Every episode of the CPL Poker Podcast includes at least one “Minnesota Music Segment” where we give a little love to the local music scene.  If you’re a poker player you’ll often be listening to an Ipod so we give you some solid local music to load onto that .mp3 player.

At the end of each year – what’s become our Christmas present to you – we put together our annual “Best of MN Music”.  It is, probably, our own favorite and most anticipated episode of the year.

For your listening pleasure – here are some of our “Best of Music” episodes:

2014 – The best of 2014 – Episode 171, posted on 12/25/2014, sees Rani and Alison Scott return to the top ten.  It also includes an artist that auditioned for NBC’s “The Voice”.  Were one them the top song?  Take a listen!

2013 – Posted 12/24/2013, Episode 158 includes “The Voice” contestant Mark Andrew (eliminated in the Battle Rounds) and one of the CPL’s favorite MN artists, Courtney Yasmineh.  How did they do?

2012 – Episode 139 brings us the top 10 songs played in 2012.  This year’s best song were a particularly eclectic mix with Cwn Annwn, Elizabeth Langham, iKE, and The Langers Ball among others.  Published Christmas Day, 2012.

2010 – A New Year’s gift, Episode 99 came out on 12/28/2010.  It was preceded with our announcing and playing White Light Riot in the #11 spot during Episode 98.

We hope you enjoy the music as much as we do!
