APR. 15 BILL STAINES. Bill’s songs go before him. He’s one of the best of America’s folk song writers, and is quite the incredible performer, yarnspinner, and humorist. Several of his songs seem to have joined the Folk Tradition; one of the highest compliments a songwriter ever receives is that his songs are sung all over the place by people who don’t really know who wrote them. Come sing along. acousticmusic.com/staines/ .
APR. 22 DAN BERGGREN. Dan is just plain charming. He’s a writer, and singer of traditional songs from the Adirondacks. A lot of his songs have great choruses, and he has stories to tell along with the songs. Plus, he’ll make you think. He finds the humor in contemporary events. Berggrenfolk.com .
APR. 29 ANDY COHEN AND ALAN KAUFMAN. Andy Cohen sings the blues. With Alan Kaufman, though, a lot of his music is Old Timey, since Alan plays fiddle. Expect the unexpected when they get together on Bound for Glory. Expect good time music. Andycohenmusic.com .
MAY 6 GUY DAVIS. Guy Davis is one of the most exciting performers on the circuit today. He does traditional blues, and contemporary songs, in the American Black tradition. He does stories, old and new, and the audience sings and shouts right along on everything. We’re incredibly happy to have him back on Bound for Glory. Guydavis.com
MAY 13 ANNE HILLS. What a way to end our season! Anne Hills sings songs old and new, She’s a fine writer, a magical performer, and she’s won the Best of Bound for Glory award. She’s been on Bound for Glory a number of times over the decades, and it’s great to have her back. Annehills.com .
