The Morning Show's August Coffee Break on the Road took them to Audubon Minnesota with local musician Mark Mallman.

Let's put together a playlist of songs for Veterans Day. What do you think we should play to honor those who have served our country.

Bae Tigre: Memoir of a Happy Drifting Chemical One of the most pleasant surprises coming out of the Twin Cities this year is Bae Tigre, a self-described “electro-Indie-gurl” with a fresh sound. Her debut full-length, Memoir of a Happy Drifting Chemical, is Polkadot Mayhem‘s newest release. The track “Now or Never” has a hook like…

By the end of this weekend, nearly 200,000 Twin Cities music fans will have attended one of the 11 shows performed by Garth Brooks—an artist whose last major hit came out 15 years ago.

Currently on a North American headlining tour, the band stopped at Myth on Saturday, Nov. 8. By the time 8 p.m. rolled around, the crowd was getting antsy. Young Rising Sons opened the show with…
