We're looking forward to broadcasting live from the Minnesota State Fair tomorrow 3-7 pm, which a special performance from singer/songwriter JD McPherson.

Stop by tomorrow to see a visit from Phantogram, live music trivia with Sean McPherson, a conversation with anonymous yarnbomber Knitteapolis, a live performance from JD McPherson, and if you arrive at around 5 pm, you can try a bunch of food samples including Double Dose Pork Belly, Honey Puffs, Memphis Tachos, Swine & Spuds, and Pie in the Sky Malts.

In honor of JD, what musicians do you want to hear for today's Coffee Break who go by their initials?
