JAN. 27 TRAVIS KNAPP. We’ll start our season with one of the finest songwriters, and occasionally, traditional singers that we’re had on Bound for Glory recently. Travis has won the Best of Bound for Glory award… and his smile is contagious. A great way to start the live shows in 2019. Travisknappmusic.com
FEB. 3 JANET BATCH. What a delightful, quirky songwriter. Janet, and her band, has made quite a splash in the Ithaca area, and it is our pleasure to welcome them to their first live Bound for Glory show. Her songwriting is full of surprises and humor. Janetbatch.com
FEB. 10 ANDREW VanNORSTRAND. Andrew is known far and wide for his instrumental virtuosity. But he’s also a fine songwriter, as we’ll all find out. He’ll bring some of his favorite musical friends with him, and the energy will be high, not to be missed. Andrewvannorstrand.com
FEB. 17 EDDY AND KIM LAWRENCE. It’s been many a year since the last time Eddy Lawrence appeared on Bound for Glory, and now he’s joined by his wife Kim. What a wild writer! With a smile he says that they’re a bit like the old Smothers Brothers. Well, let’s just say that we can’t find a better analogy. Snowplowrecords.com
FEB. 24 Albums from the Studios. Cornell February Break. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121.
MAR. 3 VANCE GILBERT. What an honor to again present Vance Gilbert, one of the best writers and performers on the folk circuit today. Tremendous variety, and stories to go with the songs. Lots of good humor, and a wry look at the human condition. Vancegilbert.com
MAR. 10 MARK RUST. Every couple of years we are pleased to welcome Mark Rust, one of the best of the Bound for Glory performers. He’s got stories aplenty, some of them from his time in Ithaca many years ago. He writes choruses that we all want to sing, and he’s just a delight. On guitar and hammered dulcimer. Markrust.com
MAR. 17 MUSTARD’S RETREAT. Mustard’s Retreat makes you feel like you’re in your own house with three marvelous musicians sitting on your couch. Informal, very magical. Over time they’ve written more and more of their own songs, but they’ve always kept a connection to the music that’s come before. mustardsretreat.com
MAR. 24 PEPPER AND SASSAFRAS. Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers and Wendy Ramsay return to Bound for Glory, with a fine collection of songs that will fill you up with wit, humor, and the unexpected. It’s about time we welcomed them back to Bound for Glory. Lots of fun. Jeffreypepperrodgers.com
On MARCH 31 and APRIL 7, WVBR’s Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios, as Cornell takes its Spring Break. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Next Live Bound for Glory folk concert broadcast? APRIL 14, with SMALL POTATOES. Also coming this Spring: JOE CROOKSTON, JANE ROTHFIELD AND ALLAN CARR, MIKE AGRANOFF.
