About TCMA

Twin Cities Music Archive (TCMA) is a growing collection of live recordings from Minneapolis–Saint Paul and beyond.

Built from decades of tapes, transfers, and contributions from tapers and collectors, TCMA exists to keep these performances alive — not buried on shelves or lost to time.

Every recording here is part of a larger story: the rooms, the bands, the people who were there, and the ones who hit record.

This is an ongoing archive. More shows are being added all the time.


TCMA is curated by Dan Lang, a longtime live music taper, collector, and fan.
