We had three soulful chats as we celebrated the life, times, and music of the late great Spider John Koerner. The guests included folk and blues musician Charlie Parr, longtime Twin Cities folk singer Charlie Maguire, and record store owner, producer and longtime Koerner friend Mark Trehus.
We continue our Tribute to Spider John Koerner with three great guests: Tom Nelson (Tom’s Burn’t Down Cafe- Madeline Island, WI), Jack Pasternacki (Cats Under the Stars) and ace guitarist Dakota Dave Hull.
Koerner, Ray & Glover were folk rock pioneers who appeared at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival and achieved iconic status despite a handful of recordings and little Professional management. In February of 2022, Paul Metsa caught up with his old friend Spider John Koerner at Palmer's Bar in the neighborhood where it all began.
Part Two of our Metsamerica Special recently shot at Palmer's Bar (in the neighborhood where it all began) Paul Metsa sits down with the one and only Spider John Koerner. Taking a break from KRG, John looks up Willie Murphy and heads for Hollywood!
Part 3 wraps up a great interview with Paul Metsa and the one and only Spider John Koerner. From building a career, a boat, his own telescope and finally getting the recognition KRG deserved for so long, the 83-year-old's stories ONLY get better!
