 | Throughout his career as a nationally respected Irish musician Brian
Miller has often endured a bit of ribbing. How did a guy from northern
Minnesota with no Irish ancestry fall in love with all those jigs,
reels and Come All Ye's? In his search to relate his beloved music to
his Midwestern roots Miller looked back to Minnesota's early European
immigrants and found that Irish songs once lived on among the workers
in the very industry that founded his hometown of Bemidji. Many Irish
immigrants found work in American lumber camps in the late 1800s where
they sang songs both remembered from the old country and also composed
about their hard lives working in the north woods. Miller has been
unearthing a unique selection of these ballads that were collected in
Minnesota in the early 20th century from aging lumbermen who had
worked in the old camps where trees were cut by hand, logs were driven
down rivers and bunkhouses were alive with song.

 | Valley Dance & Arts Academy is a performance based dance studio where everyone is welcome and families are encouraged to learn and grow together. Tim and Tibbe Luell began their studio in 2004 with the idea that they could foster a pre-collegiate, performance based studio with a comfortable hometown atmosphere near the Twin Cities. They work everyday to keep the environment pleasant and positive for all who enter.
We encourage our youngest dancers to experiment with movement and still be a kid! We develop the strength of our tweens and teens to better their dancing or give them an edge in sports. We help our adults understand their bodies and make movement comfortable. Our performers learn to dance for their audience and not just themselves.
