How it all started...
Dave Engstrom grew up in Wahpeton, ND playing guitar and loving music. After high school, he pursued a degree in medicine and enjoyed a successful career in the medical field. Dave moved back to Wahpeton after retirement and spent much of his time playing music. He loved listening to and playing with local musicians. Dave also loved supporting others in their musical journeys and connecting new musicians with the musical community in the Wahpeton/Breckenridge area. He embodied the belief of human connectedness and always found a way to bring people together around shared goals.
One of these goals was to create a local music festival. In 2020, with the help of many friends and family members, this goal became a reality and was named Headwaters Music Festival. Headwaters Music Festival was built based on the following hopes and dreams:
