The Big River Radio Wave

The Big River Radio Wave is an hour-long variety show with performers, themes, and topics native to the rural upper Midwest area in which the show is performed, but easily accessible to a wider audience.  The show interweaves original and public domain music performed by the house band, the RiverBenders, with the offbeat comedy of Minneapolis comedian Mary Mack, and story telling by internationally acclaimed naturalist Kenny Salway.  The Big River Radio Wave will be recorded live at the Mabel Tainter Center for the ARts and mass communicated through Wisconsin Public Radio.  The show will be broadcast this summer on 90.3 WHLA/La Crosse, 88.3 WHWC Menomonie-Eau Claire, and 88.7 WRFW/River Falls.  GUEST ARTIST: TIM HARMSTON
