One year after smashing a ceremonial guitar to bring the 20th Annual Homegrown to a close, Teague Alexy was all over the eight day long Festival in his adopted hometown of Duluth, Minnesota last week.

The first of Teague’s two official DHGF shows was alongside mandolinist Erik Berry to a sold out show at Cedar Lounge in Superior, WI. Teague and Erik played songs from their duo album Irish American alongside some Teague originals and a version of “Victory” by Erik’s band Trampled By Turtles.

Teague’s second #hgmf19 appearance was an early evening show with his band at Dr Robert Powless Cultural Center in downtown Duluth. The Duluth News Tribune recorded a version of Teague’s new, unreleased song “Captain.”

Teague closed out the final night of the festival singing and playing harmonica at The Rex with Jacob Mahon and The Salty Dogs. Two Jacob Mahon originals, Teague’s “Ol’ John Doe” and an encore of Parliament’s “Can You Get To That” closed a triumphant set.

Earlier in the week, Teague performed two unplugged morning shows at Duluth Coffee as part of Actual Wolf’s week long residency alongside Actual Wolf, Ian Alexy and Feeding Leroy, and joined ska band Woodblind for a lively version of Teague’s “Workingman’s Song” at Duluth Cider.
