DENVER — "A Prairie Home Companion American Revival" is coming to Colorado.
"A Prairie Home Companion" creator and host Garrison Keillor will bring the show to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Monday, May 2.
Keillor will be joined by country music star Brad Paisley, bluesman Elvin Bishop’s Big Fun Trio, soprano Ellie Dehn, vocalist Heather Masse and more at the 7:30 p.m. show.
Promotor AEG Presents said the revival will have music, humor, audience sing-alongs and News from Lake Wobegon, "the little town that time forgot and the decades could not improve."
"We’ve heard enough about despair, let’s take a night in the Colorado mountains to have a big time with Brad Paisley, Elvin Bishop, Ellie Dehn, the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, our Actors, Heather Masse, and the host himself who is very happy to be turning 80," said Keillor. "So let’s get our chins up and sing about the beauty of the land and the rainbow our people were looking for, the rivers they crossed, their high hopes for their kids."
Actors Sue Scott, Tim Russell and Fred Newman, along with Richard Dworsky and the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band (Pat Donohue, Stuart Duncan, Gary Raynor) are set to appear at Red Rocks.
