Nicholas David: Live at Dakota

Nicholas David’s albums sound fantastic. He sounds great on TV. However, nothing compares to the magic, the excitement, the immediacy of seeing him live! He returns with his signature brand of soul-stirring rock music to record a new album.

The St. Paul singer/songwriter has been making music from the heart, for the heart for nearly thirty years. Like the mighty Mississippi River, David’s musical journey rocks n’ rolls like a cosmic current. Here, his music has taken him from coast to coast and across the pond.

Tune Town

Anyone nostalgic for the '90s would appreciate where Tune Town owner Carl Nordmeier worked before opening his own record store in Faribault: the CD-saturated music section at Target. After competing (and unfortunately losing) in an MTV contest that would have backed his own business, Nordmeier saved enough money up for the shop he'd eventually move to Mankato.

South Metro Music

What We Offer: New releases, used releases ranging from bargain bin to rare pressings, new and used stereo equipment, and local artists' work featured in the store!
