Episode 166
This week, Aaron and Brent each pick out music from two different bands with Minnesota roots.
Formed in 2020 while quarantined at their parent’s suburban home in Burnsville, Aaron picks out three tracks from the brother-sister duo Durry.
Featuring two members of the beloved Minneapolis/Boston band Lifter Puller, Brent highlights three songs from Brooklyn’s The Hold Steady.
