Garrison Keillor Tickets and Tour Dates     Use this link to purchase all Garrison Keillor tickets.   I was born in Anoka, Minnesota in 1942, the third of six kids in a Plymouth Brethren family. My mother's people were Scots who came over from Glasgow in 1906, my grandpa and grandma and six little kids; my grandpa Keillor came to Anoka in 1880 from New Brunswick, a family of farmers and ship's carpenters and clerics, some of them Loyalists escaped north from the American Revolution, some Yorkshire farmers who arrived around 1770 to take over the lands taken away from the French. My wife Jenny's people are part Connecticut Yankee, part Swedish from Smaaland. Our little girl looks Swedish but has a big sunny personality, which she certainly doesn't get from my side, believe me. I grew up along the West River Road in Brooklyn Park, went to Anoka High School, then the University of Minnesota, where I was an English major, and worked at the Minnesota Daily and at the University radio station, KUOM. I graduated in 1966 and went to work for Minnesota Public Radio in 1969 (my last job interview, I trust). I did the early morning shift, which I quit a couple times for stints of writing. In the summer of 1974, "A Prairie Home Companion" began as a Saturday afternoon live variety show. First from Macalester College in Saint Paul, then various auditoriums and theaters, and, starting in 1978, from the present site, the World (renamed Fitzgerald) Theater. The show began life as a sort of folk music revue and by 1980, when it began national broadcasts, had pretty much found its current form. I brought the show to an end in 1987, from sheer exhaustion, and soon regretted this, and resumed it in 1989 in New York, from the Majestic Theater in Brooklyn, as the American Radio Company of the Air. Despite attempts to strike out in new directions, it was still the same show, so we brought it back to St. Paul and in 1993 resumed the name A Prairie Home Companion.
