Concerts happening Oct. 9-12, 2024 in Northern Minnesota.

KAXE's weekly list of concerts features Wussow's One Week Live Festival, Mark Joseph, The Brothers Burn Mountain and MorningBird.

The 22nd edition of One Week Live is taking place at Wussow's Concert Cafe in Duluth through Saturday. A great showcase of the Twin Ports and Northeastern Minnesota music scene, the live recordings from the event will make up the next One Week Live compilation. Multiple bands perform each night, and this year's lineup includes Minor Moon, Urban Hillbilly Quartet and The Penny Peaches.

The Big Wu guitarist Mark Joseph is playing The Ore House in Gilbert this Thursday at 7 p.m. He released his fourth solo album Palisade Peach last year, showcasing his rootsy mix of rock, Americana, blues and funk.

In Bemidji, The Brothers Burn Mountain are playing at Bemidji Brewing on Saturday at 7 p.m. Real-life brothers Ryan and Jesse Dermody have a one-of-a-kind show featuring extended blues jams and drum solos. You'll be surprised two people can create that much noise.

Events in Northern Minnesota this week include theater productions in Grand Rapids, Virginia and Puposky, plus a local growers and crafters market in Pine River.

Lastly, MorningBird will be at Sampaguita in Aitkin also on Saturday at 7 p.m. Recently returning to a duo of Jill Burkes (violin/vocals) and Rob Wheeler (guitar/vocals), they play a mix of original and traditional folk music.

Malachy started his radio career in 2017 at a college radio station, where he played weird music in the middle of the night to possibly no one. On a good night maybe his parents were listening. Nonetheless, he was hooked on public radio and is still doing it today.


He joined Northern Community Radio in 2022, where he gets to share his passion for local music as Producer of Minnesota Mixtape, an all Minnesota music show airing Fridays at 10 a.m. and Saturdays at 3 p.m. You can also find him hosting Headwaters and curating The Setlist.
