Prairie Clamor Information

TL;DR: Prairie Clamor is a band that does their best to make pop music!
Location: Dakota land, MN, USA.




What is Prairie Clamor?

Prairie Clamor was created by Will Bjorndal in 2017 as a fictitious band from Austin, MN. Since then, Prairie Clamor has become a lot less fictitious, releasing three studio albums, touring the U.S., and visiting both the second-highest and highest natural points in Iowa. Cool! Through the power of Pop Music, Prairie Clamor aims to find hope in the face of ever-increasing awfulness.

Prairie Clamor live in Minneapolis, MN. The band performs regularly in the Twin Cities and hits the road from time to time. Performance locales have included nightclubs, gardens, alleys, gutted church basements, living rooms, bars, dorm common rooms, and parking lots. For upcoming show info, head over to the “performance” page.

Several members of Prairie Clamor have met MN legend Fancy Ray in person. He really is the best looking man in comedy!

If you need help identifying or appraising your marble collection, you really need to talk to Otto.

While camping on tour in Ohio, Peter saw a skunk.
