Courtney Yasmineh in concert
Songs will be flying through the Aerie on August 23rd!
From 3-5 PM, Courtney Yasmineh will perform a full concert of songs from her twelve album body of work including favorites by Bob Dylan, whose music has been her north star throughout her career.
$20 suggested donation
Courtney Yasmineh’s backstory of running away from Chicago to the north woods of Lake Vermilion in 1978 has become legendary and has informed her music and her writing and helped her forge a loyal local and international following.
She has toured extensively for twenty years in Europe and the US, supporting her twelve albums as an independent music artist.
Her north woods anthems and her first published work of literary fiction A Girl Called Sidney: The Coldest Place first brought her to TLC as the recipient of the prestigious Gaia Award in 2018 - and we’ve been fans of hers ever since!
Courtney subsequently was awarded the Bob Dylan Legacy Grant Award from KAXE Radio and became the artist in residence in 2025 at the Sigurd Olson legacy Listening Point Foundation.
This summer she is the face of the billboard campaign for the Minneapolis Institute of Art summer music series, featuring a museum performance July 30th with her full band.
