The final Local Show of the year features the best Minnesota songs of 2023. Hear from local artists who are fan favorites on The Current, including rock bands Durry, Semisonic, Gully Boys and Kiss The Tiger, pop singer Ber, and singer/rapper Dessa. Be reminded of those unforgettable songs released by newer artists like songwriter Laamar, KC Rae and dynamic established performers like Mae Simpson and Lady Midnight. From electronica to Americana, indie rock ‘n’ roll to hip-hop, enjoy the vast spectrum of music our Minnesota scene has to offer on The Local Show’s Best Local Songs of 2023. 

We also continue to hype our December artist of the month Semisonic and even play some local holiday music.
