Friends and musicians will remember Glen “Minnesota” Hanson on Friday with a memorial tribute featuring songs he sang with the Alliance House Band and a short film about him.
The tribute, presented by the Marfa Municipal Alliance for Dead Country & Folk Singers, begins at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at Planet Marfa.
Jack Klatt will travel from the Midwest to perform a song he wrote while staying at Hanson’s home in Marfa, Pat Keesey said in a Facebook post announcing the event. The lineup also includes Baby Steps, accordionist Erin Schneider, DJ David Branch and special guests.
The program will feature a short film by Chris Hillen and Joe Salinas and projections by Jon C. Coleman. Commemorative posters featuring a photograph of Hanson by Romi Gold will be available for purchase.
The band will collect tips at the stage, with all tips going to the Marfa Education Foundation to support teacher stipends, Keesey said.
