OCT. 14 THE CADLEYS. Welcome back John and Cathy Cadley, and friends. It’s bluegrass-flavored music, festooned with wonderful songwriting, as well as hot licks. The Cadleys are not a standard bluegrass band. They are wonderful explorers of American Country-flavored songs, both old and new. Cadleys.com
OCT. 21 CLIFF EBERHARDT AND LOUISE MOSRIE. Both Cliff and Louise are super songwriters. They are very different, and each is a whole lot of fun. We might call Cliff somewhat bluesy, and Louise somewhat country. But the strongest thing we can say is that they both know the truth when they sing it. Cliffeberhardt.com
OCT. 28 MAC BENFORD AND UPSOUTH. If some scholar writes a history of the Old Timey revival in this country, there will be a chapter on Mac Benford. This band is fun. There are songs and tunes, old and not so old, and a bunch of players and singers who make this music work, and work well. Good times. They’ll get your feet tapping. Macbenford.com
NOV. 4 HEATHER PIERSON TRIO. Lots of different kinds of music. The Heather Pierson trio has been on Bound for Glory once before, and it was a knock out. What a superior show!! The band is tight, and right. Heather Pierson is a fine songwriter and performer. Heatherpierson.com
NOV. 11 HOME REMEDY. Rosie Newton and Lydia Garrison get together to sing new songs and old, with a country flavor, and excellent harmonies. They’re just charming, Welcome them to Bound for Glory for the first time. Rosie has been on Bound for Glory several times, most recently as half of Richie and Rosie. Homeremedymusic.com
NOV. 18 DEBRA COWAN. Debra Cowan is a singer and interpreter of great songs, old and new. Some of her songs are centuries old, some were written yesterday. Songs with excellent choruses. She’s got a good sense of humor, and is just a delightful performer. She is always welcome on Bound for Glory. debracowan.com

DEC. 2 COSY SHERIDAN. What a fine way to end our fall season! Cosy Sheridan invites you into her world. She’s a songwriter, and a storyteller.
