This week on Radio Heartland on The Current, we’ll feature a live performance in our studio and an interview with Erik Koskinen and his band. They’re celebrating the release of “Down Street/Love Avenue” with regular Wednesday night gigs at Icehouse in April. We’ll also play some tunes from Maygen and the Birdwatcher and Kelley Smith who are playing at our first MN Music Month celebration later this week at the Turf Club. And, we’ll celebrate the birthday of guitar pioneer Etta Baker too.
