The Dave Holly Hour

The Psychic is being presented by the Mighty Corson Arts Players this weekend and next. Director Brian Schipper tells us about the show, the cast and some things coming up for MCAP. Chris Andrews recently had the lead in Lombardi at Premiere Playhouse. We talk with him about his serious side and his improv comedy side as an Improv Falls cast member. The Weekend Eve Toast goes to ovations while Honorable Mention is for a man from northern Minnesota that recently picked up one of my pens from my wife and said "Hey, I just listened to this podcast."

Image consultant & branding expert Sheila Anderson and Insiders Band songwriter/keyboardist Ray Pearson & drummer Darren Matthes highlight this week's show. The Weekend Eve Toast is to Daylight Saving Time while Honorable Mention goes to the Midtown Coffee Radio Hour.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This week's show features actor & podcaster Mo Hurley fresh off her outstanding performance in the Premiere Playhouse's 39 Steps. Then April VanLeirsburg from Van Art Studios joins us to talk about a benefit show for DakotAbilities. The Weekend Eve Toast goes to St. Patrick's Day and Honorable Mention is for Monstrous Little Theatre's production last week of Rabbit Hole.

A very lovely young couple, Greyson Schultz & Audri Vargas highlight this week's show. The two singer/songwriters are very talented and you'll hear the passion in the stories they tell. The Weekend Eve Toast is to priorities thanks to a Facebook meme from Pat Hartigan. Honorable Mention is about Music in the Schools Month and a proud grandpa.

One great guest and then 10 Rules Every Artist Should Live By. That great guest is Sydney Bartunek-Bender of Move to Heal South Dakota. She is the organization's founder and has been moving since the age of five with a great dance career. She tells us about their upcoming events as well as its focus and mission. Listen for her very quotable statement about absorbing the arts. Due to host miscommunication, the other guest is now rescheduled in late April, so Dave presents some advice for all artists no matter if a novice or a professional. The Weekend Eve Toast salutes those unexpected times you catch up with friends. Honorable Mention goes to an unexpected evening of jazz...partly due to Dave's forgetting to pay his tab at R Wine Bar.

He is one of the busiest people in show biz in the Sioux Empire. Zach Dresch joins us to talk comedy, talk show cohosting, drumming and improv. THen we learn about the elegant art of aerial performance with Kayla Mathieu & Katie Herrmann from Cirka Perform. We toast "paying it forward" as we head to the weekend and give a shout out to Collin McKenzie & Steve Rausch of Storybuilt on Honorable Mention for the world premier of the full feature documentary Vertical Freedom.

Once again, more then an hour. It's the post Valentine episode and it does include some lovebirds. Local actors Erin Sharp & Emily Dykstra love the stage, fell in love on stage and will get married on stage this spring. Preston Liebelt is a sing and self taught keyboard chordsman now working as a missionary in Puerto Rico. Brady Wrede has a new EP title Dark that comes out Friday, but has already released the first single Nights. Bonus Valentine gift...since it's his copyright we play it at the end of the show!

We take you to new heights this week with Storybuilt Media's  Collin McKenzie & Steve Rausch tell us all about their full feature documentary Vertical Freedom. Then it's awards season and Casey Kelderman of the Backlot 605 podcast tells us about tonight's Schumkies Awards LIVE podcast. Our Weekend Eve Toast celebrates local arts & entertainment choices. Premiere Playhouse Executive Director (and wannabe standup comic) Robin Byrne garners this week's Honorable Mention.

The Arts & Entertainment scene in the Sioux Empire doesn't slowdown in the winter. Cody Henrichs is curator at the Washington Pavilion's Visual Arts Center. He describes and details his job of putting together amazing exhibits. Midtown Coffee Radio Hour's Tina Jackson & Matt Morrison stop by to tell us about their LIVE recording next week at Augie's Back Alley. The Weekend Eve Toast gives kudos to tonight's opening of the Premiere Playhouse production of Lombardi. Honorable Mention is praise for all the Dave Holly Hour fans as we jumped from just under 7,000 downloads to 7,612 in about ten days.

Artis/Art Gallery Owner April VanLeirsburg talks about local visual arts as well as her Van Arts Gallery on North Phillips Avenue. Then Olde Towne Dinner Theatre's John Boe joins us to talk about the rest of their season and how tickets are now available for their production of I Hate Hamlet. The Weekend Eve Toast salutes small theatre with big talent. Honorable Mention givers kudos to last weekend's Sno-Jam Comedy Festival.
