SUMMARY:Boundless Journeys: A Screening of Everything Everywhere All at Once
DESCRIPTION:Frozen River Film Festival presents \nBoundless Journeys: A Screening of Everything Everywhere All at Once\nDoors open at 6:30pm\nTickets: $10 for Adults | $8 for FRFF Members (20% discount) | FREE for Students\nJoin us for an adventurous screening of Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as “the Daniels”)\, Everything Everywhere All at Once took the film world by storm with its bold storytelling\, emotional depth\, and striking visuals. The film follows Evelyn Wang\, a weary laundromat owner\, as she’s swept into a wild adventure where she alone can save existence by exploring alternate lives she could have led. \nGarnering seven Academy Awards\, including Best Picture\, Best Director\, and Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh\, the film is as heartfelt as it is inventive—blending sci-fi\, action\, and comedy with themes of identity\, connection\, and the chaos of modern life. \nEverything Everywhere All at Once (2022) is rated R due to moments of sexual material\, violence\, and language. \nConcessions and FRFF merchandise will be available for purchase to round out the movie experience. \n

SUMMARY:Opposable Thumbs
DESCRIPTION:Friday / September 12 / 7:00pm\n$15 (+processing fees) in Advance / $20 at the Door\nTickets will be available at Music Mart (formerly Hardt’s Music) and Eventbrite until September 12 at 4:00pm. Note: Music Mart now accepts credit cards and checks made out to Music Mart.\nCoffeehouse & gallery open at 6:00pm. Cash bar for wine & beer.\nPerformance at 7:00pm\nOpposable Thumbs is a four-piece string band that performs originals and progressive string band music. This band first performed in the 90’s. After about 20 years\, they started meeting weekly\, reviving past repertoire\, and adding some new material. With original members Wayne Beezley; mandolin and octave mandolin\, Rick Sampson; banjo\, guitar and mandolin\, Betsy Neil; fiddle\, they added a new bass player\, Larry Dalton\, and continued honing their skills. \nWayne Beezley\, landed in Winona after performing with the notable Bluegrass band\, Monroe Doctrine\, which was based in Colorado. Wayne’s time with Monroe Doctrine took him to major festivals\, college campuses\, and other popular venues across the country. This band was cutting edge Progressive Bluegrass and influenced many young musicians\, bringing this style of bluegrass music to the Midwest in the ‘70’s. He currently performs locally with The Bus Boys and String Ties. \nSince 1977\, Rick Sampson has been delighting audiences with his innovative banjo playing with a variety of bands including The Riverbenders\, Traveling Kind\, and Suite Grass. He has worked with a variety of bands including a Scottish Rock group\, Peter Ostroushko\, Kate Mackenzie\, Chris Silver\, Brian Wicklund\, and jazz violinist Randy Sabien\, to name a few. He placed second at the Telluride festival in the banjo competition two years in a row. Also\, after attending the Red Wing Technical College\, he started making banjo bridges that are sold internationally and used by prominent musicians worldwide. He has crafted and sold wooden flutes and flat picks as well. \nBetsy Neil began learning music on violin and piano as a child. As a young adult she continued to perform in symphonies\, string quartets and theater pits\, but soon became interested in swinging her bow in a different direction. In the mid-seventies she developed a strong interest in fiddling and studied a variety of styles including Bluegrass\, Appalachian old time\, Swing\, Celtic\, and Cajun. She has performed in numerous string bands\, the most notable being\, The Buffalo Gals. Currently she performs with the Twin Cities based Cajun band\, Roux La La and Winona Symphony\, as well as anything else that calls for a violin or fiddle. \nRich Casey\, first performed with Opposable Thumbs about 20 years ago. Rich is a musical man about town who\, in addition to providing a solid musical foundation to the High 48s’ hard‐driving bluegrass sound\, keeps a busy performance schedule lending his doghouse skills to a wide range of musical situations. \nThis performance is made possible in part thanks to the generous support of Merchants Bank\, Dahl Auto\, and Affinity Plus.

SUMMARY:The Landscape of Guitar: Paintings by Bruce Hecksel
DESCRIPTION:The Landscape of Guitar: Paintings by Bruce Hecksel\nOpening Reception\nSunday / September 21 / 1:00PM – 4:00PM\nExhibit Dates: September 21 – October 18\, 2025\nTerra Guitarra® (Landscape of Guitar) is the original painting style of Bruce Hecksel. Bruce’s stained-glass like vibrant\, highly textured style is acrylic paint on canvas & board using a combination of dry brushing\, stippling\, impasto\, smudging among other techniques. \n“Composing paintings with guitar trees\, mountains\, rivers\, lakes\, clouds\, birds\, I’m suggesting that all of our reality has a voice. The whole world is literally singing. Once we realize this we then choose to sing in harmony with it or make up our own song.” \nBruce Hecksel was a professional guitarist that performed over 5\,000 concerts in his duo Patchouli & Terra Guitarra. Bruce passed away peacefully July 28\, 2025 from stroke complications after a 3 year battle with cancer. He was always generous with his joy and light and you can see and feel that in each of these featured Landscape of Guitar paintings in this special posthumous exhibit. \nIn place of an artist’s talk\, Bruce’s beloved partner Julie Patchouli will share a few words in his memory and present the animation of The Landscape of Guitar.
