A Prairie Home Companion with Chris Thile tickets

'A Prairie Home Companion With Chris Thile Tickets'

'

A Prairie Home Companion

was a weekly radio show created and hosted by Garrison Keillor that aired live from 1974 to 2016. In 2016, musician Chris Thile took over from Keillor, and in 2017, the show was renamed

Live from Here

. During the period that Keillor was the host, the show primarily aired from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minn., but the show sometimes went on tour to be broadcast from other US cities. In May of 2019, the show announced that its new home would be

Town Hall New York

. Both the current show and its predecessor include live acts and interviews in the format of a live radio show broadcast every Saturday evening.

'Keillor Vetted and Selected Replacement Thile'

'Thile, an American mandolinist and singer-songwriter, first appeared on Keillor's radio variety show at the age of 15 and went on to establish a 20-year association with the original radio show as both a musical guest and a host. Thile acted as guest host twice in 2015 and again in January and February of 2016. In October of 2016, Thile took over the reins of the show from Keillor. The show retained some of Keillor's creations, rejected others and expanded its musical and comedic segments. The new host and format have generally been positively reviewed.'
