KFAI's MinneCulture Presents

Music and the Human Experience from The Nerve Music is found in every culture worldwide. It's our constant companion, from birth through childhood , love, marriage, and death. It has a starring role on every stage of the great human drama - whether we are at war or at prayer, by ourselves or with others, happy or sad - music is there. But does it really have a purpose? Where does it come from ? And why does it have such power over our hearts and minds? In this episode brought to us by the CBC , we are taking a look at the how and why of music.

Live from Minnesota: Koerner & Glover by MinneCulture West Bank music legends “Spider” John Koerner and Tony “Little Sun” Glover have been jamming together and playing clubs or parties since the early ‘60s. Their raucous enthusiasm during the folk boom garnered them national attention and fame . We find them here performing at the Mill City Museum as part of their outdoor summer concert series in July of 2010. Produced by Dick Rees and Nancy Sartor for KFAI. Live from Minnesota: Mary Cutrufello  by MinneCulture St. Paul-based roots-rock singer-songwriter Mary Cutrufello has become a mainstay on the national Americana scene. Hailed as "a fierce guitarist with a blistered-throat voice," Cutrufello mixes original songs and classics of American music into a captivating, heartland-proud musical stew both timeless and immediate. Recorded at the Amsterdam Bar and Hall in 2012 by Daniel Zamzow.
