Today is the first day of the Member Drive, so don’t forget to donate to support The Current! If you’ve been listening for a while, and haven’t donated yet, then now is the perfect time! Today is New Member Monday, and to celebrate, ALL donations will be MATCHED by the MPR Member Fund! That means your gift has DOUBLE the impact for the music you love! :D

The start of the Member Drive reminds us how much we listen to this station and how many different artists we’ve discovered here that have become our favorites … and there are A LOT! From Jade Bird and Leon Bridges to Bad Bad Hats and Hippo Campus (and more!), let’s put together a playlist of bands and artists that you’ve discovered by listening to The Current.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from artists you found on The Current would you like to hear?
