We're running this in tomorrow's paper:
This fall, “A Prairie Home Companion” announced that mandolin stud/genius grant recipient Chris Thile of Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek fame would be a guest host for two weeks in February. What Garrison Keillor hasn’t announced is that Guy’s All Star Shoe Band is no longer his house band. The change happened when the new season began in September. Keyboardist Richard Dworsky, the really big Shoe Band leader, is still on board every week but the other musicians vary, depending on the style of the musical guests on any given week. And their moniker varies depending on the whim of Keillor, who last month called the musicians the November Boys. Guy’s All Star Shoe Band will make the occasional “APHC” appearance and even an occasional non-radio performance. After spending the last few Decembers in New York, “APHC” is home at the Fitzgerald for another show on Saturday featuring VocalEssence and Heather Masse.
