- [Narrator] Tonight on Stage, take a front row seat for the inspiration, connection and joy you've been missing.

A night of outdoor music.

Up first, Cloud Cult at the Northern Spark Festival.

♪ Everything you need is here ♪ Followed by Rock the Garden, featuring the music from Low, Bob Mould and more.

♪ Out of range if you should call ♪ (crowd applauding) (bright music) - I think that we are in an amazingly complex and mysterious universe and life.

(bright music) And the need to be able to predict and the need to be able to put everything in a box and define everything, we get into a mindset of where magic and passion and spirituality even is, we can't even reach it anymore.

But it's everywhere around us all the time and everybody's gonna have a richer, fuller life when they're awake to that.

I had a lotta problems at school, got picked on a lot.

But then I was in orchestra and we were playing these pieces and I remember just feeling like the world disappeared, that I felt so alive and I was finally communicating in a way, or getting things out that I never experienced before.

Of course, that didn't help my popularity because I really got into it, so then all the kids were making fun of how (laughs) much I was moving during a song, but you just couldn't stop, you'd just disappear for a while and you would come out the other side and realize whoa, what just happened?

And so I started to write music, and I used it as a tool to get out all the hurt and pain that I had inside like a lot of young musicians do, and it just kinda stuck, as something that I needed to do for personal medicine a lot.

(soft piano music) I think initially the fans that we attracted were people that liked just how weird and eccentric it was, so in my early days as a kid, weirdo got made fun of, suddenly showing all my weirdoness, people liked.

♪ The physicist and the mystics say ♪ ♪ There's no such thing as time ♪ ♪ If God is now and everywhere ♪ ♪ Why's it so hard to find ♪ Since we've been doing this as a band, we recognize how many people were going through those same kinds of struggles and meeting some of our supporters to these young people that are really bright and intelligent and they've got something special and unique inside.

And because of that, they're getting really beat down by their peers, so try and make it really clear to these people, you've got something really special, like hang in there, you're gonna make it.

♪ She said worry about what you're made to do ♪ ♪ Not what you're made of ♪ There's a lot of fans that have become such adamant supporters that we just feel like really have our back and we bring them in as closely as we possibly can because we see them as our tribe.

And we depend on them for inspiration, we depend on them for giving us the fuel to go out there and continue to write songs with a certain sort of intention and as long as they're feeling like we're helping people on some modest level, this ship keeps going forward and all of those fans are a part of the crew.

He never really wanted it to be just watching people play instruments.

He wanted people to have more of a creative artistic experience.

(gentle piano music) (soft violin music) - I think the multi-instrumental dimensions that the band can go to, being able to play something more folky and roots-based with acoustic instruments and then go over and play with synthesizers and electric guitars and what not, just that potential to shift is a fairly unique thing.

- I think it's nice as musicians too, to be able to make that shift and not feel like we're stuck in one genre or one category.

We can go and play as an orchestral quartet, and then we can go and play hard rock and that is what makes it the most enjoyable for us.

♪ You put your whole self in ♪ ♪ You put your whole self out ♪ ♪ You put your whole self in ♪ ♪ And you shake it all about ♪ - We have some rituals, especially right before we go onstage, we have to do the Hokey Pokey.

♪ That's what it's all about ♪ There's two purposes for me, one, it loosens me up and gets the nerves moving through me, and two, it gives me a chance to connect, eye contact with every person in the band and remember that we're going out there as a collective to do this really awesome thing.

- [Interviewer] So no times of group meditation of sitting around with TM?

- That's just not us, the Hokey Pokey is very much a thing that we all think is super cool.

My husband Craig and I bought this little piece of land through our nonprofit Earthology Institute.

- This is a public park for everybody to enjoy.

We have a volunteer day here, so we have a lotta people out from the schools and from town and around the area that are helping us plant 300 trees today.

We plant trees to help offset the greenhouse gases that we create on tour.

We have a mad formula for trying to figure out how many trees we have to plant to absorb that.

We get that total number, we multiply that by four with the assumption that a lot of the trees that we plant are actually not gonna make it.

So today we're doing 300 and over the course of this year we'll probably do around 5,000.

Every single time you put one in the ground, you realize that it's gonna live longer than any of us standing here and my great grandkids could come to this park someday and be walking by and climb up the branches of a tree that they didn't know that their great grandpa planted.

So every single one of these is very precious.

When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time in a tree that was out back in Owatonna, Minnesota.

It was always a place I could go to be just totally safe, and that's where I started to really wake up on the inside.

So I felt like when I graduated from high school, what I wanted to do was be a protector of those woods, although music was calling me very, very strongly.

I didn't know at the time how I could use music to be something positive for the planet.

I got a job working as a tree surgeon, and I was all excited about it, like this was a dream come true, since I was a kid, this is the best possible thing!

Then I went out on my first day and it was all like (laughs) just spraying trees with chemicals.

There'd be this massive overprescription of, oh, that tree has a small ailment, they would diagnose it as such and spray like crazy but not pay attention to the fact that there's drift going on the neighbor dog and at the end of the day I remember they gave me the sprayer thing and there was a squirrel up there and so the crew was like, just spray it, it's not gonna hurt the squirrel.

And I pulled the trigger, and completely against anything in my body and I rode bike home that day and collapsed on the floor in our apartment and just laid there and realized like, I have to learn how to stand up for what's right.

These small little things of needing to fit in, I was just done with that.

And I got out my notebook, and I wrote on the page, steps to make a living doing music.

And the first step was a wedding DJ.

(laughs) - [Interviewer] But it was that night that you said I'm going into- - I had tried so many things in the environmental field and I felt like I need to design something where I would have fit in and that's our own business, and we're gonna sculpt it, and we're gonna build every step in a way that fits what we believe in, and we're gonna make it work for ourselves and not care if anybody is gonna make fun of us anymore.

Even to this day, that's the main backbone of everything, is that that continued inherent need to create.

But the ultimate goal with the music is to keep waking myself up and try and juggle people a little bit around us like hey, this is an amazing place!

Let's just sit and feel the magnitude of the power and mystery of the great unknown right now and all relish the fact that maybe we can't put our finger on it, but we can all feel that energy of it right now, and let's go home with thanks and gratitude, be good people.

(upbeat music) Minnesota Original is made possible by The State Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, and the citizens of Minnesota.

(lively music) - This is a great bill.

It'll be fun as a band.

(lively music) - That a rock and I live it.

- It was an amazing crowd.

We kinda have a little thing with Minneapolis.

(rain pattering) - Let's see what Dan Deacon does here today, he's the wild card.

(lively music) - The rain was still coming down when Dan was scheduled to go onstage.

He actually told us just drag some of my gear down and we'll have the party in the parking lot.

(lively music) - All I see is the audience, I like to think of them as The Show.

You know what I mean?

So you can't have a show without an audience.

Will you please form a large circle in the center of the parking garage, as large as you can possibly make it.

(crowd cheering) If you're in the front of the circle, you mind taking one knee down to the ground so the people behind you can see.

Let's see, my man right here, can we get you to the center of the circle?

(crowd cheering) Let's get you as well, let's get you in the center of the circle as well.

(crowd cheering) So here's the deal, we're gonna have a dance contest.

(crowd cheering) Rule number one, sassy is a word you can't say live on the radio, real sassy, imagine you're Prince, you're having a picnic with the Joker and the Riddler, you caught Sylvester the Cat, you skinned him, you're gonna eat them, real sassy.

Rule number two, when the current dancers are done dancing, you're gonna pick the next contestant to replace you, so on and so on and so on.

Rule number three, no cowards.

If you get picked, you have to do it.

If you don't want to do it, perfectly fine, you just don't wanna be anywhere near the front of the circle.

All right, is everybody ready?

(crowd cheering) All right, cool.

(bright music) All right everybody, everybody!

(bright music) (crowd cheering) Thank you very much.

Thank you all for doing that.

Cool beans.

I put on like a performance, then engage the audience and sort of shifted the context so that they were more looking at themselves rather than looking at me.

We're going to dance through this tunnel and when we get to the other side, we're gonna reform the lines, and the tunnel's going to grow all the way out of the parking garage onto the field.

(crowd cheering) - It was just one of those you had to be there moments, that he created a party, got people involved in the performance and it made a performance piece, which was perfect for being in the Walker's parking lot.

That's the kind of flexibility of the Minnesota audience.

They're gonna just roll with it.

- We're sorta known for being more quiet and minimal and slow a lot of times, but at the end of the day, it's just kinda rock-and-roll.

We've been around for like 20 years and sort of over the years have experimented in one direction or the other from that basic center that we began with, and we're here to play.

♪ One more dance ♪ ♪ Before they take away the light ♪ ♪ One more spin around the line ♪ ♪ One more step ♪ ♪ And then we'll turn and face ♪ ♪ The debt ♪ ♪ One more reason to forget ♪ (lively guitar music) - Oh we played a song called "Do You Know How to Waltz" and we don't play it very often, but today seemed like the right day to do it.

Drone, not drones.

(crowd cheering) It's very different from what everybody else is doing most people are probably coming out of the garage with other thoughts on their mind.

Yeah, the trick is just not think about that and be true to what you're feeling now and not that moment because in the end, the stuff that people appreciate more are the things where we did that.

♪ You can't read it on my face ♪ ♪ Can't tell as I cry ♪ Soon after moving to the Twin Cities, I met Grant Hart and Greg Norton and the three of us started a band called Husker Du and played our first show in March of 79.

But even from the beginning of Husker Du, there wasn't a lot of gain to be had, there wasn't a lot of money to be made, it was just the reward of playing music and getting to travel around the world and eventually it became a full-time job and that's pretty much where it is right now, it's a full-time job.

Then when I was 15 I got exposed to the early punk rock stuff, Television, New York Dolls.

When you take that melodic stuff that I grew up with as a kid, the punk stuff that I grew up with as a teenager and sort of put that together and speed it up really fast, that was my idea at least.

(lively music) (crowd cheering) (lively music) - I'm Christopher.

- And I'm Brian.

- Joe.

- I'm Sarah, Nikki's fill-in.

Peace.

- That's true.

We're Silversun Pickups.

That was a good introduction.

(Nikki laughs) (lively music) When we're out touring, it's so loud, you can't really hear yourself think, or I can't, you don't really hear your inside of your head.

Nothing really creative happens when you're touring.

♪ You can't make the silent strains ♪ I think I have a desperate desire to want to completely belong into some place that's unfamiliar.

There was a month break 'cause I got married.

I was able to travel through Europe, it was a completely alien landscape, nothing completely familiar, and that's when the songwriting happens for us, songs started to show up in these weird little moments.

I was scrambling and trying to figure out how to keep them, 'cause I knew once we came back, they would dissolve.

It started the ball rolling on something that would eventually become our new record.

(crowd cheering) (lively music) ♪ Hangman we played ♪ ♪ Hide and seek on the fire escape ♪ - My family, there was a lot of music around all the time, but no one was a musician.

They used to call my dad the word musician, because he used language the way that his favorite heavyweight jazz guys would play, taking things apart, deconstructing things and ideally saying something more subtle than regular language can communicate.

It was a very open-minded atmosphere and I definitely felt supported to be a musician.

I think it's funny though I didn't go into jazz at all.

I realized in my own work, I've gone in the opposite direction.

Being really fascinated by how you can state something as clearly as possible as opposed to making it as opaque as possible, and getting way behind it.

So my dad really set the stage for me to do what I want to do.

♪ We're all the time confined to fit the mold ♪ ♪ But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul.

♪ - We both had relatively different upbringings.

- Yeah, he went to Juilliard when he was like a baby.

- I was a classical trumpet player when I was a kid, then by the time I was finishing Juilliard and realizing that classical music was not where my heart was gonna lie at all, there was very little freedom in that musical forum.

I needed to be able to express myself in a much more unique and momentary way.

So I started writing songs, and we've never really stopped.
