Author and public radio host Garrison Keillor will play a benefit show May 6 at Overture Hall in Madison to honor his late brother and raise money for a new shelter at Tenney Park.
Details of the event, including ticket price, have not been worked out, but Keillor wants the show to be both entertaining and a meaningful tribute to his brother, said Doug Keillor of Madison, Garrison Keillorâ??s nephew and the son of John Philip (Phil) Keillor Jr., who died Feb. 27 in Madison at age 71.
Phil Keillor was a UW-Madison coastal engineer and one of the founders of a Madison homeless shelter that evolved into Porchlight Inc. Memorials from his funeral benefited the nonprofit organization.
