Snoozed and Loosed on the show?
Instead of saying "I told you so." I'm going to throw you a bone and let you know you can catch Fiddlin' AJ at on one of these other fine establishments.

🧡I don't have the right words to say thank you for all of your support. After years of grinding, we are finally announcing our first 'official' music schedule, and we are thrilled by the amount of talent coming to our community.

🤘🏼I feel like it's time for the real work to begin. It's scary to be in the beginning stages of opening a live music venue while we watch some of our favorite venues and places of inspiration struggle to survive or worse yet, close their doors.
So I humbly ask for your continued support.

👉🏼Things you can do to help that cost $0:
- Check out our lineup at https://happyproductions.live/tickets
- Tell your friends and neighbors about our Listening Room AND our radio station.
- "Like", "Follow", & "Share" posts about upcoming events of interest on your own sites.
-Make a commitment to come to a show sooner rather than later. I'm blown away by the number of folks who say, "I've been meaning to see a show, but haven't yet".

💲 Ask about live music and radio sponsorship opportunities for your business.

Come hang with us at The Listening Room! A cozy, intimate spot where the lights are low, the sound is top-notch, and people actually sit down and listen to the music. It’s all about the artist, the songs, and the shared experience.

Hey Truckerfest friends! Here's a sneak peek at the Truckerfest Music Festival 2025 bar menu.

We are SO GRATEFUL for our bar sponsors who help make this possible.

🍸 Isanti Spirits Distillery has been a supporter of Happy Productions Studios and Truckerfest since 2019!
🍹 Tattersall Distilling has been on site at every Truckerfest since 2021!
🍻 Lupulin Brewing Company keeps our Listening Room bar and our Truckerfest bar stocked since 2022!
And, new this year, the award-winning wines from our neighbor down the road, Red Pine Winery!

We choose to be exclusive with these companies because they make fantastic products, they are local, and they support us and other small businesses year-round.

We also keep our bar prices as low as possible. There are no carry-ins allowed, but there's also no price gouging here. We know we have you "trapped" for 3 days in a row, and we want you to enjoy yourself without going broke. We'll have free water stations set up throughout. No water bottle? We got ya for only a buck (I paid $8 for the same size bottle at the State Fair 😖)

✅ Truckerfest bar available
✅ Fantastic food trucks and a coffee cart
✅ Porta pottys and indoor bathrooms
✅ Bring a lawn chair or use the bleacher seating

See you in a few days!

✌️💃🤠

🎶 Special Listening Room Show 🎶

Tickets just went on sale and are already flying off the shelves!

Thanks to a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, fiddler AJ Srubas (Steam Machine, Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee) is headed into the studio to record his first solo album. While he’s got some of the country’s finest bluegrass pickers here in Minnesota, they’re doing a limited run of shows together, and this is one of them.

Featuring:
• Reed Stutz – Nashville mandolin favorite (Alice Gerrard, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes Band)
• Trevor Holder – Georgia banjo virtuoso (The Price Sisters, Five Mile Mountain Road, Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee)
• Conner Vlietstra – Chattanooga guitar wizard (The Price Sisters, Five Mile Mountain Road, Chattanooga Dogs)
• Rina Rossi – Local favorite on bass (Steam Machine, Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee)

This is going to be a special afternoon of high-energy bluegrass you won’t want to miss.
