A Prairie Home Companion: Hit The Ground Running
This week, our host is back at the helm, fresh from burning off a few vacation days he’d built up over 40 years, for a live broadcast from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul with special guests, sizzling vocalist and songwriter Aoife O’Donovan, singer and fiddler Emily Miller, and old-time juke-joint band the Steel City Jug Slammers. Plus, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman; our pianist and music directorRich Dworsky with The Exchange Street Quartet (drummer Bernie Dresel, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and Chris Siebold on guitar); and an update on the last few weeks worth of News from Lake Wobegon.
Tune in on your local public radio station or watch live (5pm – 7pm Central Time) at prairiehome.org!
