Concerts taking place Nov. 1-4, 2024 in Northern Minnesota.

KAXE's weekly list of concerts near you features David Huckfelt & Annie Humphrey, Nathan Griner, Time Warp and Pedro the Lion.

This week's Setlist has everything from a traveling arts collective to a new Grand Rapids dance band inspired by Ethiopian jazz, and we'll also look to early next week for an acclaimed indie singer visiting Duluth.


Fire in the Village is a new arts collective led by Annie Humphrey, David Huckfelt and Shanai Matteson. They are embarking on a Fall Tour with a goal of using art to inspire connections throughout Northern Minnesota. Each of their events will feature music, printmaking, fashion, storytelling and more. This weekend they will be in Grand Rapids on Friday, 8 p.m. at Rapids Brewing, and in Bemidji on Saturday, 7 p.m. at the Chief Theater.

Malachy started his radio career 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 Centerstage Minnesota, an all Minnesota music show airing Fridays at 2pm.
