Part talk show, part art and culture review, Salon Saloon invites local artists, designers, musicians and social entrepreneurs to the stage for an unpredictable, uninhibited conversation about creative life in the Twin Cities. Arts writer Andy Sturdevant hosts the show, which features stories, music, presentations and audience activities. Each month guests will explore a new and different theme.

this month:
THE WISCONSIN SHOW

For the inaugural show of our second season, we've gathered together four talented Twin Citians who share one thing in common: a Wisconsin heritage. Acclaimed chef Chris Olson (Paired), video artist Erin Hael, novelist Geoff Herbach, and writer Peter Hajinian join host Andy Sturdevant and Salon Saloon's brand-new house band, Color Me Badger (Katherine Condon and Jake Mohan), for an in-depth examination of the habits and customs of our neighbors to the east. Interviews! Performances! Slideshows! Lectures! Dance! And more!

This Month's Guests:
+Chris Olson guides us through the seedy, PBR-soaked underbelly of Milwaukee's food culture
+Erin Hael green-screens us into the studios of Super 18 WVTV for a youth dance workshop
+Geoff Herbach charts an epic tale of football and heartbreak in the rolling hills of the Western Upland
+Peter Hajinian leads us through the emo clubs and outdoor rock festivals of Tommy Thompson-era Wisconsin

As the famed tourist bumper stickers once read, before "to" was ironically scratched out by bored teenagers itching to flee the state: Escape to Wisconsin!
