Tonight: Winterset

Winterset is a Minneapolis-based group of the Americana/rock influence. Members include Steven LaFollette (vocals/songwriting/acoustic guitar), Dan Stewart (bass/vocals), Aaron Speer (drums), Cassie LaFollette (mandolin/keys/vocals), and Andrew Carey (electric guitar).
 
Formed in 2008, frontman Steven LaFollette began playing shows in Saint Paul, Minnesota with various characters.
 
“Over time, the members of the band have changed, but each individual has provided a unique perspective and creative aspect to the music that makes it in a way nostalgic to me.” – Steven
 
Winterset began as an outlet for songs that in truth had never been intended for people to hear. Steven has always enjoyed writing, but it was not until he decided to pursue audio production that he began writing songs with the intention to record. Their original purpose was as “practice tunes,” material to record only while studying production. “I felt it would be best to write and record my own music so that if it turned out I was completely garbage at this, I would only be ruining my own recordings and not a clients,” said Steven.
