Heraclitus once said a man can’t stand in the same river twice because it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man. Change is constant. That’s why it’s the subject of our fall theme show.

Host Aaron Brown explored change in a new monologue about Modern Life in Northern Minnesota.

He played with our house band, Katie Houg and the Track Stars, including Houg on keyboards and vocals, Corey Medina on guitar and vocals, D.C. on bass, and Eric Sundeen on drums.
