A Grandstand Show from August 2014With Aoife O’Donovan and Jearlyn & Jevetta Steele
A Prairie Home Companion at The Town HallSaturday, December 9, 2023 |
Appearing on A Prairie Home Companion over a dozen times, Grammy Award winner Aoife O’Donovan remains one of Garrison’s favorite duet partners. She is cofounder of the bands I’m With Her (with Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz) and Crooked Still, and a featured vocalist on the recording The Goat Rodeo Sessions (Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile). Aoife’s latest album, The Age of Apathy, was nominated for a 2023 Grammy.
Growing up in Indiana, Jearlyn Steele sang with her siblings as The Steele Children. One by one, they moved to Minnesota and started singing together again. Now music is the family business. Jearlyn also hosts Steele Talkin’, a Sunday-night radio show that originates on WCCO in Minneapolis. In the 1980s, Jevetta Steele — along with her family group, The Steeles — toured the world in the musical The Gospel at Colonus. The show had another successful run at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in 2010. And many remember Jevetta’s Academy Award-nominated performance of “Calling You,” from the film Baghdad Café.
Garrison Keillor appeared in the August edition of Harper’s Magazine a few years back, with an essay called “Hurrah for the Plaza.” It’s a lovely piece complete with a bit of A Prairie Home Companion history. Read it now to prep for the upcoming 50th Anniversary Shows.
