By: Kyle Matteson Republished with Permission It’s no question that seeing concerts at the Minnesota Zoo’s Weesner Amphitheater is one of the more intimate outdoor places to see shows in Minnesota in the summer, and clearly it’s been a hit as they celebrate their 20th season this year.

by: Brittany Ranck Three amazing bands played at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Saturday night. To start the night off you had Zoo Animal. This band is a wonderful trio featuring Holly Newsom as their lead singer, who kills on vocals every time she opens her mouth. Their music is soul wrenching. You [...]

A letter from Music Coordinator Stacy Schwartz (aka Staciaann): Hello friends & supporters – Last September I wrote to tell you the sad news that the Stone Arch Festival of the Arts was dissolving. It was something that is dear to my heart and I have really enjoyed the opportunity to promote local music in [...]

This year the First Avenue mainroom turned out to be no match for just one night of Current supporters. So the station hosted two nights instead, hopefully allowing more fans in to celebrate their seventh year in existence. Night two was the better of the two nights (in my humble opinion), showcasing MN artists Haley [...]
