Featured Artist: John Snell X

Minneapolis' most influential contributions to American popular music began in the 1970s and 1980s, when the city's music scene launched the careers of acclaimed performers like the multi-platinum soul singer Prince, and cult favorites The Replacements and Hüsker Dü. Minneapolis has produced a number of famous performers, such as Bob Dylan, who began his musical career in the Minneapolis area. More recently, the Twin Cities has played a role in the national hip-hop scene with artists such as Atmosphere and P.O.S. Who have taken home several awards at the Minnesota Music Awards. With scores of venues and thousands of active musicians the Minneapolis music scene is as vibrant now as at any time in its cultural musical history.
