Welcome to the Minnesota Music web site!
The Minnesota Music web site offers show reviews, CD reviews and interviews with Minnesota's local bands and entertainers, as well as offering information about recording studios, production companies, music promotions and booking companies. We also occasionally add CD reviews and interviews with some of our friends from out of state.

she was killed.
Cheri was a common sight in the local music scene and a friend of ours. She was abducted and murdered on October 21, 2002. Click here to see an article about it.
Aidan was Cheri's pride and joy. A fundraiser for Aidan Thompson, Cheri's three-year-old son, is set to take place at Bogart's Place in Apple Valley on November 24th from 5:00p.m. to midnight. Bands slated to appear: Austin Healy, Gemini, Faith Nation, Weird Science, The Choppers and the Killer Hayseeds. All proceeds will go to the Aidan Thompson education fund. Those of you who may be interested in donating money and may be unable to make it to the benefit can donate at any TCF Bank location to the Aidan Thompson Benefit Fund.
For those of you who are interested in receiving updates as they're made to the web site and the Minnesota Music newsletter send an e-mail to E-mail List and we'll add you to the list.
