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. Starfire lives in pirate-radio-station infamy after launching “Random Radio” in 1997, which broadcast random music from his Central Hillside duplex. Father Hennepin released their first studio album,Crooked With Gin, in 2001, though the band is best known for their revival of the Moose Wallow Ramblers song by John Berquist, “I Like It in Duluth”. Along with Starfire on guitar, Father Hennepin features Ted Anderson on guitar, Bob Olson on bass, Jimi Cooper on guitar, Susan Ludwig on keyboard and accordion, and Jim Hagstrom on drums.
