This week I went to hear a Praire Home Companion at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico (you can listen to that show here). I can say that radio does not do justice to the quality of the regular musicians on the show.  Maybe its how they mix or compress the show for radio, but the live performance is much more vibrant. Guest artists included the phenomenal vocal duo Sorela consisting of two sisters, D’ette and D’anna from Albuquerque. They sung songs both in Spanish and English and the audience at the Pan Am Center loved them for good reason. Also appearing were Joe Ely and Joel Guzman both from Austin. Joe Ely is a singer/guitarist and Joel is an extraordinary accordionist–totally mind-blowing. The biggest crowd pleaser of the evening was Chris Thile singing “El Paso”.
