Minnesota’s Own Cori Kennedy To Play Freedom Fest In July

Freedom Fest made another announcement today, and it had to do with who will be playing on Saturday, July 18th. Minnesota's own, Cori Kennedy, will own the side stage on Saturday, performing between acts.

From Kasson, Minnesota to Nashville, TN

Kennedy, who rose to fame by performing on The Voice during season 28, was eliminated in the November 17th episode. Kennedy's performance on the show sparked national attention for the singer, who admitted to only starting after her college softball career was over.

Kennedy comes from Kasson, which is located not far from Rochester, and is excited to be back performing in Minnesota.

After her time on the show, Kennedy and her fiancé decided to push all their chips in and move to Nashville, and according to Kennedy, so far it's worked out well.

"Cori Kennedy IS JOINING US TO PLAY HER FIRST FESTIVAL!!

Cori is from Kasson, MN & you might know her from the last season of The Voice or from the Minnesota State University, Mankato softball team. She's going to be rockin' the secondary stage ALL DAY July 18th!! Don't miss her!!"

6 Photos You Won't Believe Were Taken In Minnesota

After having spent the greater part of the last three weeks outside Minnesota, it has been great to be back. We live in a very beautiful part of the country. From the North Shore's jagged cliffs to the rolling croplands of southern Minnesota and to the driftless area near Preston, our state is filled with beautiful sights. I managed to find 6 photos that were taken right here in Minnesota, but when you look at them, you'd think they were taken somewhere else completely. Let's enjoy the land of 10,000 photos, shall we?
