Songwriters in the Round #58 at Hallberg Center for the Arts

The Hallberg Center for the Arts Proudly Presents: The 58th installment of Songwriters in the Round on the Freemore Music Stage! Admission is Free. Seating is limited, so please arrive early. Featuring the music of Ted Hajnasiewicz, Molly Maher and Dan Israel! Driven to write the perfect song, Minneapolis-born singer/songwriter Ted Hajnasiewicz (Hi-Nah-SHEV-Its) performs with a magnetizing honesty and reflective tone that speaks to the very essence of the human spirit. Ted is a prolific writer that enjoys co-writing in various styles. He recently was awarded the "Maverick" award for 2022, after receiving best video of the year for 2021 by the Midwest Country Music Organization. Molly Maher resides on the border between the lands of Americana and the Blues and moves beautifully between them, blending simmer and cool with kick-ass guitar playing. Molly has traveled the roads of the American music tradition and returned to sing about it with an authentic and sage voice. To see her perform live is an unforgettable experience. An incomparable singer and songwriter with compelling depth and soul and cutting lyrics draws from the deep roots of Americana music. Writing songs that ring true her singing is a fine balance of deep and soulful, somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Bonnie Raitt. Twangy and lament-filled spirit, guitar driven country-folk-jam with a blues swagger. Dan Israel is a longtime fixture on the Minneapolis music scene. He was the first guest on 89.3 The Current’s “Local Show” and has been called “the hardest working singer-songwriter in Minnesota.” He won Song of the Year (for “Come to Me”) in the 2005 Minnesota Music Awards and Songwriter of the Year in the 2006 MMA’s. He received a 4-star review from the UK’s “Uncut” magazine for his 2007 album “Turning.” He has released 17 critically acclaimed albums, including his latest, 2022's “Seriously," which many critics and fans have praised as his finest record yet. This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council with funds appropriated by the MN State Legislature from its general fund.
