We are entering a magical weekend of music in Minnesota. There are festivals galore happening in the Twin Cities and beyond. There’s TC Summer Fest at Target Field, Lumberjack Days in Stillwater, the Lutsong Music Festival in Lutsen, the Rhythm of River Festival in Jackson, and Riversong in Hutchinson. (Meghan Kreidler of Kiss the Tiger, pictured above, is playing a couple of them!)

To get hyped for all of this activity, let’s play music from the visiting acts and local acts alike who are gracing festival stages in the next couple of days.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs by bands performing this weekend at music festivals in Minnesota do you want to hear?
