In the Studio for Sunday, March 27, 2011

SxSW is over and the snow is still here. So, while April might not mean Spring has sprung for Minnesota, it does mean that a whole lot of bands are going to be coming through on tour.

It's going to be getting pretty busy around the Current studio for the next few months, so I'm going to try and pull out the best of the bunch to play for you every week. This week fresh from playing (and rocking out a church) at SxSW was Rural Alberta Advantage. This band has been in town just about every year and each time they play a bigger and bigger venue. This time in town the played a sold out show at First Ave. Nils Edenloff, the lead singer of the band, couldn't believe that they had actually sold out the show and Amy, keyboardist and backing vocals, admitted that she listened to The Current when they were on the road.

In fact, that's how they found the opener for their show, James Vicent McMorrow. The Irish singer-songwriter who reminded me a lot of Bon Iver, stopped by the Current studios as well to tell Mark Wheat all about making the record in a one bedroom house by the sea.
