The Local Color Radio Hour, (Volume 8) recorded LIVE in front of an audience on March 7, 2020 at the historic King Opera House, Van Buren, AR.

Our 8th show was a return to a favorite spot, the King Opera House, and we brought in several new musical guests for this one (we have a little bit of everything in this episode: blues, Mexican banda, Irish/Scots, Americana, gospel, and rock), loads of fun, Little Known Facts and What's on Display from local museums, and some comedy, too! Enjoy this "Golden Age of Radio" style format of a live show and we hope you have as much fun as we did producing it for you. If you wish to hear more or want a live show in your area, let us know!
