Filmed at the legendary 7th St Entry, where so many local artists have launched their careers, each episode of "Stage" brings two acts together for a one-of-a-kind collaboration. This season's lineup features an exciting mix of established and emerging talent:

"'Stage' is a testament to the incredible talent in our community and the deep connections forged through music," said Kate McDonald, the show's Producer. "This season, we're excited to introduce audiences to new voices while celebrating the established artists who continue to shape Minnesota's music landscape."
Last season, "Stage" was honored with a Gracie Award by the Alliance for Women in Media, an annual awards program honors and celebrates a diverse mix of media made by, for and about women. This year, TPT has teamed up with The Current to bring the propulsive blend of storytelling and performance featured in "Stage" to a wider audience of local music lovers, releasing in April to coincide with Minnesota Music Month.
