NWA folk singer Shannon Wurst is one of 30-some odd finalists in "A Prairie Home Companion's" "Talented 20s" contest, a talent search for folky 20somethings. If she makes the next cut, she'll play live on the show.

Awhile back, we called Shannon's album "Sunday Pie" one of the best slept on albums of last year.

I'll keep you posted on the contest.
