Ber Plays Songs From 'Good, Like It Should Be' Live at MPR

Why It Matters

The appearance reinforces how local radio, venues and collaborators can accelerate an emerging artist’s career and provides momentum for Ber’s debut record rollout, boosting her visibility nationally. It also signals Minneapolis’s continued role as an incubator for breakout talent.

Summary

Indie singer-songwriter Ber performed songs from her new record Good, Like It Should Be live at MPR’s The Current, mixing stripped-down acoustic sets with crowd-ready moments. She reflected on moving to Minneapolis with little money, crediting The Current and the city’s venues—including First Avenue—for catalyzing her rise from Best New Bands recognition to headlining the Mainroom. Ber also highlighted collaborators Brad and Austin Ward, recounted her first headline in L.A., and affectionately name-checked local hangout Bulls Horn as a creative hub during the album’s making. The set and interview underscored the personal and communal threads behind the record’s songs.

As part of Minnesota Music Month, singer-songwriter Ber — aka Berit Dybing, originally from Bemidji, Minnesota — participated in a live taping of The Local Show recorded in the Forum at Minnesota Public Radio. Ber's debut full-length album, 'Good, Like It Should Be,' released on April 3, 2026, just days before this recording session. On The Local Show, Ber performed solo versions of three songs off the new album before sitting down for a chat with The Local Show host, Diane.

"I moved [to Minneapolis] when I had literally nothing," Ber tells Diane, "and The Current started spinning my tunes, and it's fully the reason why I'm doing this today. ... I very much don't take this for granted."
