CALUMET -- The Red Metal Radio Show will be broadcast live from the Calumet Theatre at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, on Eagle Radio, WCUP-FM, 105.7.
"You're invited to come out to the theatre to be part of the live audience," says musician Oren Tikkanen. "Bring your ears, your imagination, and $5, and you'll hear the sounds your predecessors heard 100 years ago. Meet a number of natives and immigrant settlers from diverse foreign lands, and listen to some of their music."
The audience must be in the theatre by 6:50 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the music starting at 6:15 p.m. Come early and listen to the Red Metal Radio Band play a wide-ranging set of old-time music that the radio audience will not hear. Once seated, everyone will need to remain seated until the broadcast is complete. Door prizes will be offered in a drawing after the show.
The band members are Libby Meyer, fiddle; Doug Bacon, banjo; Eleanor Taylor, accordion; Matt Durocher, bass; Dave Bezotte, piano and vocals; Deb McDowell, mandolin; Bob Orton, mandolin; with vocals by Marian McKellar, Melissa Lewis, Perrie Vanpembrook and Dan Maki.
Those who want to buy the $5 tickets in advance can call the Calumet Theatre at 337-2610 to pre-buy the general admission tickets.
Let your ears take a walk around Calumet--sorry, that's Red Jacket in 1909 -- this Thursday. The music starts about 6:15 p.m., the broadcast at 7 p.m.
The Red Metal Radio Show will be held during Main Street Calumet's Calumet Heritage Celebration. Visit the Main Street Calumet Web site to see the schedule of activities.
