This weekend we're headed to Ohio for a show at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls. Our friends Elana Fremerman (on fiddle) and Cindy Cashdollar (on dobro and steel guitar) will be there, and we've asked the Minnesota-based a capella group Tonic Sol-Fa to join us as well. Plus: The Hopeful Gospel Quartet (Garrison, Robin and Linda Williams, and Mollie O'Brien), the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, the News From Lake Wobegon and more.
