WVBR'S BOUND FOR GLORY, 43rd YEAR, WINTER 2010

Phil Shapiro, host of WVBR's Bound for Glory since its inception in
1967, announces the Winter schedule, continuing the 43rd 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, and
streaming on line at http://wvbr.com . 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.

help, by joining the Friends of Bound for Glory. Look up

JAN. 24 JOE CROOKSTON AND THE BLUEBIRD JAMBOREE, with Peter
Glanville. Joe Crookston is one fine songwriter, and one magical
performer. He's one of the best things to happen to the Ithaca music
scene in recent years. His guitar playing is imaginative and flexible,
his songs tell great stories, and he just sparkles. Don't miss this
show. http://joecrookston.com

JAN.31 LEE KNIGHT. Please welcome traditional mountain music
performer Lee Knight, up from the mountains. Which mountains, you ask?
Well, nowadays he hails from Western North Carolina, but he grew up in
the Adirondacks. Let's just call it mountain music. Banjos and
dulcimers, stories and songs. Delightful. http://leeknightmusic.com

FEB. 7 TRAONACH (tray-knock). Welcome back Traonach, the Ithaca
area's wonderful traditionally oriented Celtic band. They arose from
the Ithaca Irish Session, and now they take their music all over the
place. Fiddle and accordion, concertina and bouzouki and percussion.
Lively tunes and excellent songs. http://www.myspace.com/traonach

FEB. 14 MUSTARD'S RETREAT. By now they're old friends of Bound for
Glory, past winners of the Best of Bound for Glory award. Mustard's
Retreat is living room music writ large. They're comfortable companions
for an evening, good songwriters, humorists, yarn spinners. In from
Michigan. http://mustardsretreat.com

FEB. 21 MARK ERELLI. It's been too many years. It'll be the second
live Bound for Glory show for Mark Erelli, a contemporary acoustic
singer songwriter with a knack for telling stories in his songs. He's an
excellent writer whose songs have strength and power, and an excellent
performer as well. http://markerelli.com

FEB. 28 JIM GAUDET AND THE RAILROAD BOYS. They look like a bluegrass
band, and to some extent they sound like a bluegrass band. But Jim
Gaudet is a fine and quirky songwriter, covering a lot of ground in his
songs, and his band is a strong accompaniment, full of good energy.

MAR. 7 SEAMUS KENNEDY. Seamus Kennedy is a Bound for Glory favorite
who has been on the show several times. He sings the music of his
native Ireland... and a surprising amount of other stuff as well. He's
both charismatic and very funny, and will grab and hold everyone's
attention all evening long. Superb. http://www.mcnote.com/seamus

MAR. 14 BREAD AND BONES. Been trying for a while to set up a date
with this talented and flexible Vermont-based trio. Homemade songs that
feel like they are part of the folk tradition, and real traditional
songs as well, performed with verve and excellent harmonies.

On MARCH 21 and 28, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios.
Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. Later on this Spring: PEARLS AND
SWINE, JEFF DAVIS AND DAVE RUCH, DAN BERGGREN and more.
