The Dave Holly Hour

The always entertaining Lisa Kutter talks about this weekend's Peach Festival, an interesting story about getting out of Georgia and, of course, her love of entertaining. Randy Ruud talks the tech side of theater. With over one hundred shows under his belt, he has seen many advances in lighting, sound and special effects. Weekend Eve Toast is quite special and Honorable Mention is gold.

Vietnam veteran Dave Rowe of Sioux Falls was a dee-jay while stationed in Da Nang. Now he has recreated an hour of that show and presents around the region. He tells us about that as well as being a horn player in the El Riad Shrine's "Last Call" band. WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT IN SECOND CONVERSATION Then five local female comics will be on tour in late July playing some big time venues with ten shows in ten days. Jamie Tucker, Sarah King and Alisha Rayne of Prairie Madness talk about what's coming up for them. Ice and AC get the Weekend Eve Toast nod with how toasty it's supposed to be this weekend. Honorable Mention garners some new stemware .

Matt Neufeld is President of Sioux Falls Pride. He joins us to talk about Pride Week in Sioux Falls including the big parade and festival. Then Pierce Hoffman talks about his variety of musical talents. The Weekend Eve Toast is to dreams while Honorable Mention this week isn't about love OF theater. It's about love IN the theater.

Some open and fun conversations highlight this week's show. Actor Lezlee Parker is currently in Olde Towne Dinner Theatre's production of Caught in the Net. Next week she's headed to her home of Long Island, New York to see what stage(s) she might conquer on the east coast. Then it's a "framily" conversation about local Arts & Entertainment. That chat ties in to the Weekend Eve Toast and Honorable Mention is a good laugh about my age.

Brady & Katie Wrede have both been on the show beofre talking about their solo efforts in music. They also happen to play together as Common Ground. We finally had the chance to chat with them about their music and where they'll be playing. The Weekend Eve Toast goes to the art of dance. Honorable Mention is a combo from a recnt party we attended. 

What's in store for Clinton Store? Couldn't resist the pun. You won't be able to resist hearing the local actor as we talk about his ability to bring characters (even animated ones) to life. Then from the Brookings based troupe Improvanopolis Bill Landsman is hoping the grow the improv scene in the Sioux Empire. The Weekend Eve Toast salutes the Class of 2022 while Honorable Mention might be the most well deserved award of the past week.

This show is for the birds! The Sioux Falls Canaries that is. John Gaskins is the Entertainment Director for the independent baseball team. He highlights this week's show telling us about the great entertainment lined up for this year's home schedule. They have 50 "parties" on tapk featuring local entertainment and plenty of entertaining promotions to help make summer fly by. He's also looking for more entertainers and tells us how to contact him. Plus he's a reporter for Dakota News Now. We touch on that as well. The Weekend Eve Toast to collaboration actually preludes Honorable Mention. 

Special treat this show as we get to hear some music and not worry about copyrights as the group Beautiful Kingdom joins the show along with the always energetic Apolonia Davalos. Plujs there is a great art show benefit Friday night as part of this month's First Friday at Van Arts Studios to support the South Dakota Survivor Task Force against domestic violence, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
