Twin Cities Music Highlights

Please note: Twin Cities Music Highlights is getting a refreshed look and feel. During this time, you may not be able to access parts of the site. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me @ [email protected]

Hello and welcome to Twin Cities Music Highlights! This is my effort to gather information about live popular music in Minneapolis and St. Paul from the beginning of time up to and including 1974, with an emphasis on connections to St. Louis Park, my hometown. I invite all additions, corrections, and especially personal stories, so feel free to contact me!

I’m always working on this site, so please come back often! I have thousands of ads and articles to work with and post, so you never know what you’ll find.

Feel free to browse – this is a great time killer! If you’re looking for something in particular, you can use the menu buttons above, the Table of Contents below, or best yet, the search function, which is the tiny little spyglass in the upper right-hand corner.

Thanks for visiting!

PHOTOS

Most of the photos on this site have been taken from the Internet (specifically Facebook) and I have made every effort to give the source. If I have swiped your photo without permission or attribution, please let me know. I have lots more to add, so stay tuned!

ARTISTS: Please note that I do NOT list local bands because there are just hundreds of them. The best source on local bands is minniepaulmusic.com, which has loads of info, pictures, posters, and interviews. Another web site is Garage Hangover (14 Minnesota bands). There are a few exceptions, however, some to do with bands from St. Louis Park.
