Garrison Keillor

Keillor is the shock jock of wholesomeness.

Two million Americans tune in weekly to their local NPR stations to listen to A Prairie Home Companion, and are transported to Lake Wobegon through the wise reflections of radio personality Garrison Keillor and his understated commentary on human nature. The charming, witty and always entertaining author and humorist comes to Santa Cruz in a one-man show to share his touching and often hilarious stories about growing up in the Midwest, the people of Lake Wobegon, and "late-life fatherhood." Keillor is also the host of the daily radio and online program, The Writers Almanac, and a best-selling author of 12 books, including Lake Wobegon Days, Love Me, and Homegrown Democrat.
