Minnesota singers promote the land of “10,000 things to do”

Minnesota's office of tourism is hoping that local crooners will woo you into exploring more of the state.

Local musicians - including Dessa, Haley Bonar, Chris Koza and Lucy Michelle - all lent their voices to a series of radio ads for Explore Minnesota's "More to Explore" campaign.

According to a press release the radio spots are airing in greater Minnesota and some radio stations in the Twin Cities through a marketing agreement with the Minnesota Broadcasters Association.

Above is a 60-second Dylan-esque music video created to highlight the lyrics and credit the Minnesota singers.

You can listen to all of the radio ads - including one specific to arts and culture - here.

Handy fact: Tourism is an $11.3 billion industry in Minnesota, employing 235,000 people.
