New to the MinnRoast stage is Rep. Keith Ellison. The 5th District representative will be bringing his guitar with and, if the video below is any indication, might sing the blues for the audience on April 24. (This is the first MinnRoast to feature sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives — thank you Keith Ellison and Tom Emmer!)
