Fiddle the night away with this Prairie Home Companion star making a rare Northwest appearance - at The Breadline Cafe!

     "...you'll feel transported to another time and place... maybe a Georgia farmhouse, a hundred years ago..."

     Peter Ostroushko makes a rare Northwest appearance, and it comes at The Breadline Cafe!!

     Ostroushko's appearance comes on the heels of his releasing the CD "The Mando Boys Live! Holstein Lust" late last year. He's been working on this CD for about 10 years. For Mandolin lovers this is a glimpse into a short-lived group that set the mandolin world upside down with it's impeccable playing, incredible arrangements, and hilarious stage presence.

     It took years to track down live recordings of their concerts and, to edit them in such a way as to give the listener a front row seat to one of their rare concerts, says information on Ostroushko's website.

     When they write the book on Peter Ostroushko, they may mention that he loved his family and music and cooking and baseball. But there's no doubt they'll say he was one of the most accomplished instrumentalists and gifted composers of his generation.

     The die was cast early on. Growing up in the Ukrainian community of northeast Minneapolis, Peter heard mandolin, balalaika and bandura tunes played by his father and family friends at get-togethers in their home and in church. It's the music that still echoes in Peter's memory and provides the basis for many of his compositions.

     Paula invites you to fiddle away the night with this Prairie Home Companion star, who has also toured with Robin and Linda Williams, Norman Blake and the Rising Fawn Ensemble, and Chet Atkins. He's also worked with the likes of Jethro Burns, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Johnny Gimble, Greg Brown, John Hartford and Taj Mahal, among a host of others.
