Tomorrow is a big day for local music at the MN State Fair for MN Music on a Stick. Jill and Steve will host the pre-party at the fair live on air from noon - 3pm with Bob Mould, Brother Ali, and Har Mar Superstar stopping by for a quick hello. As we gear up for the show we thought we'd play songs from artists playing at the show to start the pre-pre-party.

What songs from our MN Music on a Stick bands (Cactus Blossoms, Bob Mould, Cloud Cult, Har Mar Superstar, Doomtree, Brother Ali) should we play this morning?

Congrats to our Coffee Break on the Road winner, Erin, from Droolin' Moose. We'll be stopping by her workplace with treats and coffee from Gigi's Cafe and live music from local band Hippo Campus. Erin's winning entry:

Here's my hat, can you throw it in the ring for the Droolin' Moose? We'd love a visit from The Current's Morning Show (plus coffee and treats from Gigi's!). Droolin' Moose in Bloomington even has a space at the store we call the Creative Lounge for Hippo Campus to play :)
I love The Current. I'm a member and an avid listener. It's the only station I listen to. I was at Rock the Garden this year on Saturday and took my Dad. We were VIP and he couldn't stop talking about it to all his friends for a week after!
