Cathy Erickson, host of the Monday Night Variety Show, heard every Monday from 6 – 11 PM on Pioneer 90.1, will take her show “live” to the Commons area of Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls on Monday, November 24, from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m.

This live show is open to the public and will be a fund-raiser event for Pioneer 90.1, helping the station to meet expenses not covered by grants and NCTC. This past summer the station had a large expense due to problems at the tower located west of St. Hilaire.

Area musicians will be featured during the live broadcast, including Dick Miller from Goodridge; Bob Skoglund from Holt; Lois & Lois from Middle River; Joe Smidt from Grand Forks; Maury Finney from East Grand Forks; and MORE!

A silent auction is planned during the evening and listeners are invited to bring pies or other items for the auction.

There will also be door prizes and refreshments during the evening.

Pioneer 90.1 FM features a wide variety of programming and all programming will benefit from your support of the live broadcast Monday, November 24th. See you there!

After rocking RiverFest 2014 in Thief River Falls, Britain’s Finest makes a return engagement at the Evergreen Eating Emporium Friday, November 7 at 7 PM. The Beatles tribute group also performs at the Empire Arts Center in Grand Forks Saturday, November 8 at 7 PM.

Listen to the band’s Pioneer 90.1 in-studio performance here:

According to the 2000 Federal Census, 50 percent of Thief River Falls residents identify themselves as Norwegian-American, making Thief River Falls one of the most Norwegian cities in the US.

So it would seem that our area might be home to some contenders for a reality show that’s now casting for its 6th season on Norwegian television. It’s called “Alt for Norge” – or “The Great Norway Adventure.”

Here to tell us more about it is Joan O’Connor from O’Conner casting in Chicago.

Fred Eaglesmith has made a long, successful career out of playing shows in small town Legion halls, community centers, and taverns. He and his band travel from town to town in a bus powered by vegetable oil. Eaglesmith spoke to Pioneer 90.1’s Mark Johnson in advance of a show at El Roco in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
