I heard the music start
The song that they were singing
Is ringing in my heart
--Joan Baez, No Man Is An Island
There's nothing like music to turn a barren field into a happening. This summer Silver Bay is again hosting a series of free "Happenings" courtesy Rocky Wall Entertainment, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation established for the purpose of producing high quality live Americana Music events in the City of Silver Bay on Lake Superior's North Shore.
It started like this. In 2015, neighbors on Rocky Wall Road began hosting private house concerts. Over five years, they welcomed talented musicians into their homes, sharing music with friends and neighbors, and organizing intimate concerts. In the summer of 2021, they discussed expanding their passion for music to the broader community. They decided to establish Rocky Wall Productions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to achieve this goal.
Many residents of Silver Bay are actively involved in community improvement efforts. The City Center location, nestled in a valley with scenic views of Lake Superior, is an especially appealing venue and the concerts have begun to build a serious following. This year, Rocky Wall Productions will spearhead efforts to develop a plan for establishing a City Center Park with an amphitheater.
And don't be afraid of the weather. Summers and fall are beautiful here, though in the event of a hard rain, they have a backup venue. Bring a chair and a carload of friends. You will undobtedly be rewarded.
"Please join us in welcoming these artists to our community." --Charlie Parr
