Mark the beginning of another glorious Minnesota
summer at Rock the Garden, the outdoor music
festival co-presented by Walker Art Center and
89.3 The Current®. Rock The Garden sold out to
members of MPR and the Walker, but if you didn’t
get tickets you can still join in on the best night
of the summer. We’ll be giving away tickets and
streaming the event live, plus posting updates
and tweets of all the action. Get all the details at
thecurrent.org.
FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 6 – 10 A.M.
THE CURRENT’S MORNING SHOW LIVE BROADCAST FROM
LONGFELLOW GRILL
Steve Seel and Jill Riley take the show on the road to Longfellow Grill in South Minneapolis. Stop by to
listen to the broadcast, watch radio be made, and eat a hearty breakfast while you’re at it. More details
at thecurrent.org.
FRIDAYS, JUNE 7 AND 14, 8 P.M.
WITS LIVE SEASON’S BIG FINISH
The live season of Wits at the Fitzgerald Theater comes to
a close in June, with appearances by Hannibal Buress and
Open Mike Eagle on June 7 (with special guest P.O.S.) and
David Koechner and Metric on June 14. If you

hosted by John Moe, you can listen to Wits
every Saturday night on MPR News at 8 p.m.,
