The Untold Story of Surahoolies Part 1
In this Untold Story of Central Minnesota, KVSC Music Consultant John Drake talks with St. Cloud based guitar player Mark Hasbrouck and bassist J Ellingson—two members of the band Surahoolies.
Hasbrouck and Ellingson visited the KVSC studios before Surahoolies most recent reunion performance in August of 2024. This is part one of a two-part feature.
In this episode, we learn about the formation of the band in the late 1980s and the lineup changes that led to the fan-favorite, six-piece unit, that found success at St. Cloud’s Red Carpet nightclub—and beyond—during the 1990s.
