Dale, Jim Ed, and the Morning Show crew took on Red Wing for a live broadcast from the historic Sheldon Theatre on Friday, May 2. Special guests for this show are Cam Waters, known for his literate, tradition-based songwriting; singer Prudence Johnson with Dan Chouinard on piano and accordion; and Winona's John Paulson Jazz Quartet, known for its hard-hitting swing and repertoire of standards.

About the Sheldon Theater
Built in 1904 with funds from local businessman T.B. Sheldon, this is the country's first city-owned theater. In 1986 it was gloriously restored to its original grandeur. Described as a "glittering jewel box," it charms performers and audiences alike.
