More about Eric Frost: North Shore singer-songwriter, Eric Frost plays with a variety of local musicians as well as solo. Although Eric began his career in rock n’ roll bands, his true passions are Americana, folk, and bluegrass. His live shows span the breadth of American musical history, blending the traditional with the new to create an engaging and satisfying sound.
Eric Frost’s love for playing the guitar started at a young age, but his parents were hesitant to support his interest as they thought it may be a passing fad. However, his unsupportive elementary school teacher’s comments led them to finally get him his first guitar in fourth grade. Despite initial doubts from his parents and teacher, Frost went on to prove them wrong and formed a successful band in high school, playing at showcases and even trying his hand at writing music. Although he put his guitar aside for a while during college, his passion for music never faded. Today, Frost continues to play and write music, inspiring others to pursue their dreams despite any doubts or obstacles they may face.

This week the music will be by Gordon Thorne. Gordon Thorne picked up a guitar 30 years ago and hasn’t put it down since. He spent years mining early American blues and jazz, blending them with his own style, and serves up what he calls, “the modern sounds of yesterday – today.” Known as the meanest fingerpicker in Northern Minnesota it is where he spends his time working, raising kids and playing a little guitar.
More about Gordon Thorne: The major influences on Gordon Thorne’s guitar style have been the legends of country blues. Such legendary bluesmen as Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy have all left their mark on Thorne’s guitar style. Combining these ragtime and piedmont influences with his own interpretations, Thorne delivers forceful, precise guitar work and soulful vocals. Thorne has been a regular performer in the northern Minnesota and Wisconsin areas for the many years. As much as his musical interests have influenced his playing, his lifestyle has shaped how he views his music. Spend some time riding the rails with Gordon Thorne, one of the most talented acoustic blues musicians in the Northland.
So come and sip some great wine and listen to great music played by Gordon Thorne. You’ll be really glad that you did!

About Grand Portage Rendezvous Days

About The Grand Portage National Monument
The Grand Portage National Monument is a U.S. national monument located on the North Shore of Lake Superior. This historical place was the center of fur trade activity and the Native America Ojibwe heritage. The monument is surrounded by 710 acres within the boundaries of Grand Portage Ojibwe Indian Reservation and is the location of the annual Rendezvous Days Celebration Pow Wow and Grand Portage Rendezvous.
About The Grand Portage
The Grand Portage is an 8.5-mile historic trade route of the French-Canadian voyageurs that passes through waterfalls and rapids that flow into Lake Superior. It became the gateway into rich northern fur-bearing country, where it connected remote interior outposts to lucrative international markets. In August every year, the voyageurs would show up and the company owners would come from Europe, and Grand Portage became a rough and tumble celebration. After the celebration, the furs were loaded aboard massive voyageur canoes and paddled across the Great Lakes and eventually shipped to Europe where many became hats. In the states, the voyageurs would carry trade goods up the portage and then paddle 100s of miles back to their outposts. This repeated until beaver was almost extinct. Luckily for the beaver, the fur hats that their pelts were used went out of fashion.
Now, each year on the second weekend of August, fur trade reenactors descend on Grand Portage, sent up canvas tents, haul birchbark canoes around and the weekend becomes a fun family weekend. The local tribe’s powwow also goes on at the same time.

About the North Shore Winery
Chuck Corliss and his wife Kim founded the North Shore Winery and the Sawtooth Mountain Cider House in Lutsen, Minnesota. The winery offers a variety of red, white, and rosé wines, as well as hard ciders made with a local flair. The winery is open to visitors for tastings, bottles, or a glass of wine. They also host private events.
The idea to build a winery took off when Chuck and Kim were discussing retirement plans and what to do when finished with their “day” jobs. The couple wanted to live in Lutsen so they could ski, mountain bike, sail, and golf full time. Combined with lifelong “research work,” they thought a winery would be a fun new attraction in Lutsen!
Jeremy and Mary Hanson joined the Corliss’ in 2017 as partners.
The winery has grown substantially since its grand opening in 2016 and the Hanson family has been involved since the beginning. With the addition of Jeremy and Mary as partners, the Winery gained additional leadership engaged in the day-to-day operations of the business so it would continue to provide great customer service and good times its customers have come to enjoy.
Jeremy and Mary have been spending significant time on the North Shore since the 1970s, first on the Gunflint Trail and since 2004 in Lutsen. They enjoy Northern Minnesota, starting with BWCA canoe trips in the 70s and family vacations along the North Shore and the Gunflint Trail. They are high school sweethearts (Minneapolis Central!) who have been married for 29 years and have three grown children: Graham, Ana, and Maddy. They enjoy being outdoors – in the woods or on the lake; mountain biking, skiing, fishing, hiking, boating, spending time with friends and family….and yes, drinking wine out on the deck!

About the North Shore Winery
Chuck Corliss and his wife Kim founded the North Shore Winery and the Sawtooth Mountain Cider House in Lutsen, Minnesota. The winery offers a variety of red, white, and rosé wines, as well as hard ciders made with a local flair. The winery is open to visitors for tastings, bottles, or a glass of wine. They also host private events.
The idea to build a winery took off when Chuck and Kim were discussing retirement plans and what to do when finished with their “day” jobs. The couple wanted to live in Lutsen so they could ski, mountain bike, sail, and golf full time. Combined with lifelong “research work,” they thought a winery would be a fun new attraction in Lutsen!
Jeremy and Mary Hanson joined the Corliss’ in 2017 as partners.
The winery has grown substantially since its grand opening in 2016 and the Hanson family has been involved since the beginning. With the addition of Jeremy and Mary as partners, the Winery gained additional leadership engaged in the day-to-day operations of the business so it would continue to provide great customer service and good times its customers have come to enjoy.
Jeremy and Mary have been spending significant time on the North Shore since the 1970s, first on the Gunflint Trail and since 2004 in Lutsen. They enjoy Northern Minnesota, starting with BWCA canoe trips in the 70s and family vacations along the North Shore and the Gunflint Trail. They are high school sweethearts (Minneapolis Central!) who have been married for 29 years and have three grown children: Graham, Ana, and Maddy. They enjoy being outdoors – in the woods or on the lake; mountain biking, skiing, fishing, hiking, boating, spending time with friends and family….and yes, drinking wine out on the deck!

More about Eric Frost: North Shore singer-songwriter, Eric Frost plays with a variety of local musicians as well as solo. Although Eric began his career in rock n’ roll bands, his true passions are Americana, folk, and bluegrass. His live shows span the breadth of American musical history, blending the traditional with the new to create an engaging and satisfying sound.
Eric Frost’s love for playing the guitar started at a young age, but his parents were hesitant to support his interest as they thought it may be a passing fad. However, his unsupportive elementary school teacher’s comments led them to finally get him his first guitar in fourth grade. Despite initial doubts from his parents and teacher, Frost went on to prove them wrong and formed a successful band in high school, playing at showcases and even trying his hand at writing music. Although he put his guitar aside for a while during college, his passion for music never faded. Today, Frost continues to play and write music, inspiring others to pursue their dreams despite any doubts or obstacles they may face.
