Get Ready to Rock: Amped School of Music Forms '70s Bands for Fargo Street Fair's 50th Anniversary Finale
FARGO, ND - Calling all musicians: Amped School of Music is putting together two brand-new bands this summer, and they need YOU. The Downtown Fargo music studio's Rock Band Crash Course is a 4-week program that takes musicians from "never played in a band before" to "rocking out on stage" and this year's stage is none other than the 50th Annual Fargo Street Fair.
Two high-energy bands are forming now:
🪩 '70s Funk Band - jamming out to "September" (Earth, Wind & Fire) and "Play That Funky Music" (Wild Cherry)
🎸 '70s Rock Band - cranking up "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and "More Than a Feeling" (Boston)
Both bands will take the stage as part of Amped's headlining Saturday finale set, "Amped: Turn It Up to 70," at Broadway Square on Saturday, July 18, around 4 PM - closing out one of Fargo's biggest community celebrations in style.
"We are so excited to share the excitement of 50 years of the Fargo Street Fair this year with these fun, high-energy bands," said Emily Swedberg, founder of Amped School of Music.

In addition to great music, you can purchase meals hot off the grill prepared by the Museum Cafe, and enjoy root beer floats, beer, & wine. Doors open at 5:30 pm, with opening bands taking the stage at 6 pm, and headliners at 7 pm.

Art Project 605 presents THE NATURALIST, a group show that positions the contemporary artist as naturalist: an attentive observer, witness, and defender of nature, whose practice engages the entangled relationships among wildlife, landscape, and human culture. Through painting, photography, sculpture, and woodworking, Sara Jones, Eliza Klarer, Robert Larson, Pamela Sherlock, and Talon Stammen examine the natural world not only as subject matter, but as a site of inquiry, memory, reverence, and celebration.

Art Project 605, an art gallery in downtown Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, was founded in 2021 by Ellen Moses and Lori O’Dea with the mission to promote contemporary art in the region and offer a space for visitors to experience new forms of visual expression.
