Rangers Fall 2025 Minnesota Tour featuring Keith Secola
2025-11-20 - 2025-11-23 | Virginia MN, Minneapolis MN, St. Cloud MN, Duluth MN
🎶 Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with Rangers! 🎶

This November, join Rangers featuring the acclaimed Keith Secola for their Fall 2025 Minnesota Tour, celebrating National Native American Heritage Month. Don’t miss this opportunity to see an incredible lineup of featured artists across four cities!
Rangers will be launching the debut of their brand new CD titled “Rangers”. A collaboration featuring nine songwriters from the Iron Range of northern Minnesota, the project was produced by 7-time Native American Music Award Winner Keith Secola and recorded by Rich Mattson at his lauded studio in Sparta, MN, where artists like Trampled By Turtles, Dan Israel and Martin Devaney have recorded. Mixing the country, blues, rock and Indigenous music you might encounter in the North Country, the album features songs from nine different songwriters with various singers trading off on lead vocals and various instruments. Opening with Tim Wright’s fun radio-friendly “Want You Back” the album travels through sweet and sad stories, ending with the moving closing spoken word track “The Moment.” The songs are rooted in history but speak to life in the Iron Range today, full of joy and struggle.
