The Current, Carbon Sound, and Radio Heartland are excited to present Minnesota Music Month this April. We’ll celebrate on air, online, and with four shows in St. Paul, all featuring local music performances to celebrate our thriving Minnesota music community.
In a 2019 proclamation, Gov. Walz named April as Minnesota Music Month. Minnesota Music Month recognizes the deep influence of its artists and their contributions to foster understanding of one another through music. The month is a chance to honor the creativity, energy, and rich history of Minnesota’s music scene.
The full schedule of The Current’s St. Paul events for Minnesota Music Month is below — plus a handful of great events around Minnesota featuring local musicians throughout April.
We have just revealed the results of the Minnesota Music Month Scouting Report right here.
