A super fun United States of Americana is coming up this Sunday — and it's LIVE from the Minnesota State Fair! Bill DeVille will spin a bunch of songs that pertain to the fair, from artists like Bob Dylan, the Band, Southern Culture on the Skids, and Tom Waits. We'll also enjoy the usual serving of new music from artists like Cassandra Lewis and The Cactus Blossoms — and from Maggie Rose, who'll be dropping by The Current booth at 11 a.m. to chat and to play a few songs.
