MINNEAPOLIS — One Minnesota band, Yam Haus, is representing the Land of 10,000 Lakes on NBC's newest music competition, "American Song Contest," which pits bands representing every state and territory in the nation against each other to find America's top band.
During KARE 11 Saturday, the Minnesota quartet played "Ready to Go," which is their leading song for the "American Song Contest."
The Minneapolis-based band is made up of Lawrence Pruitt, who lives in Stillwater, Jacob Felstow and Zach Beinlich, who both live in St. Paul, and Seth Blum of Hudson, Wisc.
