| 'Prairie Home Companion's' Keillor performs in March | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| By Chris Page, Get Out | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| February 7, 2008 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The Minnesota radio DJ turned folksy humorist and storyteller — who's also logged time as a writer for The New Yorker and an advice columnist for an online magazine — is heard by over three million listeners on the weekly radio show. "Companion" was made into an eponymous film, directed by Robert Altman, in 2006. The radio show is heard in the Valley on KJZZ-FM (91.5), 5 p.m. Saturdays and rebroadcast 10 a.m. Sundays. The Dodge show, it should be mentioned, is not a live taping of "Companion." Rather, it's "An Evening with Garrison Keillor," a night of storytelling and reading by the Lake Wobegone series author. Though you can count on the sonorous host to provide plenty of humorous insight into the lives of Minnesotans and Lutherans. Tickets, $37.50-$75, go on sale 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 11 at all Ticketmaster outlets or by calling (480) 784-4444. For more information, visit livenation.com. Contact Chris Page by email, or phone (480) 898-5656 |
