Week of June 6, 2025 - wsg Joe Beyer, Freelance Writer

Summer means lots of live music, and on this week's "Currently," Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) welcome Joe Beyer, freelance writer, to kick things off with his full guide to our region's summer concert season—from big names at Interlochen to intimate local venues like Iron Fish, SummerSounds, and the Alluvion. This episode is brought to you by lead underwriter Golden-Fowler Home Furnishings: Home Fashion Elevated, located on S. Garfield Avenue in Traverse City. Support also comes from West Shore Bank – committed to the well-being of the community, and The Coin Slot Arcade Bar – a chill hangout in Traverse City featuring a full bar, pinball machines, and a great selection of drinks. Beth then takes us inside the latest developments at the Cherryland Center, where a new trampoline park is bouncing into the former Macy's space. Plus: what the space won't become, and what it signals for the future of the site. We also cover City Commission updates, including key decisions and priorities heading into the summer. Currently is a Compass Local Podcast, produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
