We specialize in independent music from independent bands and independent musicians - not only those from Ely and the Iron Range of Minnesota, but across the country and the world. We believe the best music available is ignored by the major record labels, so we fully support those independent musicians who believe in themselves and their music. Music Outfitters® now has a streaming radio station featuring songs from our catalog of independent musicians, bands and artists. Check it out on on independent music page!
