Mayyadda Performance - 2pm
GRS is excited to announce that Twin Cities singer-songwriter Mayyadda will be performing at Harvest Fest on Saturday at 2pm!
"Mayyadda is a singer-songwriter from Minneapolis who aspires to use her music to make people slow down, find themselves in another perspective, and feel their way towards individual and collective healing. With an eclectic mix of neo-soul vocals, folksy guitar, pop-style piano with trap beats sprinkled in for flavor, she likes to refer to her genre as, “BlackGirlMagic.” She has been active as a recording artist since 2015, releasing four projects since then: most recently, TRY&REMEMBER, released in October 2021."
