The Montrose Music Festival invited attendees to gather around a campfire with singer-songwriters from around the country.

A few of those musicians stopped by SDPB's studios ahead of their trip to Montrose.

George Ensle and Charlie Roth are long-time country music performers. They share their song-writing philosophies and perform live in the studio (1:10-17:43).

Musician Libby Kirkpatrick headed to SDPB right after getting off the plane. She talks about and performs the original song she wrote during the flight (17:43-35:57).

The Sioux River Folk Festival is this weekend. Board members Janet Schmitz and Carole South-Winter give us a preview of what's coming to Newton Hills this year (35:57-45:00).

Plus, we look back at the history of NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts and invite the Harris Family band up to our microphones (45:00-49:21).
