Videos of my favorite local Twin Cities Minnesota bands through the last 47 years.
These are the local shows that I went to in the Twin Cities area starting from Lamont Cranston in 1973 at the Cabooze until now. These are my favorite local bands and artists, some of which I have a personal relationship with as noted. (My list of world famous band concerts is here wjepson.com/Concerts)
Have fun rockin and reminiscing!
