Vocalist Jearlyn Steele will tour greater Minnesota in this year's installment of Minnesota Public Radio's Troubadour Program. The Troubador series brings Jearlyn Steele all around the state — to Rochester, Windom, Duluth, Brainerd, and even up to Houghton, Michigan.
Steele will be joined by her brother Billy on piano. Together they will perform tunes from Jearlyn Steele's many appearances on A Prairie Home Companion, as well as a few tunes that many folks will recognize—such as Etta James's "Something's Got a Hold on Me," Carol King's "Natural Woman."

A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?

Scripts and bits from A Prairie Home Companion celebrate the secret society of men and women who possess excellent spelling and punctuation skills. (You know who you are.)
Selections include "The Six-Minute Hamlet," a tribute to Emily Dickinson, a Guy Noir adventure that exposes an MFA scam, a riveting "Professional Organization of English Majors" drama, and guests Billy Collins, Robert Bly, Roy Blount Jr., and Calvin Trillin.
