Information

Chef Gustavo Romero

James Beard Nominated Chef and Co-Owner of Oro by Nixta

Chef Gustavo Romero is a James Beard-nominated chef and co-founder of Oro by Nixta, the Minneapolis restaurant celebrated for putting heirloom Mexican corn at the center of its cuisine. With roots in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo, Romero has dedicated his career to reviving traditional nixtamalization and showcasing centuries-old corn varieties—using them to craft everything from hand-pressed tortillas to innovative masa dishes that honor Indigenous foodways. At Oro by Nixta, his menus elevate heirloom corn from humble staple to culinary star while promoting sustainable agriculture and cultural heritage, earning him national recognition. His favorite things to do outdoors is to walk his dog, watch his son climb and kick a ball around. Oh, and eat.

Information

Fitz Cahall

Host, Dirtbag Diaries Podcast

Hours after hitting “publish” on the Dirtbag Diaries podcast back in 2007, Fitz Cahall knew his life had just changed. An avid climber, snowboarder and cyclist brought a training in journalism and a belief that the outdoor media was missing the plot when it only covered well-funded, elite athletes tackling 8,000 meter peaks. Adventure happens closer to home in powerful and profound ways that don’t require big budgets. He turned the stories he’d collected through years around campfires into what would become one of the first hit podcasts. Almost two decades later Fitz and the Diaries teams still lift up surprising, impactful and often humorous stories from the great outdoors.

David Huckfelt & Jeremy Ylvisaker

Musicians

David Huckfelt is a singer/ lyricist /folk-activist whose poetic sensibilities and songs of no-spiritual-surrender have earned him a cult following in the darker hollows far off the beaten path of the music business’s rushing roar. An Iowa native and former theology student, Huckfelt attended the prestigious Iowa Writers Workshop before dropping hold of academic and theoretical pursuits and turning his attention to songwriting and performing. With improvisational mastery and a stubborn insistence of remaining in the moment with his audience, Huckfelt’s folk shows have earned him a devoted following from small-town opera houses & theaters to national festival stages like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Edmonton and Calgary Folk Fests, and the legendary First Avenue mainroom. Sharing stages with artists as diverse as Mavis Staples, Bon Iver, Emmylou Harris, Arcade Fire, Calexico, Gregory Alan Isakov, Iris Dement & more, Huckfelt’s roots run deep as a folk singer steeped in the tradition of performing other artists’ songs. An early encounter and collaboration with legendary Native American poet John Trudell introduced Huckfelt as friend & ally to an array of Indigenous artists & activists including Keith Secola, Louise Erdrich, Winona LaDuke, Quiltman & more. He also served as musical director and performer at “Water Is Life” Music + Resistance Festival in Duluth, MN and his songs appear in the new AMC TV series “Dark Winds” produced by Robert Redford & George R.R. Martin. A founding frontman of Minneapolis indie-folk cult favorites The Pines, with roots in the same Midwestern soil that produced legendary folk singers like John Prine and Greg Brown, David’s new solo work preserves a rugged optimism that blasts through layers of darkness in real time with songs that speak volumes, soft & clear.
