This playlist is by LPR’s Marketing Director, Dustin Nelson. It’s a mixtape of bands from Minnesota. At one point he was doing a college radio show on local music, and some of this dates back to some favorites that we played on the air, mixed in with some newer tracks. Not everything was actually available on YouTube or Spotify, but we’ve found makeshift fixes and made the playlist happen. You can get the playlist (or what’s available from the playlist) on Spotify.
