Honkey-tonk band Father Hennepin, led by Homegrown Music Festival founder Scott “Starfire” Lunt, holds the distinction of having played the festival more times than any other act. Counting unofficial live-stream performances during the pandemic, this year marks the 25th time the Fat Hens will play Homegrown. Flanking Starfire are Ted Anderson on guitar, Bob Olson on bass, Jimi Cooper on guitar, Susan Ludwig on keyboard and accordion, and Jim Hagstrom on drums. The band’s studio album, Crooked With Gin, came out in 2001. The group leans into sounds from soft rock to twangy country, with heartfelt lyrics to boot.
