The end of a year is a time to celebrate the best new music that hit our ears in the past 12 months — and also to remember the remarkable lives and storied careers of people on the music scene who passed on. For the Honey Do list this Saturday, Dec. 28 on The Current, Bill DeVille and Mac Wilson will be playing music by some of the artists we lost this year. Here are some people we're thinking of as the calendar closes on 2019, a group of artists and music supporters who gave us so much.

Minnesota

Singer-songwriter-pianist-producer Willie Murphy, whose Willie and the Bees were a hub of the diverse and vibrant West Bank scene in Minneapolis.

William "Hollywood" Doughty, a lifelong musician best known as a member of Prince's high school band Grand Central.

Singer-songwriter Tucker Jensen of Dirt Train, "a five-piece Americana Rock & Roll band greasy enough to spread on toast."

Musician and sound professional Trevor Engelbrektson of Southside Desire, lost in a tragic Arizona highway crash that also claimed both members of the British band Her's.

Blues-folk master Tony Glover, a local legend who mentored Dylan, showed Jagger some licks, and played on one of the most important albums of the folk revival.

Duluth music advocate Rick Boo, who helped launch the Homegrown Music Festival and revitalize the NorShor Theatre.

Singer-songwriter and studio owner Ed Ackerson, a prolific artist in his own right who also helped generations of Minneapolis musicians to shine.

Archivist Terry Katzman, whose tireless work preserved priceless recordings of bands like Hüsker Dü and the Replacements.

Soul legend Wee Willie Walker, part of the generation that showed Prince and his peers how to throw down.
