Tonight we'll be celebrating 9 years on the air. We're beyond excited to kick off our 9th year with a party a First Avenue tonight and tomorrow night. And, we're looking forward to celebrating with you either in person or over the airwaves for our live broadcast of the concert.

To help get everyone ready for the celebration let's put together a playlist of songs with the number "9" (or word "nine") featured in the title or very prominently in the lyrics. Let's get this party started!

We could bring a party to you on Jan. 31. We'll be grabbing treats from JJ's Coffee and Wine Bistro and joining musician Charlie Parr and heading to an office somewhere in the Twin Cities. If you want us to visit you email: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org
