Riley Dorau

I have been listening, loving and learning about music for many years. I am happy to be able to expand my knowledge on music through the The Local Note as our magazine highlights current live alternative music in the Twin Cities. Music is constantly evolving and so are artists, so come learn more with us!

Hey there, I’m Lila! I absolutely love all things music, but one thing that really interests me is the crowd dynamics at smaller live shows. That is why I have loved working on this magazine. It has pushed me to move out of my comfort zone and get to know new people. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!

Bianca Llerena

My name is Bianca Llerena and one of my favorite hobbies is experiencing live music. I love the adrenaline of hearing a new song for the first time and with the help of The Local Note, I hope to help others experience that too. Moving to Minneapolis for college has opened up so many opportunities to enjoy the live music scene, with cool venues and house shows.

Theo Franz

My name is Theo Franz and I am a senior at the University of Minnesota. My favorite type of questions to ask people are music-related. I believe knowing what someone listens to is the quickest way to get to know them and the possibility of sharing a common interest can create lifetime friendships. I hope my reporting and experience in the Twin Cities music scene can help you create those strong connections too!
