The Dave Holly Hour

Megan Raposa IS Sioux Falls Simplified. Her no BS digital news source has over 2,200 subscribers. We talk about how & why she started plus talk about how Arts & Entertainment are part of the news. The Mighty Corson Arts Players have an added feature this season--two one-man shows next week. Nathan Sparks stars in Thom Pain (based on nothing) Friday the 28th and Ryan Howe stars in Every Brilliant Thing, Saturday the 29th. Brian Schipper directs both shows. We talk to all three. The Weekend Toast goes to one of our advertisers--for his community involvement. Honorable Mention goes to local winners in the Broadway World Sioux Falls Awards.

Local singer/songwriter Toby Kane & musician Brian Masek collaborated on the album Ghost and a Guess. It was produced during COVID with the two of them never being together in the studio. As funny as that may seem. the Sno-Jam Comedy Festival benefitting Special Olympics is next week. COmics Nathan Hults & Luke Johnson give us a preview. We toast our fin city8 for reached the 200,000 population mark and Honorable Mention this week is a Happy Birthday wish, albeit belated. 

And now back to regularly scheduled programming...Episode 111 gets the new year started with new guests. Chuck Case is drummer and band leader for the Late Night Boomin' TV show. We talk to Chuck about heading Chuck Case and The Late Night Boomers about being in the house band as well as his time in a few bands in the USAF. Then we're joined by comedian/actor Casey Kustak as we talk about comedy and stage acting and how one lead to the other.

It's the last show of 2021 prior to a two week hiatus, but the presents under the Episode 110 tree are wonderful. We unwrap great conversations with singer/songwriter/producer Elizabeth Enalls as well as the oldies band The 1270s with members Dakota Gamber & Adam Bruggeman. A little boy is this week's Honorable Mention and the Wekend Eve Toast is to...guess you'll just have to listen. 

Two great shows are on stage this weekend. A Christmas Carol is now the Premiere Playhouse's best selling show. Actor Tristan Chasing Hawk is in that 54 member cast, We talk about the tradition the playhouse plans and we also talk about his incredible performance in their season opening show Blood Brothers. Then we'll talk Christmas songs as we speak with Betsy Gorham and Casey Schultz from Good  Night Theatre Collective about GNTC's Yuletide Cabaret that opens tonight. Plus each week we have an Honorable Mention and a Weekend Eve Toast.

We hit the month of December talking cartoons and movies with Sam Lenz. Then the host of Late Night Boomin', Jack Unruh joins us. A bittersweet Weekend Eve Toast and a fun Honorable Mention are also on tap. 

Happy Thanksgiving from The Dave Holly Hour. Feast your ears on great conversations with Cindy Bahe & Mike Henriksen as they talk about their latest book Genuine Journeys of Life, Volume Two. Then get the sticks out for drummers Dan Heier & Al Berven.
