The gloomy, demon-invoking lead singer of the pioneering band Black Sabbath who became the throaty, growling voice of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne has died.

Night Moves, The Local Show’s July Artist of the Month, shared details about of the new record, performing live, and their musical growth in this exclusive interview with The Current. Their fourth album arrives on Friday, July 25, accompanied by a headlining show at First Avenue on July 26.

The music icon announced his “Got Back 2025” tour on Thursday morning, with 19 shows across the U.S. and Canada — including Oct. 17 in Minneapolis.

Citing increased rent and a desire to retire, the store’s owners say the business will shutter on July 31.

There’s a new voice on weekends, a familiar one moving to evenings, and another veteran of The Current taking over a popular weekend program. 

Listeners will hear him every Saturday and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. as well as filling in at various times throughout the week.  

Singer-songwriter Gigi Perez talked with The Current’s Morning Show’s Nilufer Arsala about her debut album At the Beach, in Every Life, and her upcoming performance at the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival.

The 119-year-old Minneapolis gathering place and music venue Palmer’s Bar announced on social media late Wednesday that its final day of business will be Sept. 14. Palmer’s dates back to 1906.

The singer-songwriter, producer and composer spoke with The Current’s Jill Riley about ‘SABLE, fABLE’ … and so much more.

Over the years, it has hosted live music, sheltered touring bands, and housed countless individuals within the local DIY and punk communities.
