The Sept. 17 show at Medora's Burning Hills Amphitheatre begins at 2:30 p.m. local time with a 90-minute performance of "Dakota Air: The Radio Show," a variety show hosted by Piepkorn as executive producer.
The radio-show portion will be aired live statewide and beyond on Prairie Public's radio network, and will also feature cowboy poet Rodney Nelson, singer-songwriter Jessie Veeder Scofield, actor and creative director Steve Stark in his portrayal of Theodore Roosevelt, former Burning Hills Singers Levi and Bethany Andrist and plenty of comedy.
