If you listen to A Prairie Home Companion much, then you'll know that founder/star Garrison Keillor is a friend to music, especially regional music. And on Oct. 29, he'll be a friend to the Haunted Windchimes, popular Pueblo band.
The group -- which writes and performs lonesome and raucous downhome folk -- will appear in the show's appearance that day at the World Arena. Their performance will be broadcast along with the rest of the show.

There is a sweet intuition in watching brothers playing or sisters singing together. Some of that familial DNA seems to weave its way through the verses, the octave changes and the rhythm shifts. When my sister and I sing together, it’s like singing with myself but in stereo. Watching Colorado Springs’ Conor and Ian Bourgal of The Changing Colors play together, it’s as if one person splintered into two – a river of fraternal goodness.
Since they first appeared on our cover three years ago, the Haunted Windchimes have gone through a few changes.
Co-founded by Pueblo siblings Inaiah and Chela Lujan and Colorado Springs ex-pat Desirae Garcia, the group has gone on to expand its sound and lineup with the addition of like-minded musicians Mike Clark and Sean Fanning.
.................................................................................... 8.26.11 INTRODUCING: THE GHOST OF MICHAEL CLARK
For many of you on the front range this is not the first time you've heard of Mr. Mike Clark. You've probably witnessed his fierce and often epic performances with The Jack Trades, heard the countrified stomping' sing-alongs of Crow Flies and was serenaded by his multi-instrumental shows as a member of The Haunted Windchimes. Like his first band implies he truly is a jack of all trades, and shows a slightly different side of his genius with each new project.

3.7.11 JOE JOHNSON - "A TIME TO DANCE" ALBUM REVIEW
While there’s not much new to be done with an acoustic guitar and a man’s voice, it’s always encouraging to hear those two instruments used by a true artist. Joe Johnson’s debut album, “A Time to Dance,” is a simple, honest country record, without all the bells, whistles and satin shirts that that phrase might call to mind.
