April 17, 2010 broadcast with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks

This week on A Prairie Home Companion, live from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, it's our 10th annual Talent Tee-Off. Five lucky bands will get their shot at national bragging rights and the coveted Silver Water Tower trophy, based purely on listener response both inside the venue and live on the Internet (Remember, if your local public radio station delays our live show, you'll need to listen live and vote here on prairiehome.org to participate). Also with us, sure-fire palate cleansers, Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, Prairie Home Music Director Richard Dworsky, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors; Tim Russell, Sue Scott, Fred Newman, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon.
