Featured on Nov 5: The Cochran Brothers

The Cochran Brothers are exactly what their name suggests—two brothers bound by blood, harmony, and a lifelong love of music. Raised in a deeply musical household in Iowa City, Iowa, Jack and Satchel Cochran grew up surrounded by song, storytelling, and the kind of informal living-room performances that shape musicians from an early age. That foundation still echoes through everything they play today. 

Their journey eventually brought them north to Red Wing, Minnesota, where they honed their craft in the Guitar Program at Minnesota State Southeast. There, they refined not only their musicianship but also the intuitive connection that only siblings can share on stage. 

Blending beloved old standards with heartfelt original songs, The Cochran Brothers deliver performances that feel both timeless and personal. Their sound is rooted in tradition but never stuck in it—warm acoustic textures, close harmonies, and an easygoing authenticity that draws listeners in. 

Between songs, their quirky, offbeat stage banter adds another layer to the experience. Equal parts dry humor and brotherly charm, their onstage rapport feels natural and unfiltered, giving audiences a glimpse into the dynamic that fuels their music. 

At its core, The Cochran Brothers’ act is a continuation of something bigger than themselves—a musical tradition passed down, reshaped, and shared anew with every performance.

About the Artist: Laura Williams (they/she) is a UK born, Midwestern ceramic artist whose practice explores material, narrative, process and play. Laura has spent the last year living in a travel trailer with her partner and their two cats, making her work while teaching at community art studios nationwide. Laura’s pottery is formed through pinching and the potter's wheel. She decorates her surfaces with a mixture of terra sigillata, underglaze, underglaze pencil and glaze. Laura studied ceramics at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and has taught in community art centers for the last ten years.

Laura will be joining Red Wing Arts as a Resident Artist at the Clay & Creative Center for the month of November, where she will be making a new collection of work.

“I’m interested in clay’s ability to record our choices, throw lines, fingerprints, brush strokes, our moods. I'm inspired by contemporary illustration. I love punchy colours, pencil lines, comics, and stories. My work evokes the colours and shapes found in the cartoons I grew up watching. I enjoy story telling in pieces that my neighbors then use. In the rise of a.i. handmade, human objects take on a new level of importance. I'm proud to be a part of an alternative economy in which we use our hands to tell our stories, make slowly and intentionally.

Artist Pop-Up:
Robot Sculpture Building with Matt Swenson
Fri, Nov 27, 1-8 pm

Matt Swenson — robot sculptor and founder of Djonk Americana (say "yonk") — and his merry band of misfit, repurposed robots will be jetting into Red Wing for the 25th annual Holiday Stroll on Friday, November 27. Matt will be hanging out from 1-8 pm at Red Wing Arts, where he's November's featured artist.

His robots are already on display and for sale at Red Wing Arts, with new sculptures landing at the beginning of November — so you don't have to wait until the Stroll to meet the misfits.

Once you've seen one of Matt's robots, you're bound to ask — everyone does — "What's it like inside that dude's head? He sure sees the world in a unique way." The Holiday Stroll is the perfect opportunity to find out firsthand just how his creative cogs turn. Matt will also bring a stash of robot body parts (AKA "old junk") from his art studio's parts morgue that you can sift through and take a crack at cobbling together your own repurposed robot sculpture. Better yet, bring an old piece of junk, a bit of family history, or a special find, and see how Matt would repurpose it into a robot sculpture.

If you've never thought of yourself as "creative" or an "artist," come by and chat with Matt — he'd love to help you uncover your creative calling. Because, as Matt believes, there is something creative inside all of us just waiting to be set free.

About Matt Swenson

Matt Swenson, founder of Djonk Americana (say "yonk"), is a self-proclaimed "odd dude." He loves old things — from true junk you'd find dumpster diving and on the side of the road to vintage advertising tins, toys, and household items to unique finds at estate sales, garage sales, and sometimes antique shops. "I use junk as my sculpting medium because I've always loved the style of old things," says Matt. "A lot of what I find, by most collectors' standards, truly is junk. It doesn't work, it's missing a part, or it has a lot of dings. But I love the character that comes with the patina, holes, and rust." It's what he does with the junk that transforms ordinary castoffs into engaging creatures, also known as "Upcycled Americana Sculptures." The results feel fully Jetsons — both futuristic and nostalgic at the same time. Matt brings an extraordinary ability to take something gathering dust in an attic or rusting in the garage and transform it into what appears to be a living, breathing robot.

The rise of the robots began for Matt one day when inspiration hit him at a local art show. He headed home and immediately began combing through his old stuff (which went back three generations) and built his first creation ("Nash"). Before his eyes, new life was brought to old junk and his creative purpose was born. It wasn't long before people started to bring their own finds to Matt's Djonk art studio, hoping to have him robotize their item (Delta Air Lines came calling, too). What do you do with grandpa's old electric razor? Or grandma's Instamatic? Or an old drive-in speaker? Or a thread spool? Turn it into a character that stirs the imagination and becomes a keepsake in its own right. According to Matt, much of his unique vision is simply a matter of how he's wired. He also owes a huge debt to his father, who was a saver and eclectic artist in his own right. "Plus, I'm a lifelong tinkerer. And with Ax-Man Surplus nearby — as well as weekly estate sales, garage sales, and people trying to discard their 'useless' stuff — the opportunities to uncover gems are endless."

Matt's work is prominently displayed as part of a commissioned exhibit in the Delta Sky Club in Concourse T at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. His work has been featured in local newspapers and city magazines, as well as homes all over the world, yes, world. Matt has also been part of special exhibits at local hospitals, shopping malls, restaurants, lifestyle centers, and galleries, as well as earned entrance into local juried art shows. One of Matt's sculptures even earned an "Honorable Mention" at the Hopkins Center for the Arts juried show.

Though born and raised in Minneapolis, he has also called Wisconsin and Colorado home. When Matt's not dreaming of new junk assembly ideas, he loves to read, as well as hit the single-track trails on his mountain bike. You can find Matt on Instagram @djonkamericana.

This class is full. Email molly.rivera@redwingarts.org to join the waitlist.

Featured on Dec 3: Alexandra Green

Alex Green is a storyteller at heart, weaving together folk songs that linger long after the final note. With a voice both haunting and warm, her music explores the human experience through vivid, relatable narratives—each song unfolding like a quiet conversation or a well-worn story passed between friends.

Her sound is rooted in folk tradition, drawing comparisons to artists like Iris DeMent, Lucinda Williams, Joni Mitchell, and Kacey Chambers. Yet Alex brings a presence all her own, balancing introspective lyricism with a playful spirit that invites listeners into her world.

Often joined by her partner, Red Wing native Kale Olson-Reed, on fiddle and mandolin, her performances take on an added depth—layered with rich instrumentation and a natural musical chemistry. Whether performing as a duo or with a fuller ensemble, the connection between musicians is as compelling as the songs themselves.

Together, they create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and timeless—where melodies carry a hint of mystery, stories unfold with ease, and audiences are drawn into a space where music feels deeply personal and quietly unforgettable.

Little Artists is an early-childhood arts program offering sensory-rich creative classes for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers. The classes are held on the first Wednesday of each month at the Clay & Creative Center.

Through hands-on activities with tactile materials, Little Artists nurtures fine motor development, cognitive growth, and social-emotional skills as children and caregivers create side-by-side. The process-based art projects encourage exploration, observation, play, and creativity. Dress for mess!

Each family who participates will receive a one-time art kit that includes basic art supplies to continue creating at home! These art kits will also be available for working caregivers unable to attend class in person.

Note: These classes are not part of a series. Register for each class separately.
