When he sings of ‘major truths in minor keys’… we know not only what he means, but how he feels.”
– critic Scott Alarik writing about Lonnie Knight
Singer-songwriter Lonnie Knight may joke that “Legendary is just another way of saying ‘…been around a long time,’ ” but the lanky Minnesotan is one of those rare musicians who has truly earned the title Legendary. He got his start as a folkie, learning from the likes of Townes Van Zandt. Then he played in some of the Midwest’s seminal rock bands, including Jokers Wild, the Nielsen-White Band and the Hoopsnakes. His recent CDs Better Days (2005) and I Wrote My Name on You (2007) brought him back to his acoustic roots, and with his newest CD So We Jump (2010), his music is inspiring a whole new generation of fans.
