Cloud Cult
Cloud Cult is an experimental indie rock band from St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States, led by singer-songwriter Craig Minowa. The name originated from the ancient prophecies of indigenous North Americans. History Cloud Cult developed in 1995 as Craig Minowa recruited several other artists to contribute to his solo recordings. The band's early work earned Cloud Cult several offers from record labels, but all were rejected in favor of self-publishing. As they began to play live, one of their show's most distinctive features was the live painting by Connie Minowa and Scott West: over the course of a show they each completed a painting to be auctioned off at the end. In 1997, lead singer Craig Minowa formed Earthology Records on his organic farm, powered by geothermal energy and built partially from reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. This nonprofit label uses only recycled materials and donates all profits to environmental charities. The band also tours in a biodiesel van. I ...

Craig Minowa
Craig Minowa is a singer, songwriter, and composer best known as the frontman for the alternative rock band Cloud Cult. He is also the founder of Earthology Records. Minowa was born Craig Richardson and grew up in Owatonna, Minnesota. Early life and education Minowa was raised Lutheran in a family whose social life revolved around the church community. As a child, when his peers were interested in football, Minowa was a self-described "astronomy geek" who memorized the diameter of planets. Throughout his childhood, the family's living room was dominated not by a television, but by a piano which his mother would often play for Minowa and his sisters. "I think it distilled a lifelong feeling in me that you can make your own entertainment, and you can also sculpt your own mood by what you choose to create," he said. Minowa's spiritual interests were informed by his early experiences with Christianity but extend beyond it. When he was 16, rather than meeting his family at church on ...
