It’s time again for the monthly Little Live Radio Hour, hosted by Panhandle Community Radio, 88.5 FM KRFY — this time featuring Ten String Smile on Tuesday, June 17 at the Panida Little Theater (300 N. First Ave.).

Produced and engineered by the Festival at Sandpoint, the show is scheduled for 7 p.m. with a live performance in the theater accompanied by a simultaneous broadcast at 88.5 FM. In-person attendees to the free show should show up a few minutes early to find their seat before the broadcast begins.

At-home listeners can tune in on their radios or stream on krfy.org.

Ten String Smile is the duo of Drew Browne and Pam Burns, with instrumentation including violin/fiddle — and sometimes mandolin — playing celtic/Appalachian folk-inspired renditions of traditional tunes as well as originals.

Browne and Burns just dropped their first CD on June 6. Get more info by signing up for the band’s email newsletter at tenstringsmile.com.

As with other Little Live Radio Hour events, the show will likely include a short skit with local actors halfway through the show.
