Tune into KALW for five hours of live performance by stellar musicians from the Bay Area and beyond!
Hosted by JoAnn Mar, Peter Thompson, and Kevin Vance
Here's the Lineup:
2:00 p.m. Breabach
This multi award-winning ensemble is among Scotland’s leading bands performing traditional and original music. The 5-member band is anchored by pipes, whistles, fiddle and guitar and melds progressive and contemporary arrangements with traditionally rooted Celtic music.
2:50 p.m. “Finding Lucinda”
KALW’s Jenee Darden speaks with local singer-songwriter Ismay about her new documentary film profiling the great alt-country artist Lucinda Williams.
3:15 p.m. Peppino D’Agostino
The talented finger-style guitarist from Italy returns to the KALW studios after a long absence.
4:00 p.m. The Goat Hill Girls
A 40+ year mainstay of the South Bay, the band includes two original members of Sidesaddle —mandolinist Kim Elking and fiddler Lee Anne Welch — plus bass player Lisa Burns with guitarist/lead singer Linda Maki and banjo/dobro player Phyllis Erck.
Their music combines traditional bluegrass, vintage country, old time, Irish, novelty, and original compositions.
4:45 p.m. The West Coast Stringband Duo
Jesse Appelman (mandolin & vocals) has played with the Sam Grisman Project, Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, the Brothers Comatose, and choro players in Rio de Janeiro. Christine Wilhoyte (banjo & vocals) has also played with Laurie & Kathy and other bands. Their duo promises to be both more intimate and more experimental than the full West Coast Stringband Project and other bluegrass/old time bands.
5:30 p.m. David Gans
The singer-songwriter guitarist writes about life, the universe and everything. He's also a Stanford University lecturer and the author of many books and articles about The Grateful Dead.
6:15 p.m. Maggie Forti
The Bay Area songwriter guitarist sings like an angel. She has one album out called, “Travellin' On.”
