Are you done yet?” I’m thankful for friends, such as: Adam Suarez, Phillip Sitter, Brandon Roney, Robert Gayden and Zach Folken, who would periodically ask me “What’s your thesis about again?” That was a question that would unintentionally put me back on track.

Last modified on 7/13/2007 at 2:49 am Cloud Cult's Minowa album channels loss, pain By ANNA PAIGE CD Review Cloud Cult The Meaning of 8 Earthology Records When Craig Minowa's son died suddenly in the night at the age of 2, Minowa's world must have come to a crashing halt. What came out of that tragic death is his divulgement, an 18-song eulogy titled "The Meaning of 8." Founder, singer, songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist of Cloud Cult, Minowa became a recluse on his organic farm in Northern Minnesota, writing more than 100 songs in an effort to deal with the loss that occurred in 2002. "I just needed the medicine that writing music provides me," Minowa said. What came out of that intense period were 2005's "Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus" and 2007's "The Meaning of 8." The music on "The Meaning of 8" ebbs and flows, crescendos into an explosion of angst, loss and lonely passion. Each song is a calculated peak of emotion, backed with Minowa's indie folk sound and poignant storyteller lyrics. Incredibly personal, the songs on "The Meaning of 8" have the ability to appeal to a wide audience with their approachability and honesty. Minowa attributes the album's name to Carl G. Jung's belief that no matter where you are in the world or at what time in history you lived, the shape of 8 has similar meaning.

  • A CELEBRATION of the ARTS AUGUST 4TH 5TH 6TH WELCOME to SWEET PEA FESTIVAL 2017 It Started As an Idea, a Dream
    A CELEBRATION OF THE ARTS AUGUST 4TH 5TH 6TH WELCOME TO SWEET PEA FESTIVAL 2017 It started as an idea, a dream. A community event brought together by locals, who volunteered their time and talents to bring together musicians, actors, painters, dancers, and many more, to promote the arts in Bozeman. People from every walk of life in our little community came together with a dream: “Hey, lets do something fun this summer.” It started as a one-time event and now, today, 40 Festivals later, Sweet Pea is the signature Bozeman community event and is back with all the fun and entertainment you’ve come to know and love—arts, crafts, dance, children’s activities, theatre, music, Tater Pigs–and new events such as a literary event on Sunday, and returning for a 2nd year, the adult painting workshops. Remember, when you buy your wristband (online or at select outlets) before August 3rd you save $10–and no matter when you purchase your wristband it is good for the whole weekend of Sweet Pea! Many other Festivals cost hundreds of dollars for three days, yet Sweet Pea continues, with our volunteers’ help, to provide top quality entertainment at a ridiculously low price. If you want to get into the Festival for free, all you have to do is volunteer in advance for a three-hour shift and you get complimentary admission. This may be our 40th Festival, but it isn’t done. If you love Sweet Pea and want to see next year be an even greater success, apply to join our board and take part in planning next year’s Festival (August 3-4-5, 2018).
