It’s become an end of summer tradition for Known Only Locally to take the stage as the last performance of the Mississippi Music on the Bemidji Waterfront weekly concert series. Tonight is the night.

That sound has long been part of the fabric of Northern Community Radio and the current iteration of the band, a mix of original and new members, stopped by the KBXE studio to share some history and some music.
