Artist Bio:
Logan Van Sickle got his start in music at the St. John’s Boys Choir, where he first discovered his love for music. Since then, he has performed in various musicals, played in bands, participated in adult choirs such as the Minnesota Chorale, and pursued music in college. He has a deep love for classical music as well as indie and folk, with rock and jazz also influencing his work. Logan is excited for the opportunity to explore his influences and personal inspiration while creating as much music as possible.

This RVR Artist Residency is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
