Back in January, KRFF Radio Free Fargo was going to have a benefit concert featuring the metal band Witchden from Minneapolis. Fargo got hit with a massive blizzard that just so happened the weekend of the concert. However, as the old adage goes, “Better late than never.” The parties involved were able to book a new time at the Aquarium and Witchden and the rest of the lineup will still have the opportunity to return to the area for the first time in almost a year for some long…

Deb Jenkins returns for a 23rd year of celebrating Fargo’s Women- and their music. The story is old news now, Deb tells me over the phone as I ask her- how did this start? 23 years ago, she was working at a little cafe in downtown fargo and she asked if she could bring in some musicians. Obviously, Fargo delivered. There are so many women making great music and producing art-- the next step was bringing them all together. This was the same time…

Fargo is smack dab in the dead of winter, with two major blizzards already under its belt this season and frigid temperatures that show no sign of abating in the near future. Whether by choice or by necessity many people have remained cooped up in their homes rather than venture out into the cold. What better way, then, for the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra to lure people out than with the third concert of the 2019-2020 season, “Cold Weather, Hot Music?”
The next installment in…

When written from the heart, music takes on a different life. The listener can relate whether directly with the story being told or the emotion being expelled. David Allen is one of those musicians who pours his heart out in every song. He has a talent for portraying an experience in life and the exact way you would expect it to feel through his guitar. His music is simple, but layered in a manner that gives it a depth…

A venue that Diane Miller describes as “a place that means a lot to me, and has always meant a lot to me,” the HoDo Lounge in the Hotel Donaldson, will be the venue for a concert by Diane Miller and her mother, Emy Miller, on December 19. The concert begins at 8 pm, but Diane believes it will be a full house, so she recommends to “come out early for a seat!”
If you have ever heard either Diane or Emy, and especially if you have heard them sing together, you know that this will…

Dropping tomorrow via Listenable Records, On The Rise, is a bluesy rock collection by the Spanish quintet Imperial Rise. With praises across Europe, we would like to add in a bit of positivity from America as well.
The album has a fun 70’s throwback vibe mixed with influences of the band’s Spanish roots, that makes you want to move! This band’s sound has always been “classic” inspired, but they changed it up with On The Rise by…

As the lights came up after Slayer’s final song during their November 17 set for their FInal Campaign tour at the Fargodome, Minneapolis based photographer Paul Allen turned to me and said. “It’s really sad that this is their final tour, I’ve spent the last 20 years going to Slayer shows. I think this means I have to grow up.” A gentleman seated a row down from us shared his sentiments. As lead singer Tom Araya made his way back on stage to face the crowd he approached the mic…
