Over the years, many of the artists and bands Cities 97 has introduced to the Twin Cities have made their way into our studios to perform live on the air. There've been more than 1,000 live performances over the last 23 years and each appearance is a chance to become a little more acquainted with Cities 97 artists. We follow the careers of our bands from start to finish, and in turn they feel comfortable enough to drop by when they're in town and play a tune or two for our listeners.
Ingrid Michaelson - 'Ghost' (Live in Cities 97 Studio C) - February 13th, 2012
"You're always asked to talk about your record and talk about the recording process and it just seemed so embarrassing to me because 'here I am, another musician, I'm making a record, I'm important, listen to me.' It just seemed so pretentious and I thought it would be funny if a sock-puppet talked about the record."
- Ingrid Michaelson on her decision to use a sock-puppet to promote her new record 'Human Again'
