Tune in to The Late Late show with Craig Ferguson tonight to see Sara Watkins perform "Where Will You Be," the self-penned closing track off her self-titled Nonesuch debut album. Also on tonight's show is actor/comedian Bill Gardell. The Late Late Show airs on CBS stations across the US starting at 12:35 AM ET.

All summer, folks all across the US have been enjoying Watkins's live performances with Garrison Keillor and the cast of A Prairie Home Companion on their Summer Love Tour, which continues through September 12. This weekend, the whole group will head back to Prairie home turf for the radio program's annual live broadcast from The Minnesota State Fair, broadcast on public radio stations across the country. Watkins promises, via Twitter, to add two songs to her set for the occasion: one by Harry Nilsson and one by Randy Newman. To find out where A Prairie Home Companion is playing near you or listen in live online Saturday at 6 PM ET, head to prairiehome.org.

Following a recent Summer Love Tour stop in Texas, the San Antonio Express reported: "A packed house at the Majestic was treated to an evening of duets between Keillor and smoky-voiced bluegrass vocalist/fiddler Sara Watkins, as well as bursts of poetry and live performances of some much-adored elements of the radio show, including 'Guy Noir, Private Eye' and a rambling 'News from Lake Wobegon.'"

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
