WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY STARTS ITS 42nd YEAR, FALL 2008

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Fall schedule, the start of the 42nd year of this
Central New York musical tradition.

WVBR's Bound for Glory, North America's longest running live folk
concert broadcast, broadcasts live from the Cafe at Anabel Taylor Hall
at Cornell, on Sunday nights. Bound for Glory brings central New York
another series of free folk concerts, on WVBR-FM, 93.5 and 105.5. We
promise some excellent acoustic music, presented by long-time host Phil
Shapiro.

The show runs Sunday nights from 8 to 11, with live sets at 8:30, 9:30,
and 10:30. All three sets are different. Come to as many sets as you
wish. Admission in the live audience at Anabel Taylor is free and is
open to everyone in the area. Kids are always welcome. Refreshments are
available. For further information, call Phil Shapiro at 607-844-4535,
or e-mail pd...@cornell.edu.

Find out about upcoming Bound for Glory shows, and about how you can
help, through the Friends of Bound for Glory, by looking up
http://wvbr.com on the Web. Everyone can listen to Bound for Glory on
line. The website tells you how.

AUG. 31 KIM AND REGGIE HARRIS. Music in the African American folk
tradition. It's a Bound for Glory debut from this outstanding duo. They
not only sing traditional songs. They're also songwriters and social
commentators, presenting a performance of quiet power. Excellent.

SEPT. 7 CINDY KALLET AND GREY LARSEN. Another Bound for Glory debut,
from two remarkable instrumentalists and singers. You'll hear both
traditional and contemporary American dance tunes, and lovely songs,
both homemade and borrowed. Separately, Cindy and Grey have been
mainstays of the American folk scene. Together they're wonderful.

SEPT. 14 JOHN CADLEY AND THE LOST BOYS. Bluegrass. We haven't been
having enough bluegrass on Bound for Glory, but that's about to change.
John Cadley is a well respected bluegrass songwriter. The five piece
band is tight and great fun, and we're going to have a high energy, high
smiles evening.

SEPT. 21 SEAMUS KENNEDY. Welcome back this rollicking Irishman.
Seamus Kennedy sings songs in the Irish tradition, with a sprinkling of
recent material as well. His story telling and delightful good humor
are famous, and he just sparkles on the Bound for Glory stage. One of
our very best performers.

SEPT. 28 AZTEC TWO-STEP. Back about 35 years ago, Aztec Two-Step was
the hottest thing in folk rock. And they never stopped. Rex and Neal
still write super songs, and perform them with great energy and style.
There is nothing like an Aztec Two-Step evening, as we all will find out
once again. Don't miss them.

OCT. 5 ANNIE AND THE HEDONISTS. Annie and the Hedonists are four
fascinating musicians who are equally comfortable with an old Bessie
Smith tune, a country song, or a folk song. They have a fascinating and
extremely eclectic repertoire, and Annie's got a great voice. We're
delighted to welcome them back to Bound for Glory.

On OCTOBER 12,Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios, as
Cornell takes Fall Break, and the Cafe at Anabel Taylor is closed. Give
Phil a call at 607-273-2121. There will be seven more live shows in the
late Fall, starting OCTOBER 19, including visits from Sparky and Rhonda
Rucker, and Small Potatoes. Details to follow.
