HAPPENINGS

The Great American Folk Show®, hosted by Tom Brosseau, on Prairie Public Radio. On Saturday, March 3rd, Tom welcomes British Colombia’s roots musician Allen Dobb; North Carolina Piedmont’s wondrous instrumentalists Jaime Fennellly, Nathan Bowles & Joe Westerlund who record for Thrill Jockey under the moniker Setting. Plus Tom and longtime Medora Musical performer Joe Wiegand talk about this summer’s grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora ND, the gateway to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. In addition Tom welcomes JT Woodhouse & The Leaves of Grass, artists who have composed and now perform music to beloved classic poems; and Greg Boyer who first got started in music playing with John Lee Hooker and James Cotton. His song “Perfectly Gone” perfectly closes this amazing show.

Old Town School of Folk Music 2025 concerts and events included Bill Callahan, Arooj Aftab, and Hurray for the Riff Raff, Calexico, and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists. And the legendary and rightly acclaimed Robert Plant with his highly talented UK band, Saving Grace.
