A Prairie Home Companion for September 26, 2015
Description
This week: we're live from the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota as the leaves begin to adorn the horizon with majesty. Mandolinist, singer, and songwriter Sierra Hull is up from Nashville for a fresh take on bluegrass; singer Heather Masse joins us from New York with September songs and duets with the host; the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, will thrill your mind's eye; and pianist and music director Rich Dworsky and The Exchange Street Band (Jonathan Dresel on drums, bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and guitarist Chris Siebold guitar) will knock the rust off your hull. Plus: farmers Justin and Janeen Wolfsteller will drop by to talk about the harvest on his acreage just north of the Twin Cities, and the host will report all the latest happenings in nearby Lake Wobegon. We'll see you on your local public radio station or, if you want to see if we look the way we sound, watch the show live (Saturday, 5pm to 7pm CT) at prairiehome.org!
