On January 24, The Current celebrates 16 years on the air. Typically the anniversary is marked with a concert event at First Avenue in Minneapolis, but the pandemic has scuppered any such plans.

In place of being able to gather in person, listen all day on Sunday as Bill DeVille and Mac Wilson feature awesome musical moments from previous anniversary shows. Listen for these highlights each hour.
