Ward or the Clash then throw down hard on a standard by Bill Monroe.The High 48s are also a band of songwriters. Here, too, they take a modern approach, heeding the well-worn advice to writers: write what you know. Their songs ring true to their lives as northern city-folk rather than an imagined “sweet, sunny south” of coal mines and dark hollers.More about The OK Factor:Playful and unexpected, new-classical crossover duo The OK Factor writes and performs folk-inspired music influenced by multiple genres, with an artistry that reveals their classical training. Cellist Olivia Diercks and violinist Karla Peters find great joy in defying expectations and delivering an experience outside of what audiences anticipate from a cello and violin combo. Organic and genuine, their original compositions feel both comfortingly familiar and uniquely fresh, and have been described as "genre-bending" (Julie Amacher, MPR) and "pure magic" (Wausau Pilot & Review).The ease with which they write and perform and their passion for educational outreach has caught the attention of the Minnesota music community in which they live and work, as McKnight Fellowship finalists in 2026 and 2025, recipients of a 2024 Minnesota State Arts Board Arts Education Grant, and a 2020 Scandinavian Folk Arts and Cultural Traditions Fellowship through the American Scandinavian Foundation. Olivia and Karla invite audiences to explore music and cultivate a curiosity about its role in their lives.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYURAbOryr4https://youtu.be/jldgcnhOUWE https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/7423af00-9431-11f1-b9f1-838473689728-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/minneapolis/backyard-sessions-the-ok-factor-the-high-48s/100001993012318495 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, nonprofit, art, workshops, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-08-15T18:00:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 2215 E 58th St - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Minneapolis - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: 2215 E 58th St - **lat**: 44.8978422 - **long**: -93.24048959999999 - **full address**: 2215 E 58th St, 2215 East 58th Street, Minneapolis, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Backyard Sessions: The OK Factor + The High 48s! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/ca4532005e27ee10eaa1a1b97c96e7dca2dbf1621fcb93f0955dd15cf1e32a4e-rimg-w1200-h600-dceef2f5-gmir.jpg?v=1783222744 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Backyard Sessions: The OK Factor + The High 48s! being held? - **A:** Backyard Sessions: The OK Factor + The High 48s! takes place on Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 2215 E 58th St, 2215 East 58th Street, Minneapolis, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Backyard Sessions: The OK Factor + The High 48s!? - **A:** Backyard Sessions: The OK Factor + The High 48s! is organized by The OK Factor. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
