PIETA BROWN PLAYS NISSWA

Folk singer Pieta Brown opens the 2008 Grassroots Concert series this Friday. Brown said she was raised in a bare-bones Bohemian setting in Iowa where there was no electricity or running water at home. But she had music. Brown's father is two-time Grammy nominee and folk singer Greg Brown. Pieta Brown's concert begins at 7:30pm Friday night at the Nisswa Community Center. Doors open at 6:30pm. Tickets at the door, $15 for adults, $10 for children under 12.
