February 2005 You can find more old shows by selecting a different month and year in the form below. February 5, 2005 The VocalEssence Ensemble Singers will join us at the Fitz again this weekend; we've asked them to pick out some love songs, in honor of a certain saint and his upcoming holiday. Stop by for a listen. You'll hear a word or two from the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, too, plus the News From Lake Wobegon and more. February 12, 2005 We'll be on the edge of our seats at the Fitz this weekend, waiting to see what the young guys in the rebellious Appalachian string band Old Crow Medicine Show have for us. We'll be glad to have them (back for the first time since September), along with Peter Ostroushko, Prudence Johnson, John Niemann, and more. February 19, 2005 Join us this weekend for our second annual teen talent contest: Talent From Twelve To Twenty. We flew these kids into St. Paul for the last Fitz show of the season—from Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Idaho, Michigan and Georgia (click here to read more about the contestants). We can't wait to show you what they can do. February 26, 2005 We'll be at the College of St. Catherine this weekend, saying goodbye to St. Paul (until next fall, anyway), with some old friends: Butch Thompson will join us, as will Sally Dworsky and Prudence Johnson. Plus: the St. Kate's Women's Choir, a string quartet, and more. Join us. | |
