Gene LaFond & The Wild Unknown

About Me

Gene LaFond has released 2 CDs of all original songs that can be purchased here at My Space, at his website: www.genelafond.com, CDBaby.com, I-Tunes or all E-music sites. Both CDs were produced by Gene & Minnesota Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Willie Murphy with help from several of Minnesota's top musicians including Willie Murphy, Dan Lund and Becky Thompson.It's all about the songs! They run from blues to rock to country to irreverent folk. I call it "Folk Rattle & Roll". The songs grew out of the experiences I've had as a founding member of the band "The Mere Mortals", performing twice at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert in San Francisco, opening for Bob Dylan, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Kinky Friedman, and many more.Gene LaFond and The Wild Unknown perform regularly throughout the Twin Cities area and the midwest. We do house partys and private partys too as solo (Gene), duo (Gene & Brian), trio (Gene, Dean & Steve) or the whole dam band.For bookings contact Gene LaFond at: [email protected] or call 612-865-5447, or through his wewbsite: www.geneLafond.com.
