The Current Rewind

by Minnesota Public Radio
29

In The Current Rewind’s second season, we’re tracing the 50-year history of Minneapolis club First Avenue, using 10 pivotal dates to explore how a city, a scene, and popular music have evolved since the dawn of the ’70s. The Current’s Cecilia Johnson and Mark Wheat — along with special guest hosts like Craig Finn, Jay Smooth, and Sun Yung Shin — will meet you at the barricades for opening night, drop in on life-changing shows, and take an inside look at the present-day #SaveOurStages campaign.

    Great for music and history buffs
    If the latest episode of this new podcast- the one about the Andrews Sisters - is any indication, then this is going to be one of my favorites! Well written and researched, with fascinating interviews and great subject matter. And it's only three episodes in at the time of this review! Do yourself a favor and tune in! 💕
