Thursday was Major League Baseball's official opening day (2 games were played in Japan the week prior) and for the Minnesota Twins home opener against the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota's own Har Mar Superstar blessed the crowd with the National Anthem. His awesome rendition then helped inspire the Twins to a 2-0 victory over the Indians (we think). Check out BrooklynVegan for more coverage.

In other Har Mar news, his newly formed duo with Sabrina Ellis, Heart Bones recently played SXSW. Last year, The Current shared the duo's "Disappearer" track, The 405 shared the track entitled "Little Dancer", and Brooklyn Vegan shared the first track "This Time It's Different". More info on the duo is below.

Heart Bones is a collaboration between Sean Tillmann (aka Har Mar Superstar) and Sabrina Ellis (A Giant Dog/ Sweet Spirit). The two became friends while touring together in 2016. They recognized a kindred quality of over the top showmanship, and their new project became inevitable. Throughout 2018 the duo have been alternating visits to each other’s hometowns of Minneapolis and Austin to co-write original material. Inspired by their favorite classic duos such as Nancy Sinatra/ Lee Hazelwood, Serge Gainsbourg/ Jane Birkin, Sonny & Cher, and Sam & Dave, their influences have spanned everything from doo wop, classic duets, musical theater, electro dance, and melancholy pop.

As Heart Bones developed their catalog, the Dirty Dancing soundtrack was on high rotation, and they rediscovered what a masterpiece it is. Call it fantasy. Call it obsession, but soon the two imagined themselves performing a live tour of classics such as “Hungry Eyes”, “Be My Baby”, and “Love Is Strange”. The dream becomes a reality November 2018. The duo embarks on a national tour of the Dirty Dancing soundtrack while introducing original Heart Bones material. The shows will feature a six piece backing band because, fuck it, go big or go home.

Let’s… Have… The time of our lives.
