Tim Little Performance and Acoustic Jam
Saturday, May 30, 2026
Tim Little is a singer-songwriter based in southeast Minnesota, who performs both cover and original tunes composed by himself and his lyricist wife, Julie. Tim and his wife’s song collaborations cover a wide range of genres and often reflect a sense of playfulness, struggle, and the tender feelings shared by couples in long term relationships. One of their songs, “Root River,” was made into a music video with panoramic views of the river that was featured in the Root River Current, an online magazine serving southeast Minnesota. Tim was one of four featured artists at the Songwriter’s Showcase in Lanesboro, Minnesota, this past fall, described as a “Nashville style night of original music by area singer-songwriters.”
Beginners Jam: 11 am. Potluck: Noon
