WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY'S 42nd YEAR CONTINUES, LATE FALL 2008
Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Late Fall schedule, continuing the 42nd year of this
Central New York musical tradition.
WVBR's Bound for Glory, North America's longest running live folk
concert broadcast, broadcasts live from the Cafe at Anabel Taylor Hall
at Cornell, on Sunday nights. Bound for Glory brings central New York
another series of free folk concerts, on WVBR-FM, 93.5 and 105.5. We
promise some excellent acoustic music, presented by long-time host Phil
Shapiro.
The show runs Sunday nights from 8 to 11, with live sets at 8:30, 9:30,
and 10:30. All three sets are different. Come to as many sets as you
wish. Admission in the live audience at Anabel Taylor is free and is
open to everyone in the area. Kids are always welcome. Refreshments are
available. For further information, call Phil Shapiro at 607-844-4535,
or e-mail pds10@cornell.edu.
Find out about upcoming Bound for Glory shows, and about how you can
help, through the Friends of Bound for Glory, by looking up
http://wvbr.com on the Web. Everyone can listen to Bound for Glory on
line. The website tells you how.
OCT. 19 PIERCE PETTIS. Pierce comes to us from the deep South, but
not very often. This will be the third Bound for Glory visit from this
amazing, sturdy, powerful songwriter and singer. Pierce Pettis is a
strong and exciting performer, who has a great deal to say and the skill
to say it very very well. Don't miss this show.
OCT. 26 ALIZE (pronounced ah-lee-ZAY). The music of Brittany and of
France. Alize plays and sings tunes that go back many centuries, and
some new ones as well. Alize is Ithaca's Laurie Hart, Gordon Bonnet,
and Julia Lapp. They'll make majic for us, Breton and French style, on
their first Bound for Glory appearance.
NOV. 2 PHIL SHAPIRO AND CARRIE SHORE. Yes, Phil is the host of Bound
for Glory, and every few years he and musical partner Carrie Shore get
up on stage at Bound for Glory. Carrie is an outstanding, flexible
fiddler, and Phil plays a fine finger style guitar. Traditionally
oriented folk songs with wonderful choruses. Come sing!!! By the way,
Mark Anbinder will host the show for this evening.
NOV. 9 SPARKY AND RHONDA RUCKER. Music in the African American folk
tradition, blues, and Southern Mountain Music, both black and white.
Sparky and Rhonda are real scholars of the history of American music,
but they never forget to have a good time. A fun, high energy show from
long time Bound for Glory favorites.
NOV. 16 JACK HARDY AND DAVID MASSENGILL -- THE FOLK BROTHERS. What a
surprise! Two prominent downstate singer-songwriters, both well known
to the Bound for Glory audience, have teamed up and formed a duo that's
traveling the whole country. They'll sing some of their own songs, some
from other writers, some traditional material, and we'll have some
marvelous interplay between seasoned, good humored folk singers.
NOV. 23 SMALL POTATOES. Small Potatoes is a past winner of the Best
of Bound for Glory award, a highly eclectic, wildly whacky contemporary
duo from Illinois. Small Potatoes comes complete with a highly
infectious smile that everyone can share. Their most recent CD was
recorded live on Bound for Glory. There's good reason for that. They
were snowed out last March. Let's make them especially welcome this time.
NOV. 30 Albums from the studios. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121.
DEC. 7 LISSA SCHNECKENBURGER AND HER BAND. What a great end to 2008!
Lissa Schneckenburger is a knockout fiddler and a great singer. Her
music is traditionally based, and very danceable, and her band is one of
the best going. The last live show of the year will be filled with
sparkle and magic.
From DECEMBER 14 through JANUARY 11, Bound for Glory will be Albums
from the Studios. Catch the Winter Solstice show on DECEMBER 14, the
Holiday special show on DECEMBER 21, and the New Year's special on
DECEMBER 28. Holiday songs you won't hear in the shopping malls. Give
Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Next Live Bound for Glory? JANUARY 18, 2009.
