The Legend of Sweet ol' Heath

Heath Henjum, bass player for The Hopefuls and a dozen other acts, died unexpectedly in late February 2025. He was 55 years old. One of my regrets regarding my book The Hopefuls: Chasing a Rock ‘n’ Roll Dream in the Minnesota Music Scene is that - because the Hopefuls collective is so filled with fascinating figures - I wasn’t able to give all of them the spotlight they deserve. Heath is definitely at the top of that list; I estiamate I only used about a tenth of what he shared with me when I interviwed him in 2015. So please forgive me for using the sad occasion of his passing to remedy that. Not that Heath especially cared about the spotlight. All good bands, like all good sports teams, need a “glue guy,” someone who finds their joy not in adulation but in making everyone else around them better.

Bio Formed at the University of South Dakota with a line-up of Erik Appelwick (bass, vocals), Justin Seim (guitar, vocals), Dave Scarbrough (guitar, vocals), and George Gongopoulos (drums), the Harvesters quickly rose to the upper echelons of a healthy mid-1990s southeastern South Dakota music scene.  In 1996 they became the first band from the state to get into South By Southwest. The alt-country band broke up in the haze of the late 1990s, but left behind one (very hard to find) CD.

Citrîne

Bio (from their website) "Citrîne was made possible by fate and modern technology. Formerly an acoustic singer-songwriter, Nashville-based Bethany traded her ukulele for synths and formed a new  sound. A string of serendipitous coincidences led to her collaboration with St. Paul-based musician and producer Erik Appelwick (Tropical Depression, Vicious Vicious, Tapes 'n Tapes) and Citrîne was born. Having never met in person, the band uses a modern-day mail-and-return system to complete songs in their respective cities. After releasing two EPs, Spine and Waves , Citrîne continues to release a steady stream of new material, building on the momentum of their Spotify success with the ambivalent break-up single, “Arcade.” Their songs have been featured on HBO, MTV, and The CW."
