Since 2004 Flaneur Productions have been proud and honored to host the annual Heliotrope Festival of underground music at various theatres in Minneapolis and it has been a major point of pride for all of us at Flaneur to have been able to see so many of our favorite musicians perform in an environment that befits their dedication and talent each spring for the past nine years. This year however we have made the rather tough decision to take a pause and come back for a tenth installment next year that will truly do justice to the momentous occasion a tenth Heliotrope merits. We hope that the musicians and the incredibly supportive community of adventurous listeners that have kept the festival vital all this time will bear with us during this fallow season and come back next year when we hope to deliver something truly special. We had every intention of having Heliotrope happen again this year as it always has but a convergence of many different adversarial factors have made the possibility of anything other than a very workmanlike event this year.
