Sam Payne and Dustin Norder, co-hosts of acoustic music night at The Rose Bowl Tavern

Next week, The Rose Bowl Tavern in Urbana will start a new open stage for acoustic musicians, to happen on Monday nights. Co-hosts Sam Payne and Dustin Norder will sing and play for us live on the Wednesday edition of "Live and Local." And we'll hear a preview of The Prairie Ensemble's presentation of a mini-opera featuring Julia Child, happening Saturday in Champaign.
