We are playing the The Great Minnesota Get Together!

Posted by Manager Monday, August 15, 2011

We are going to see how many people we can draw into the area of The Heritage Square Stage and then we’re going to see if we can keep them there using music… and beer. This will take all our powers and accumulated years of experience. And YOU CAN HELP! Come down and act interested and more people will stay and watch us. This could be the moment where we “get over” in the state in a larger way and suddenly shows out-state become more common.

We’re planning a few special treats. A number of songs that we hardly ever play will be played. Some songs that we’ve NEVER played will be played. And you can check it all out while munching Pronto-Pups, sucking down an ice cold beverage, so doing what I like to do, eating a nice honey sundae from the honey stand at the horticulture building.

Buy The Current Sampler

Posted by John Sunday, January 23, 2011

Hey Fans of The Twilight Hours and local (Twin Cities) music,
I want to encourage you to buy The Current’s Music Sampler. The tracks are all performed live, it’s a quite diverse collection, and well worth your five (or more!) dollars.

“But, John,” you say, “isn’t it weird to come out shilling for a radio station’s sampler?” And yes, I’ll admit that that’s a little strange, but we have a version of “Dreams” on the disc which may actually be better than the one on Stereo Night. It is missing Steve Roehm, but the lack of drums and drive makes the song even dreamier, in my opinion. It also features the “La La” section which is really harmonious and cool.

In addition there are tracks by many of your Twin Cities favorites. So go here and sample the tracks and after you decide you love it, buy it. The station has even developed a profit sharing scheme with the artists participating, which is pretty darn cool of them. Feels a little like a musicians co-op! So donate with wild abandon.

Lake Harriet Performance Is 100% ON!

Posted by Manager Friday, September 10, 2010

The weather gods seems to be smiling upon us. You (and we) will have perfect weather to listen to (and play) music on the banks of Lake Harriet! Later, we will snuggle under blankets and watch Umbrellas of Cherbourg and if we’re with our special one, perhaps we’ll steal a kiss or two as our hearts are breaking.
