JAN. 29 TAL NACCARATO. We’ll start out with Tal Naccarato, making his first Bound for Glory appearance, singing songs old and new about, well, everything. And telling stories to go with them. Tal is one fine guitar player, and I’m sure glad that he’s coming to the show. ‘Cmon along. talnaccarato.com
FEB. 5 PETER MULVEY. Well, he’s a songwriter, and a singer of other people’s songs. Peter’s been on the circuit for several decades, but he’s never been to Bound for Glory before. He’s got a sly good humor, and great energy. What a treat to welcome him to the show! petermulvey.com
FEB 12 BEAUCOUP BLUE. They’re a father and son, from Philadelphia. They’re songwriters, and singers of old blues, done in their inimitable style. And they’re a lot of fun. Their music covers many bases, and when you think you’ve figured them out, they’ll surprise you. beaucoupblue.com .
FEB. 19 Albums from the Studios. Cornell February Break. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121.
FEB. 26 SALLY ROGERS AND HOWIE BURSEN. It’s so good to have them back on the show, after many years.Their contemporary songs have a wry humor about them, except, of course, for the ones that are just plain fun. Their traditional material is just wonderful. Makes us understand why the old songs are so important. Howie is one of the original Bound for Glory performers. He’s been part of the show since the very beginning. sallyrogers.com .
MAR. 5 MUSTARD’S RETREAT. Mustard’s Retreat makes you feel like you’re in your own living room with a couple of marvelous musicians on the couch. It’s very informal, and 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. 12 REVEREND ROBERT JONES AND MATT WATROBA. Well, Matt’s been on Bound for Glory before, solo, but the two of them together are something you’ve never seen or heard. Where does your music come from? They know, and they’ll share it with you. They just sparkle. They’re both fun and serious at the same time. mattwatroba.net .
MAR. 19 JOE JENCKS. You know Joe Jencks as part of the wonderful trio Brother Sun. But it’s been years since Joe’s done a solo Bound for Glory. He’s a wonderful songwriter, and a finder of old songs, and he will have your attention all night long. Just marvelous. joejencks.com .
MAR. 26 The CADLEYS. John and Cathy Cadley are wonderful singers, with close harmonies. Their songs come from bluegrass, country, and the folk tradition. John’s songs have been sung throughout the world of bluegrass. A real treat to have them back on the show. cadleys.com .
