Everyone in Minnesota who has been to one of his concerts, gone to Rossi’s, enjoyed music at the Fine Line, rocked at the Cabooze, listened to jazz at Sophia or enjoyed the funky reggae of Ipso Facto knows Wain McFarlane, the Rastafarian, guitar-wielding frontman leading the charge. He has used his raspy, soulful voice to jam with Branford Marsalis, Vernon Reed, Don Cheadle, Michael Bland, Dave Pirner, Ziggy Marley, Tracy Chapman, Cyndi Lauper and Prince to name a few. His music credentials reach beyond the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota to the shores of Jamaica and throughout the world.
