Joining the Cult
Cloud Cult founder Craig Minowa performs at Bozeman’s Filling Station in May, 2008.
When Craig Minowa’s son died suddenly in the night at the age of 2, Minowa’s world must have come to a crashing halt. What came out of that tragic death is his divulgement, an 18-song eulogy titled “The Meaning of 8.”
Founder, singer, songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist of Cloud Cult, Minowa became a recluse on his organic farm in Northern Minnesota, writing more than 100 songs in an effort to deal with the loss that occurred in 2002.
