Despite frigid temps in the single digits, Semisonic and Chastity Brown teamed up to play two sold-out First Avenue shows celebrating the Current’s 18th anniversary this past weekend.

Joe Rainey performs debut album ‘Niineta’ at Cedar Cultural Center on Thursday, January 26, 2023.

Raffaella, Obi Original, Mike Kota, killusonline, Harlow, Creeping Charlie, and Brotherhood of Birds played First Avenue’s mainroom on January 20, 2023 at the annual showcase of local talent.

Night Moves, Charlie Parr, Early Eyes, Mae Simpson, FénixDion, and Lanue performed at the ski hangout Papa Charlie’s in Lutsen, Minn., for GNDWIRE Records’ sixth annual Ski Party on Friday, Jan. 6, and Saturday, Jan. 7.

The English band’s At Their Very Best tour stop in Minneapolis was The Current’s Winter Warmup show. Local indie-rock artist Miloe was the opening act.

An irrepressible global pop star and political provocateur, Bad Bunny collects streaming accolades with ease, but refuses to temper his idiosyncrasies or move to U.S. pop's center.

The indie rock legends celebrated the 25th anniversary of ‘The Lonesome Crowded West’ with a performance of the entire album.

For the Minneapolis stop of his Man From Waco tour, Charley Crockett rewarded diehard fans — who trudged through more than seven inches of fresh snow to get to First Avenue — with a spectacular 30-song set. 

The genre-spanning performance kept the Minneapolis audience on their toes all night long.

Saturday night’s show in Minneapolis featured songs from the band’s latest, ‘Alpenglow,’ as well as an opening performance by Charlie Parr. Low’s Alan Sparhawk made a surprise appearance to perform “When I Go Deaf.”
