In today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack takes us back to the late 1990’s music scene in St. Cloud with a visit to the Java Joint.
Long before the social media connectivity of today, musical acts were promoted and booked through a different kind of system. A system that consisted of personal contact, word of mouth, and lots of hard work.
Long time KVSC’s Undercurrents host Xakk Asphodel found himself in the center of that system back in the late 90’s as the Java Joint’s primary booking agent, and his story of what happened during those whirlwind years highlights the nature and power of what an “All-ages” venue can accomplish.

Broadcast in front of a live studio audience from the Helgeson Learning Lab Theater on Saturday, November 2, 2019, Sherlock Holmes and the Curious Case of Professor Moriarty takes the KVSC listener to the nighttime streets of 19th Century London just as the world is about to change forever.
But who will be the guiding hand of this change? A malicious shadow is tightening its grip on the future, and only Sherlock Holmes can stop it once he puts together all the clues!
The play is Jeff Carmack’s reinvigoration of Orson Welles’s own adaptation for radio of William Gillette’s enduring melodrama based on the famous stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and contains more subtle references than a Holmes’ monologue . . . can YOU find the references to “hot dish” and KVSC Trivia?
