For a Wisconsin-bred, Brooklyn-based songwriter, Jm Airis almost feels like part of the Twin Cities music scene. The singer/guitarist signed to Totally Gross National Product — home to Lizzo, Marijuana Deathsquads and more — is a repeat performer at the homegrown label's annual block party, and he's returning tonight to christen his sophomore album, "Wild Birds."
