Playlist, August 28th, 2011

No. It was too dangerous to leave the house during Irene, but I did have some good stuff planned for you – some old stuff, some new stuff, and a crunchy episode of "Today in Jam Band History." I can tell you that after weathering some hairy thunderstorms in the Radio Vibes trailer, and driving to WPKN after a few nasty snowstorms, it was nice to be at home for this most recent weather adventure.

Here's hoping we are done with the severe natural phenomena so we can spend next Sunday together. I'll have an interview with Roy Jay (of the Roy Jay Band), and September 4th in Jam Band History. Don't forget, I owe you that "Big Railroad Blues" from 7/21/83 that I had to cut off at the end of the show last week.

The Sunday Brunch Concert schedule is resuming September 11th with a great lineup of shows. Check the details here. I hope you have an easy clean-up and that your dwelling is good shape.

The WPKN High-Rollers Ball

Apparently there was some kind of fancy reception for "major donors" to WPKN the other night. I'd tell you more, but like most of us who actually do the radio programs at WPKN, I wasn't invited. Apparently a few elite members of the volunteer staff and the paid general manager met with the well-heeled listeners, who were then given a tour of the run-down studio we used to call home.

WPKN Benefit Concert with Hoe and Cinnamon Sky

Hey now! Two WPKN programmers will be bringing their bands to the Acoustic Cafe in Bridgeport on Thursday, June 30th for an evening of bluegrass and Americana. We have some surprise guests lined up as well.

Admission is $10 and the proceeds support WPKN's broadcast of Radio Vibes from the Gathering of the Vibes.

Hoe
Wednesday night bluegrass DJ Chris Teskey will be appearing with Hoe.
Drawing on an array of diverse influences, this string band (3-part vocals, guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass) ignores barriers and boundaries to create a sound that is at once timeless and timely. It is as adept at picking a traditional fiddle tune, a Bill Monroe classic, as it is interpreting a Beatles number or one of its own original compositions.

Cinnamon Sky
Sunday morning jazz and jam band host David Golden will be appearing with Cinnamon Sky.
People tend to think of us as a country band, something that I strongly disagree with. If we have to be put into a class I'd rather it be Americana. Kinda folk, bluegrass, southern rock, cowboy, country and rockabilly all rolled in together.

I hope to see you at the Acoustic Cafe for a night of good friends and great music.
