As a Minot, North Dakota native, actor Josh Duhamel is no stranger to Minnesota. His father lives in the state and he's purchased a cabin within the state.  That's why is not too surprising to see him at Minnesota sporting events and other places.

Those strong Minnesota ties are also what probably led Josh to hire a popular Minnesota artist when he recently got married. When it came to choosing a band to play as part of the celebration, he choose Chris Hawkey.

Chris Hawkey is a country music artist who was a member of the Minneapolis band Rocket Club and is the vocalist of the Chris Hawkey Band. He also co-hosts the sports-based Power Trip Morning Show on KFAN, which is based in Minneapolis and can be heard throughout the region.
