This week on The Local Show, David Campbell chats with Local Current blog curator Andrea Swensson about new stories including an interview with The Set and a very special discussion with Conrad Sverkerson, the man who ensures operations at First Avenue run smoothly. She'll talk with him about his history with the venue and some of his favorite local musicians.


In the 7 p.m. hour, Now, Now (formerly Now, Now Every Children) stops by for their debut session on the station in celebration of forthcoming second album Threads.


There's also new music in the mix from Brother Ali, Vague-a-Bonde, Jim and the French Vanilla, The NPC's and much more.
