Whether or not things are looking up on the field, at least you'll still be able to look up and see some great Minnesota bands performing over the field at Twins games this year thanks to the third annual Midwest Music Showcase. Pohlad-owned station Go 96.3 FM co-curated this year's series and announced the performers today, with highlights including next week's kick-off set by pop-punk vets the Magnolias, plus Charlie Parr, the Flamin' Oh's, Vaski, the White Iron Band and Black Diet.
The shows take place at every Wednesday home game through Sept. 23. Each act plays a short set before the game on a veranda overlooking left field, and then they slide in songs here and there between innings. Click here for our feature on the series from 2013. Here's the full schedule:
