Statement

In the spring of 2003, Channel 2 TPT (Public Television KTCA) accepted a proposal to develop two 1/2 hour segments per week for airing on Sunday nights beginning in April, 2003. I am grateful for the possibility Channel 2 offered and the local musicians, venues and sponsors who participated in making Bootleg Minneapolis a success.

Each episode of Bootleg Minneapolis documented a local band before, during and after a performance at a local establishment or event. Some shows featured interviews outside of the artist's performing life, giving the viewer access to another dimension of what it is like to make the choice to be in a band.

Local musical acts like Faux Jean, Curtis A, Planet Melvin, Jessy Green and Vio Voom, The Psychedelicates, 12 Rods, Polara and other artists on the Susstones Label, Kid Dakota, and Baby Grant Johnson have already contributed their particular musical stylings to Bootleg Minneapolis. Thanks to acts like these and the as yet undocumented talent that exists in Minneapolis, Bootleg Minneapolis will become the show to watch for original and innovative performances by the area’s most exciting new musical prospects.

Bootleg Minneapolis will capture upcoming area musicians at work and play. Musicians in their element, in the very real world they create for themselves and the audiences they generate. Performers setting out to do what so many only dream of doing. These area musicians dream big dreams . . . and we document how they make them happen.

If you are interested in sponsoring the program, we would be happy to personally meet with you for a full presentation of our direction, goals and so forth. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please let me know.

Someone at TPT2 informed us that we were getting the best ratings for our time slot in 5 years.

Mei Young of KQ's Homegrown said, 'I think what you guys are doing is really great."

My mom said, "nice haircut."
