Additional Information

Veterans of Minnesota Public Radio's "A Prairie Home Companion", Pat Donohue & The Prairie All Stars are set to play the Potter Auditorium in Chatfield, Minnesota with a 7:30pm concert on Saturday, March 2, 2019.

Pat Donohue is one of the most listened-to finger pickers in the world. As the guitarist for the “Guys All-Star Shoe Band” of Minnesota Public Radio’s "A Prairie Home Companion", for twenty years, Pat got to show off his savvy licks and distinctive original songs to millions of listeners each week. Now he's set to bring this talent and musical prowess to Southeast Minnesota for a special performance this March.

Pat’s musical tastes are eclectic. Though he considers himself foremost a folk guitarist, Pat’s influences are rooted in bluesmen Blind Blake, Robert Johnson, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, and Miles Davis. He manages to blend jazz and blues with folk, and the mix is seamless. Over the years he has captivated audiences with his unique original compositions, dazzling instrumentals and humorous song parodies, including Sushi-Yucki and Would You Like to Play the Guitar?

With Pat on guitar and vocals, he will be joined by his band, The Prairie All Stars, featuring Richard Kriehn on mandolin, Gary Raynor on bass, Dan Newton on accordion, and Peter Johnson on drums. These stellar musicians were also all at one time members of the "Guys All Star Shoe Band”. Pat reconnected with them to record “Blue Yonder” (released in 2016) and together, they has been playing local clubs and area performance centers since the album's release. Their blend of supreme musical talent plus Pat’s clever songwriting and enormous finger style guitar capability adds to each performance and has been gaining acclaim as one of Minnesota's must-see ensembles. From blues to folk to rock-a-billy and more, this expert band of players will create an unforgettable and entertaining night of music and fun!
