About
The American Midwest is one of the largest, and closest, markets for Manitoban artists but many have yet to make the trek south. The Twin Cities area is only a seven-hour drive away while the region’s overall population is roughly twice the size of Canada and encompasses 10 metropolitan areas each with well over a million people. Radio tastemakers David Safar and Jim McQuinn of Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current, along with a host of other Minnesotan music delegates, will join us to explore strategies artists can use to make Minneapolis and St. Paul as a launch pad to tour this thriving market and open other regions in the U.S.
