Central New York musical tradition.

WVBR's Bound for Glory, North America's longest running live folk

at Cornell, on Sunday nights. Bound for Glory brings central New York

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,

line. The website tells you how.

JUNE 22 MAC BENFORD, JOHN HOFFMAN, RANDI BECKMANN AND FRIENDS.
Banjos, fiddles, guitars, and yes, keyboard, Old Timey String Band
music at its very best. Let's welcome back some of the folks who have
spread the Old Timey sound to so many people in the last few years. See
you there.

JUNE 29 TOBY WALKER. Toby Walker plays the Blues on Bound for Glory.
It's the second time around for this amazing good-humored guitarist,
yarn spinner, and wonderful character. Toby Walker plays traditional
blues and writes his own songs in an older style, with many a wry twist.
Delighted to have him back on the show.

JULY 6 JOE CROOKSTON AND FRIENDS. Joe Crookston has certainly
grabbed Ithaca's attention these last couple of years. He's a
singer-songwriter with a highly distinctive and magical guitar style.
But he's more than that. Joe Crookston is one of the most magnetic
performers we've ever had on Bound for Glory. Plus, he brings his
friends along.

JULY 13 THE SILLANPAA FAMILY, from Finland. We are so glad to have
gotten to know the Sillanpaa Family over these last few years. They
sing, mostly, in English, writing and sharing songs with an American
Country flavor. The harmonies are tight. The instrumentals are of the
very best. And they're completely charming.

JULY 20 DAVID OLNEY AND SERGIO WEBB. David Olney is a
singer-songwriter from Nashville who can best be described as... Fierce.
His amazing songs grab you, and bring you down beneath the surface of
the world, to show you what's really happening. A magnificent
performer. And Sergio Webb plays a rockin' guitar.

JULY 27 MICHAEL JERLING. Michael Jerling's been writing and
performing for a quite a few years now, writing songs that are full of
surprises. Michael calls his songs "Little Movies", small slices of
life that get to the core of his memorable characters. It's been too
long. Welcome him back to Bound for Glory.

From AUGUST 3rd through the 24th, Bound for Glory will be Albums from
the Studios, as Cornell resumes its Summer Break, and the Cafe at
Anabel Taylor, is closed. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. The 42nd
year of WVBR's Bound for Glory starts on August 31st.
