Osceola
Liner notes
A midwest folk song with warm acoustic guitars and heartfelt vocals about life in Osceola, Wisconsin. The lyrics tell a story of walking down Cascade Street past the old 19th-century storefronts and hearing the rush of Cascade Falls right in the heart of downtown. It captures the spirit of a historic river town on the St. Croix, where locals gather at the Watershed Cafe and watch the trains roll by the 1916 Soo Line Depot.
