SPECIAL GUEST: MICHAEL ROSSETTO

When the world's on fire and the seeds of division are sown throughout the land, music and ceremony have always held a sacred space for healing and renewal. Room Enough, Time Enough, only the second full-length solo record from singer-lyricist & folk activist David Huckfelt of The Pines, is a record about restoring balance: space and attention, peace and equality, redeeming the marginalized, and remembering the forgotten. It's a new expression of the ancient ritual and power of songs to weave a web of resilience and protection over our land, our loves, and our resistance, from a songwriter whose new solo endeavor is a present-moment plea for connection and compassion.

David Huckfelt is a singer / lyricist / activist and founding frontman of Minneapolis indie-folk cult favorites The Pines. An Iowa native and former theology student, Huckfelt attended the prestigious Iowa Writers Workshop undergrad program before turning his attention to songwriting and performing. With musical roots in the same fertile Midwestern soil that produced legendary folk singers like John Prine and Greg Brown, Huckfelt has shared stages with artists from Prine, Mavis Staples & Emmylou Harris to Bon Iver, Calexico and Trampled By Turtles. His work with The Pines received record of the year accolades from Mojo & Q Magazine, and garnered praise from David Fricke (Rolling Stone) as one of the finest songwriters of his generation. In 2018 Huckfelt received the prestigious Artist-In-Residence award at Isle Royale National Park on Lake Superior, where in sixteen days he wrote the fourteen songs that would become his breakout solo debut “Stranger Angels”. In 2012 he met American Indian Movement leader & poet John Trudell on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, and their subsequent collaboration resulted in the song "Time Dreams", hailed by Democracy Now! and the last recording Trudell made before passing. Since then, Huckfelt has partnered with an impressive array of Native American artists and activists including Keith Secola, Quiltman, Winona LaDuke and novelist Louise Erdrich in the fight for social justice and protection for Mother Earth. In thousands of shows across the United States, Canada & overseas, Huckfelt’s grassroots following has grown from small-town opera houses, Midwestern barn concerts, and progressive benefit events to national tours and festival stages like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Edmonton and Calgary Folk Fests, and the legendary First Avenue club in his beloved Minneapolis home.

"HIS NEW ALBUM, ROOM ENOUGH TIME ENOUGH, OFFICIALLY DEBUTS ON FEBRUARY 26TH AND SERVES AS A BOLD ENVIRONMENTAL BATTLE CRY…THE LYRICAL POETRY OF THE ALBUM ALSO CARRIES THE SOUND HIGHER THROUGH ITS OVERARCHING THEME OF PERSEVERANCE AND PRESERVATION.” – AMERICAN SONGWRITER

"DAVID HUCKFELT IS A MIDWESTERN FOLKSINGER WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE INCREASINGLY DESPERATE FIGHT TO STOP THE CONSTRUCTION OF LINE 3, A TAR-SANDS PIPELINE THAT WOULD CUT ACROSS MINNESOTA. HIS NEW SINGLE, “BOOK OF LIFE,” IS DEDICATED TO “THE INDIGENOUS WATER PROTECTORS STANDING UP AND SPEAKING OUT FOR MOTHER EARTH ALL ACROSS TURTLE ISLAND.” - BILL MCKIBBEN, THE NEW YORKER

"SINGER-SONGWRITER DAVID HUCKFELT LIKEWISE CELEBRATES BOTH THE JOY AND THE SOCIOPOLITICAL POWER OF ART, EMBRACING A BELIEF, AS HE PUTS IT, “THAT MUSIC SHOULD EXPAND THE SPACE OF THE ROOM WHERE YOU SIT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, BE SO POWERFUL THAT IT NAILS YOU TO THE WALL.” – NO DEPRESSION

Michael Rossetto:

As the son of Italian immigrants living in the midwest, it is surprising that a banjo found its way into the hands of Michael Rossetto. As a self taught banjoist and guitarist, Rossetto moved from Wisconsin to the Twin Cities in ‘97 and began writing and recording instrumental music with his quartet, Spaghetti Western String Co. After four records, two MN Music Awards (2005, 2006) and a handful of silent film score performances, the group disbanded in 2010. Their music can be heard in the documentary Winnebago Man.

He spent the last several years working as a sideman for The Pines, David Huckfelt, Pieta Brown, Erik Koskinen and Buffalo Gospel. In 2015 he began recording what would become Intermodal Blues, a collection of instrumental music that is a homage to the global music well that Rossetto draws inspiration from. Intermodal Blues was produced by Twin Cities drummer/percussionist, JT Bates along with Chris Bates (bass) and Jim Anton (doshpuluur). The collection of songs are heavily influenced by Rossetto’s travels to his parents’ villages in Italy, the deserts of north western India and the winter back roads in the midwest.
