Rory Hoffman Concert Rory Hoffman is a Nashville based multi-instrumentalist, raised right here in Lemmon, South Dakota.Since leaving Lemmon, he has played the Grand Ole Opry numerous times, as a soloist and as a sideman with Ricky Skaggs, Kathy Mattea and John Cowan.

In a few months, Rory and Alex Miexner, a polka prodigy, will be on tour heading to the old stomping grounds of the Dakotas. Concert goers will have polka music pumping through their veins, when this duo brings their very talented and eccentric sounds to town.

Rory was excited to find out that his tour would just so happen to work out to make Lemmon, one of the stops, on his 12 show tour.

We are lucky to have such talented artists of all types claim Lemmon as their home town, and we want to welcome any time they want to share their music talents.
