Northwoods Nightcap
A Music and Humor Variety Hour
Hosted by Doc Heide and Lee Becker
Sponsored by Northern Door Communications
Northwoods Nightcap is AFT’s high-energy late-night comedy and song showcase---sort of Prairie Home Companion without the prairie or the home. Presented on select Friday nights from 10 to 11 PM, the show features talented guest artists, comical commercials, and special appearances from AFT characters. You might catch Angelique from Belgians in Heaven telling Saint Peter jokes, or Ernie the Moocher (from Guys on Ice) giving away prizes. The Door County Advocate described it as “absolutely hilarious…soulful and…astounding.”
This summer’s guests include Eric Lewis and Tommy Burroughs (both winners of the Best String Player Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), Monica Heuser (winner of the prestigious Ivey Award in the Twin Cities), longtime AFT singer-songwriters Chris Irwin, Scott Wakefield and Claudia Russell, and other performers. Each night you’ll hear a Heritage Ensemble Song of the Week (reviving the stirring music of AFT’s predecessor troupe) and a song by Fred Alley (AFT’s brilliant co-founder), plus the Pickled Joke of the Week and other surprises. Mark your calendars for July 18 and August 15---then before you hit the sack, kick back and have a Northwoods Nightcap!
