Bio:

We aren't big fans of MySpace any more, and recommend finding out more about us at our website www.saintanyway.com!
St. Anyway have recorded two albums. They are available online and wherever very fine and specific local music is sold (no Wal-Marts or Best Buys, unless we put em there).

Our Sophomore album TWO is now available on iTunes and Amazon.com!

St. Anyway is Tony Petersen and Jamie Kallestad, an up-and–coming acoustic duo with roots in folk, bluegrass and rock n’ roll. Hailing from Dylan country, Minnesota, Petersen and Kallestad have been heavily influenced both by Duluth’s burgeoning alternative music scene and the resurgence of traditional music styles in the region. The songs of St. Anyway cover a wide spectrum—from lilting acoustic ballads to rowdy bluegrass banjo shakedowns and innovative alt-country creations. A dual songwriting force, Petersen and Kallestad conjure visions of the city with wry observation and evocative imagery. Their songs can punch out a powerful message or wind with insinuating melody down the back roads of a clever narrative. Between original songs, expect to hear rejuvenated folk and blue-grass covers as well as stand-out banjofied versions of rock classics. Apart from the inescapable folk-rock legacy of Minnesota’s own Bob Dylan, the pair also cite Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, and Ryan Adams as major musical influences. In addition, Petersen and Kallestad claim to draw inspiration from other Minnesota homegrown acts—The Replacements, Trampled by Turtles, and Charlie Parr.
