The Current (89.3 KCMP) is Minnesota Public Radio's music service, launched in 2005 from Northfield and the Twin Cities and now a national tastemaker. Its adult album alternative format mixes indie rock, Americana, folk and new discoveries with a deep commitment to Minnesota artists — the station that championed the local scene as fiercely as any in America. Hosts, in-studio sessions and listener support keep its hand-picked sound proudly non-commercial.
