Making Music: Dessa (Doomtree)
Dessa is truly a Renaissance woman. She's a spoken word poet, an emcee for local rap family Doomtree, and a Jerome Grant recipient who also moonlights as a technical writer by day. Her solo release "False Hopes", earned her a spot on the Star Tribune's "Top Ten Local Releases" in 2005. We were pleased to host Dessa on Making Music in April 2007. She talked about her story as abundantly illustrated by a detailed PowerPoint presentation.

While serving as the bassist for Minneapolis-based avant-jazz trio Happy Apple , Erik Fratzke also explores the doom and grandeur of heavy metal with his band Zebulon Pike.

On September 18th, 2008 Erik Fratzke joined us on Making Music and we discovered how he balances his interest in jazz, obscure 20th century composers, and progressive metal as a bassist and guitarist, jazz man and metal god.
