remarkably, all thirteen songs received airplay, landing Dennis a coveted spot in the top 10 for Artist of the Month.
Warner’s ninth CD, Seeds, also generated a lot of attention in the folk music community, being named one of the best CDs of 2012 based on radio play around the world. FOLK DJ named him one of the top artists in all of folk music for 2012. Legendary Midnight Special radio host Rich Warren tipped his hat to Dennis by designating Seeds as his “CD Pick of the Week” on his nationally syndicated show.
Dennis is a two-time McKnight Foundation Artist Award winner and three-time finalist for the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival songwriting awards, co-founded by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. Another accolade came with the invitation to perform in concert at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. for a series honoring the best of the unknown songwriters.
Dennis Warner Website | Dennis Warner Facebook Page
Read More2018 was a big year for Dennis. Early that year, he was invited to the RoundGlass Music Awards in New York City celebrating “Enlightened musicians from around the globe who create music to make the world a better place.” Later that year, Dennis was honored to perform for the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Toronto, where 7,500 attendees representing 230 different faiths from around the planet gathered finding ways to coexist in our diverse world.
Now in its Eighth Printing, Warner‘s timely book Beads on One String evolved from one of his songs and led to the creation of the Beads on One String Project, an elementary school curriculum used as a meaningful and fun way to teach kids about the negative effects of bullying and the positive effects of recognizing our “connectedness” with each other. In support of his book and the curriculum project, Dennis is often a guest musician and speaker at schools, libraries and Sunday morning gatherings. In 2015, Dennis and his wife Tammy donated 250 copies of Beads on One String to Books for Africa, where they were needed in Ghana to teach English to kids by using Dennis’ song and book.
Early in 2020, Dennis was featured on the popular PBS TV show Backroads. Produced by Lakeland Public Broadcasting, the sold out concert celebrated his original music and was syndicated throughout the PBS network.
Along with his original music, Warner is widely admired for his moving interpretations of songs written by others. Audience favorites include Don’t Laugh at Me, The Garden Song (Inch by Inch) and Homegrown Tomatoes. Many also know Dennis for his viral YouTube video I’m My Own Grandpa with over 859,000 hits.
Most importantly perhaps, Warner is an outstanding entertainer. Ballads are cleverly blended with up-tempo songs, audience participation and engaging humorous stories. A warm stage presence and ability to connect with his audience is the trademark of a Dennis Warner concert.
Throughout his career, Dennis has collaborated with many noted musicians, including rock and roll legend Bobby Vee, J.D. Steele, Freebo, James Lee Stanley, Prudence Johnson, Peter Ostroushko, Paul Diethelm and George Maurer.
Though he calls Minnesota home, Warner loves to travel and tour, either solo or with his band “the D’s”. On and off the stage, Dennis is personable and good-humored. When not working on his music, he can be found sailing, eating ice cream or perhaps listening to a Minnesota Twins baseball game. On a good day, he’s doing all three.Meet The D’s
DAN NEALE – guitar, mandolin and vocals: One of the most sought after musicians in the Midwest, Dan Neale is well respected both on stage and in the studio. Among his many accolades, he was also the regular fill-in guitarist for Pat Donohue on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion”.
DENNIS (DK) KENNEDY – congas, djembe, cajon, marimba, harmonica, shaker, tambourine etc…: DK joined us in 1999 when I started recording the My World album. I needed someone to play harmonica on a couple of waltzes and my producer, Jeff Vee, said he had a brother-in-law who played really well.
ALEX D. MAIERS – bass and vocals: Alex joined our ensemble recently and we couldn’t be more pleased. He’s a well known guitar player in Minnesota with an outstanding stage presence.
DERRICK RAITER – cajon, djembe and congas: Formerly our full time percussionist until he moved overseas, we welcome Derrick back whenever possible. His unique style has been very important in developing the DW sound that’s defined our albums and concerts. When that djembe kicks in, everyone notices!
PAT CURTO- vocals: Occassionaly, we are blessed with Pat Curto joining us on backing vocals. Pat’s incredible career nationwide as a drummer and vocalist led to his induction into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. We are most happy to make him an “honorary D” when he is available!

Wings Over America is primarily composed of members of the Collective Unconscious, a St Cloud band who brought you the Beatles “Abbey Road”, the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds”, Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, CSNY’s “Deja Vu” and The Band’s “The Last Waltz”. You may have also seen them teamed up with the Fabulous Armadillos performing “Takin It To The Limit: A Tribute to the Music of the Eagles” and “A Doobie Brothers Tribute”. Every single one of these musicians is a professional in their own right, with an impressive array of music making with a “who’s who” in Minnesota Music. These nine musicians from the St Cloud Area have been making music together for 20 years in one form or another.
Wings Over America: A Tribute to Paul McCartney and Wings is based primarily on Wings 1976 live album “Wings Over America” with a few subtractions and additions. The album reached number one on the Billboard Charts in 1977 and was the fifth Wings album in a row to achieve that status. After the Beatles and a few solo Paul McCartney records, Wings (often referred to as “Paul McCartney and Wings” was formed in 1971 with his wife Linda, and Moody Blues’ guitarist Denny Laine. Several Beatles tunes (I’ve Just Seen a Face, Blackbird, Yesterday, The Long and Winding Road) are included in the set, along with some Moody Blues (Go Now) and McCartney solo tunes (Bluebird, Uncle Albert). The show becomes a great retrospective of McCartney’s career, and is a celebration of one of the most celebrated careers in the history of pop and rock music.
Wings Over America is: Jeff Engholm (bass and vocals), Muggsy Lauer (guitar and vocals), Amy Grinsteiner (keys), Mark Hasbrouck (guitar), Scott Chabot (drums), Mike Anderson (saxes), Ken Vork (trombone), Erin Vork (trumpet and horn), and Dwight Nelson (trumpet).

About the Talent:
Collective Unconscious
Formed in the spring of the year 2000 to support lead singer/bass player Jeff Engholm’s first solo CD (Summit Climb), CU performed around central Minnesota as a jam band. A couple of years of Wednesday nights at the Red Carpet Nightclub in St. Cloud, MN firmly established the band’s repertoire, and musicianship, and kept audiences dancing.
During that time they recorded and released a couple of albums of their original material: Collective Unconscious, and The Garden.
A few years later they began performing the Beatles Abbey Road album in its entirety, from Come Together all the way through Her Majesty (years before tribute bands were a thing). From there they expanded on to Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water album (with strings and brass), CSNY’s Deja Vu album, The Band’s The Last Waltz (with a cavalcade of guest performers), and the epically grand album from The Beach Boys Pet Sounds (with a multitude of multi-instrumentalists playing over 30 different instruments).
Eventually, CU joined up with powerhouse The Fabulous Armadillos to perform a show called Takin’ It To The Limit: An Eagles Tribute, which has been entertaining sold-out houses across the midwest ever since.

About the Talent:
John Berry
Singer-songwriter John Berry rose to stardom on the country charts of the 1990s with such mega hits as Your Love Amazes Me, Standing on the Edge of Goodbye and She’s Taken a Shine. His annual Christmas tours brighten the holidays for thousands, as does his electrifying rendition of O’ Holy Night.
During his star-making decade, John placed 20 singles on the county charts, 6 of which went Top 5, with Your Love Amazes Me, scoring a #1 on the Billboard and Radio & Records Country Chart as well as Standing on the Edge of Goodbye and She’s Taken a Shine earning the #1 slot in Radio & Records . He has earned multiple Gold and Platinum records over the years. John was nominated for the ACM Top New Male Vocalist in 1994, won a Grammy Award in 1996 for his participation in Amazing Grace: A Country Salute to Gospel Vol. 1, was nominated for another Grammy in 1995 for his smash hit Your Love Amazes Me and was nominated for the CMA Horizon Award and Top Male Vocalist Award in 1995. In 1997 he was nominated for Vocal Event of the Year (for Long Haired Country Boy with Charlie Daniels and Hal Ketchum) and in 2013 John was nominated for the Mainstream Country Male Artist by the ICM Awards. And thanks to the miracles of modern technology, he even sang a duet with the late, great Patsy Cline.
“I love what I do, with a passion not seen in quite some time. I’m hopeful and excited about the future. I love singing and always will. I have a bus, an incredible stage presentation, a great band, hands-on management team and I’m always all dressed up and ready to go.”
He and his family moved back to Music City after several years in Georgia, and in 2019 John is pursuing a touring and personal appearance schedule that is more active than ever. Given his wide range of music and number of releases, John is fortunate in that he can book a solo show with just himself and guitar, a small-band acoustic show or a full-band engagement and has more than enough hit material to captivate a crowd and deliver an evening full of musical memories.
Between 1979 and 1990 he recorded and marketed six albums on his own labels. The Graduation Song, which he wrote during his senior year in high school, became a perennial favorite at graduation ceremonies. It appeared on two of his early collections.
Those early discs and John’s strong regional popularity attracted attention on Music Row. Capitol Records signed him to his first major label contract in 1992. Berry’s co-written hits A Mind of Her Own and Kiss Me in the Car introduced him to radio audiences in 1993. Then Your Love Amazes Me, What’s in it for Me and You and Only You thrust him to stardom in 1994. Standing on the Edge of Goodbye, I Think About it all the Time, and If I Had Any Pride Left at All were all major hits the following year, with Standing on the Edge of Goodbye earning John the coveted 1995 Grammy nomination.
But it was his stunning performance of the title track of the 1995 CD O’ Holy Night that led to his most enduring legacy to date. John began doing special Christmas tours that year and 2016 marks his 20th anniversary holiday concert tour. He has big plans to celebrate and involve the fans like never before for this anniversary celebration. He has also issued three more Christmas-music collections. If O’ Holy Night is all that anyone remembers of me, that’s fine with me,” he comments about his perennial Christmas popularity. “It is a truly inspired piece of music.”
2021 saw John emerge with a host of new projects in development and with his sights firmly set on his 25th Anniversary of his legendary Christmas Tour, with a grand presentation planned that will leave audiences amazed and full of joy & hope for the future. John also celebrated the 25th Anniversary of his highly acclaimed album, Faces in 2021.
2022 will begin with John releasing his new faith based album, “Find My Joy” on March 25th on Gaither Music and his touring will include dates in churches in support of this new project along with his normal solo and band dates and ending the year with his 26th annual Christmas tour.

This Lit for Life production brings author Kao Kalia’s powerful novel The Latehomecomer to life as a play sharing a Hmong/ Minnesota immigration story with musical talent, and history of the war in Vietnam. Winner of a PEN USA Literary Award for Nonfiction and Minnesota’s Book Award.
About the Story
In search of a place to call home, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand, finally emigrating to America; but lacking a written language of their own. Driven to tell her family’s story after her grandmother’s death – the Hmong experience has been primarily recorded by others – The Latehomecomer is Kao Kalia Yang’s tribute to her remarkable grandmother whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand account of a people who have worked hard to make their voices heard.
The Latehomecomer takes its name from a short story by Canadian writer Mavis Gallant and references Jews who returned home from internment hoping to find homes that no longer exist. Winner of a PEN USA Literary Award for Nonfiction and Minnesota’s Book Award and Readers Choice Award, it is the first memoir written by a Hmong-American to be published with national distribution. A Hmong written language was not taught or used until the 1950s, so author Kao Kalia Yang plays a large role in bringing the culture into the realm of literature. Asked how long it took to write the book, Yang answered four years, but “centuries and centuries to do the living” (Mn Artists).
Told with the immediacy of the author as a young girl, born in the Ban Vinai Refugee camp in Thailand, Kao Kalia arrives in the United States when she is six. The story follows her journey from a quiet, reticent student struggling to speak English while facing racial discrimination, to a self-empowered young woman claiming her voice to tell the untold story of her people.

About the Talent:
Van Morrison
Born in 1945 Van heard his Shipyard worker father’s collection of blues, country and gospel early in life. Feeding off musical greats such as Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Muddy Waters, Mahalia Jackson and Leadbelly he was a travelling musician at 13 and singing, playing guitar and sax, in several bands, before forming Them in 1964.
Making their name at Belfast’s Maritime Club, Them soon established Van as a major force in the British R&B scene. Morrison’s matchless vocal and songwriting talents produced instant classics such as the much covered ‘Gloria’ and ‘Here Comes The Night’. Those talents found full astonishing range in Van’s solo career. After working with Them’s New York producer Bert Berns on beautiful Top 40 pop hit ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ (1967), Morrison moved to another realm.
Reflecting on new life in America on the joyous Sinatra soul of Moondance (1970) and the country inflected Tupelo Honey (1971) he summoned old spiritual and ancestral life in the epic St Dominic’s Preview (1972) closer track Listen To The Lion. Double live album Too Late To Stop Now (1973) highlighted Morrison’s superlative performing and bandleader skills. Mapping out a richly varied musical course throughout the 70s he shone among an all-star cast including Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters on The Band’s Last Waltz.
Settling back into life in the UK in 1980 he released Common One an album centring on Summertime In England an extraordinary invocation of literary, sensual and spiritual pleasure the song would often become a thrilling improvised centrepiece to his live shows. Steering his own course throughout the 80s on albums such as No Guru, No Method, No Teacher he claimed Celtic roots with The Chieftains on Irish Heartbeat. Teaming with Georgie Fame brought new impetus to his live show while Avalon Sunset saw him back in the album and single charts by the decades end. Van Morrison continued to advance on his status as a game- changing artist through the 90s and into the 21st century.
Awards and accolades – a knighthood, a Brit, an OBE, an Ivor Novello, 6 Grammys, honourary doctorates from Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Ulster, entry into The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and the French Ordres Des Artes Et Des Lettres – attested to the international reach of Van’s musical art.

Collective Unconscious
Formed in the spring of the year 2000 to support lead singer/bass player Jeff Engholm’s first solo CD (Summit Climb), CU performed around central Minnesota as a jam band. A couple of years of Wednesday nights at the Red Carpet Nightclub in St. Cloud, MN firmly established the band’s repertoire, and musicianship, and kept audiences dancing.
During that time they recorded and released a couple of albums of their original material: Collective Unconscious, and The Garden.
A few years later they began performing the Beatles Abbey Road album in its entirety, from Come Together all the way through Her Majesty (years before tribute bands were a thing). From there they expanded on to Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water album (with strings and brass), CSNY’s Deja Vu album, The Band’s The Last Waltz (with a cavalcade of guest performers), and the epically grand album from The Beach Boys Pet Sounds (with a multitude of multi-instrumentalists playing over 30 different instruments).
Eventually, CU joined up with powerhouse The Fabulous Armadillos to perform a show called Takin’ It To The Limit: An Eagles Tribute, which has been entertaining sold-out houses across the midwest ever since.

The Fabulous Armadillos
Originally formed to perform multi-instrumentalist Jeff Engholm’s solo album, Summit Climb in the year 2000, Collective Unconscious has grown from those humble roots to become one of Minnesota’s premiere groups. Singer/songwriters Nathan “Nature” Nesje, and Muggsy Lauer make up the core of the group with their slick, well blended vocal harmonies. They are joined by composer/keyboardist George Maurer.
Through the years, the band has performed not only their own music, but expanded into a new genre: album shows. Starting in 2005 with performing The Beatles “Abbey Road” from first track to last (Come Together to Her Majesty), with special guest and semi-band member, Stacy Bauer, they jumped into one of their most ambitious projects, The Beach Boys “Pet Sounds”. That album took an ensemble of over 15 musicians playing an astounding array of instruments from Theramin to timpani, and included The Vees and The Half Steps. Other album projects have included Simon & Garfunkel “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young “Deja Vu”, and The Band “The Last Waltz”.
If that wasn’t enough, the group teamed up with The Fabulous Armadillos in 2010 to create a veritable “super group” and have been performing “Takin’ It To The Limit: A Tribute To Eagles”, and “Takin’ It To The Streets: A Tribute To The Doobie Brothers” ever since. And if even that wasn’t enough, members of Collective Unconscious have taken part in groups paying tribute to Zed Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney and Wings, The Guess Who, The Traveling Wilburys, George Harrison, The Blues Brothers, and John Lennon, as well as performing in plays, pit bands, jazz ensembles, jug bands, and this thing we do each February.

Da Vinci: The Exhibition at The Becker County Museum
2023-09-17 - 2024-01-07 | Becker County Museum, 714 Summit Avenue, Detroit Lakes, 56501, United States
Da Vinci The Exhibition at The Becker County Museum
September 17, 2023 – January 7, 2024
Special Event Discount Available
Purchase Event Tickets Online Separately
The Becker County Museum presents Da Vinci: The Exhibition from September 17, 2023- January 7, 2024. The experience follows the Renaissance master, Leonardo da Vinci, on a journey of innovation, creativity, science and wonder. Developed by Aurea Exhibitions and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., Da Vinci: The Exhibition is a hands-on examination of da Vinci’s life, research and art. Featuring more than 60 fully built, life-size inventions, more than 20 fine art studies and dozens of stunning displays, guests will learn the complex beginnings and lifetime achievements of da Vinci through his discoveries in art, engineering, flight, hydraulics, music, light and more.
Bringing the Da Vinci exhibit to Detroit Lakes is the result of a combination of hard work by Museum staff and some luck resulting from a prior showing in Bozeman being cancelled. This opened an opportunity for the Becker County Museum to fill that spot at a greatly discounted rate (still pricey and with a lot of sponsor support). Normally, you’d have to travel to cities like Chicago to see exhibits of such a scope as they are too expensive to arrange in towns the size of Detroit Lakes. We are also happy to point out that we have been able to accommodate the entire exhibit in our new facility that is shared by the Historic Holmes Theatre.
EXHIBIT HOURS: Tuesday-Sunday (Closed Monday) to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a limited engagement through January 7, 2024. Tickets will be available to purchase online and at the Becker County Museum.
TICKETS: $25 for adults and $10 for children with annual members of the Becker County Museum receiving discounted admissions.
LOCATION: The Becker County Museum now shares the entrance and lobby area with the Historic Holmes Museum. You will easily know where to go once you enter the building with our new marquee.
Throughout the exhibition’s themed galleries, visitors will discover the breadth and scope of da Vinci’s incredibly advanced understanding of science, mathematics, nature, and the relationship between the three. The artist’s intricate designs and extraordinary early concepts are spotlighted, including his design for the helicopter, tank, SCUBA, crane, clock, submarine and his plan for a modern city. Additionally, various multimedia experiences and documentary presentations throughout the space will provide a multitude of supplementary information on da Vinci’s discoveries and creative process.
Each invention featured within Da Vinci The Exhibition was handcrafted utilizing a modern translation of da Vinci’s unique mirrored writing style in an ancient Florentine dialect. Trained artisans used these translations to construct full-scale models and bring the master’s two-dimensional plans to life.
Click image to enlarge.
In addition to da Vinci’s role as an inventor, the exhibition investigates a collection of da Vinci’s most renowned paintings, including some controversial works traditionally attributed to him, but not yet authenticated. Guests will have the opportunity to thoroughly study the artistic mastery behind such works as “Mona Lisa,” “The Last Supper,” “Portrait of a Young Man,” “Virgin of the Rocks,” “St. John the Baptist” and more.
Throughout his lifelong devotion to the sciences and fascination with nature, da Vinci also extensively explored the world of anatomy. Da Vinci The Exhibition’s in-depth and enlightening explanations of his famous studies on subjects such as the golden ratio and “Vitruvian Man” are complemented by enlarged examples of the artist’s sketches and notes made during his controversial research on the human body.
CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, Tom Zaller shared, “Da Vinci was an absolutely incredible man-his art, inventions, and research paved the way for life as we know it today. It is Imagine Exhibitions’ pleasure to present this immersive and interactive exhibition at INSERT VENUE as a way for visitors to explore the immeasurable ways that one man has influenced our current understanding of anatomy, math, nature, art, and machines.”

About Becker County Museum:
In 1882, the citizens of Becker County recognized the need for preservation of the history of their community. The result was the Pioneer Settlers Union. This group, comprised of many of our founding residents, actively worked to preserve the history of their community as it was happening. In 1924, this organization was renamed the Becker County Historical Society which started the Becker County Museum in 1943. All the while the mission stayed the same: “To preserve and communicate the history of Becker County and its people to all generations.”
The Becker County Museum is located in Detroit Lakes, MN and offers 10,500 square feet of exhibit space. Permanent exhibits include prehistoric (fossil) and Native American history, natural history, a pioneer cabin, logging display, lake cabin, turn of the century pharmacy, military displays, a textile display, buggy, sleigh, horse drawn hearse, and the “World’s Smallest Gas Station”. Rotating exhibits are housed in the Marly Rislund Exhibit Gallery.
Our research library offers access to vital records, family histories, township histories, county histories, and files on regional businesses and homes. We also have a collection of more than 14,000 photographs that are available for reproduction. Additionally, we offer research assistance at $6.50 per hour plus postage for those of you who live outside of the Becker County area.

The show starts with their 22nd reunion and throughout the show, as the years go by, the audience watches them go through life and acclimate to getting older. Their camaraderie is inspiring.
In the story, Sheree Hollinger, the devoted, spunky team captain who organizes the reunions, helps take care of their former coach. Team member Lexi Richards, who does everything to keep from aging, but realizes at a certain point to just age gracefully. Another team member, Dinah Grayson, is a witty, sassy lawyer. Vernadette Simms hasn’t had the easiest life, but roars of laughter abound with her many quips. And rounding out the characters in the performance is Jeri Neal McFeeley, a former nun who has made some rather surprising decisions. Many hot button topics are brought up with this crew and the clever writing, along with the effortless chemistry of the cast, make it an enjoyable and relatable show.
There are three chances to watch this comedic drama come to life – October 5 & 6 at 7 PM and October 7 at 2 PM.
