Climes is a musical project led by Minnesota-based artist, Drew Anderson, whose songwriting serves to protest the inhumane and contemplate love and loss.

Climes is a moniker and metaphor—like weather patterns, our individual lives are fleeting, unique, precious.

Climes is plural because this project invites the collaboration of many musicians and artists.

Duluth Dylan Fest Songwriter Contest
May 24
Duluth Dylan Fest Songwriter Contest

Climes was accepted into this year’s Dylan Fest Songwriter’s Contest at Sacred Heart Music Center! We will be asked to perform two songs, one original and a Bob Dylan cover, of course.

The criteria for judging follows: 

1. Originality: Does it create interest and engage the listener? Does it define your voice and your expression? 

2. Melody: Does the melody grab the listener? Does it create emotion and carry the song? 

3. Composition: Do the melody and lyrics complement each other? 

4. Lyrics: Do the lyrics express the idea or convey emotion? Do they engage the listener? 

5. Presentation: Does the song and music impact the audience? Does the performer own the song? This is live, do it with your heart and soul! 

Tickets can be purchased here.
