Tonight on Radio Heartland on Minnesota Public Radio News Stations, you'll hear from two trios.

In the first hour, I'll welcome Regina Marie Williams, Sanford Moore and Dennis Spears to the Maude Moon Weyerhauser Music Studio at MPR.
Regina is a well known Twin Cities area singer and actor, appearing onstage at the Guthrie, the Ordway, Penumbra Theater and Children's Theater just to name a few. Her performance as Dinah Washington in "Dinah Was" is especially memorable. Along with T. Mychael Rambo and Thomasina Petrus, these three are doing a Valentine's Eve show at the Capri Theater in Minneapolis.
We'll talk about love songs and the theatrical value of reciting Bible verses.

In the second hour, we'll listen in on part of a songwriters-in-the-round concert from the Americana Showcase series in Rochester, Minnesota. Series organizer Brandon Sampson and Nashville singer-songwriters Sally Barris and Don Henry are featured.

The concert can be heard in its entirety online and on digital radio on Radio Heartland (radioheartland.org) (91.1 HD 2 in Minneapolis and St. Paul) Sunday evening at 6pm and Wednesday afternoon at 1.
