The Dave Holly Hour

Guitarist Eric Miller is on the show for the first time. He LOVES electric guitars. He happens to play them well too. He's done so recently with Good Night Theatre and Midtown Coffee Radio Hour. Meanwhile musician Michael Sorenson makes his fourth appearance to talk about Six Feet Over, Duel Purpose and now his latest gig--musical accompanist with Improv Falls. The Weekend Eve Toast helps the medicine go down while impress customer service gets the Honorable Mention nod this week.

Who knows that Sioux Falls has an anthem? Bob Nelson does. He even sings it for us along while talking about his love of local theatre and all the parts he's played on and off stage. Plus Rose Ann Hofland is an actor/direct and also works at Levitt at the Falls. While she didn't tell us this year's Levitt schedule, she did give us some great info after we first talked about her directing Good Night Theatre Collective's Into The Woods. The Weekend Eve Toast goes to After Parties and Honorable Mention this week is for fellow local podcasters Casey Kelderman, Brian Mensing and Sam Lenz for having me on their podcast to talk Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles.

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."

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.

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.
