Garrison Keillor, who has been called America’s finest storyteller, brings a special live performance of A Prairie Home Companion to the Knoxville Civic Auditorium stage on Wednesday, September 8 at 8 PM. "The Summer Love" Tour is a coast-to-coast concert tour that takes on the everlasting theme of romantic love. Join host Garrison Keillor, Nickel Creek’s Sara Watkins, the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, and sound-effects man Fred Newman for tender duets and ballads, poetry (Poe, Shakespeare, Anonymous), stories of passion and marriage, and Mr. Keillor’s intermission walk through the audience for the sing-along of “Unchained Melody” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.” All this and favorite elements of A Prairie Home Companion — Guy Noir, Dusty and Lefty, the News from Lake Wobegon — during an entertaining date night for all ages.
