Bryan Bowers
We end our 35th year of Bound for Glory with one of
America's finest folksingers, Bryan Bowers, widely
acknowledged as America's finest Autoharp performer, a
charming storyteller, a powerful singer. We've been
talking about this date for about 20 years, and it's
finally going to happen. What a marvelous end to an
incredible year. Please join us.

Kevin So
Want some blues? How 'bout some R&B? How 'bout some homemade
songs about the Asian-American experience? How 'bout a
performer definitely different from any others you've heard?
Please welcome Kevin So to Bound for Glory. You'll be glad you
did.

Darryl Purpose
If you were going to list the important singer-songwriters of
the present era, surely you'd have to include Darryl Purpose,
who takes as his starting point a very unusual biography, and
goes on to tell musical stories old and new, with a delightful
cast of characters. A charming performer.

The McKrells
Imagine a rare musical intersection, where Bluegrass meets
Celtic, where hot fiddling meets wild percussion, and you have
just started to describe the McKrells, an intense six piece band
of high energy and large imagination. Make them welcome on
their Bound for Glory debut.
|

30-Jun-2002 |
Four Shillings Short
Four Shillings Short is a strange and wonderful neo-Celtic duo.
He's from Ireland, She's from California. They play many, many
instruments, including Sitar (!), on a wide variety of songs
that you'll never look at in the same way again. What a
delight!!!
|
|
23-Jun-2002 |
John Specker
Who'd a thunk that one guy and one fiddle could make so much
music. Let's welcome back John Specker, one man Old Timey band,
a man of boundless energy, and excellent tunes and songs from
the American folk tradition. John's a former Ithacan, from a
long time ago, and very welcome back to this town and to Bound
for Glory.

Joel Mabus
We've wanted to get Joel Mabus on the Bound for Glory show
for many, many years. Some of his music is age-old, some
brand new. His humor is sly, his hot licks are classy, and
his show is straight out Magic. What a great end to an
excellent Springtime. |
|
28-Apr-2002 |
The Dady Brothers
John and Joe Dady call themselves "Irish-American City
Boys, Singing from the Heart", and that about sums them up.
They sing songs from all over, always with a bunch of Irish
creations, old and new. At the end of the evening, you're
sure to have a big smile on your face. |
|
21-Apr-2002 |
Dana Robinson
Dana Robinson is a super traditionally-flavored fiddler and
guitarist, except the music he's doing is mostly not
traditional at all. Dana is one of the few contemporary
songwriters whose songs are placed squarely in the grand
American folk tradition. Plus he's a delight on stage.
Welcome him back. |
|
14-Apr-2002 |
Eric Andersen
Yes that Eric Andersen. The fellow who wrote
"Thirsty Boots" and "Violets of Dawn". Eric has been living
in Norway for a great long time, and is once again touring
in the U.S. His recent writing and singing are strong and
sturdy. For almost 40 years, he's been writing powerful
music. Don't miss this show. |
|
07-Apr-2002 |
Mac Benford and friends
No, of course we don't know who will be in the band that
night. But Mac has never let us down, over many decades.
We'll have us an evening of foot stompin' Old Timey tunes
and songs, from the sentimental to the downright silly, from
the Old Timey master himself, and a bunch of good
friends. |
March 2002 |
31-Mar-2002 |
Heidi Muller
Welcome back Heidi Muller, excellent, gentle songwriter,
and remarkable mountain dulcimer player (guitar, too).
Heidi has a lovely voice, and a very plain, straightforward
approach to her music. There's no attempt at glitz and
glamour, just straight, honest modern folk music. |

Broadside Electric
Welcome back Broadside Electric, following in the footsteps
of Fairport Convention. English-style electric folk at its
best. Traditional ballads given unexpected twists and
turns. This will be a high energy, intense, wonderful
performance, by some folks who really know how to play
music. |
|
03-Mar-2002 |
Jay Smar w/ Bob Haffly
Been trying to get this show together for a decade or so.
Jay is a traditionally oriented folksinger from the coal
fields of Pennsylvania, and Bob contributes some fine banjo
playing. Expect some old timey tunes, including some old
chestnuts, and some new songs as well. |
February 2002 |
24-Feb-2002 |
Mike Agranoff
Take two for Mike Agranoff, who became ill and had to
cancel his show last October. Long a Bound for Glory
favorite, Mike Agranoff is known for his humorous
recitations and dreadful parodies, but he's also superb at
presenting an ancient ballad or an old time gospel song.
Mike is a remarkable one-of-a-kind entertainer. |
|
17-Feb-2002 |
Sadie Green Sales Ragtime Jugband
Over the years, Sadie Green Sales has appeared on Bound for
Glory many times, bringing the entire hardware orchestra
with them. From the musical saw to the tuned six-pack,
this amazing duo sparkles with fun. A guaranteed smile on
a February night. |
|
10-Feb-2002 |
Les Sampou
Welcome back Les Sampou. Les has gone back to her blues
roots on her most recent album, and she's got the chops to
pull it off. She is also a fine songwriter, and we'll have
an exciting evening, full of contrasts, from this rising
star of the folk world. Don't miss her. |
|
03-Feb-2002 |
Delaney Brother Bluegrass
There's a lot of bluegrass in this part of the world, and
the Delaney Brothers are by any measure at the top of the
pyramid. Their music is part way between traditional
bluegrass and newgrass. Their harmonies and instrumental
abilities are superb. Best of all, though, they're a lot of
fun. |
January 2002 |
27-Jan-2002 |
Akire Bubar
There's a wonderful revival of traditionally oriented folk
music going on beneath the radar among younger folk
performers. Akire Bubar brings a beautiful voice and a
charming approach to her music, and her songs, old and new,
are strong and worthy. This will be a fine Bound for Glory
debut. |
|
20-Jan-2002 |
Bill Staines
Can't think of a better way to start our live broadcast for
2002, than with our old friend Bill Staines. Bill is a
performer of great magic, whose songs have long gone before
him, becoming new standards within the folk repertoire.
Expect to do a lot of singing along on choruses during this
very special evening. |

Michael Jerling
We'll end our season in fine style with an old friend, Michael
Jerling. Michael is a delight, a singer and songwriter with an
ironic attitude, great bluesy guitar chops, and wonderful
stories to tell. Make sure to be part of the live audience on
the last show of '01. |
|
02-Dec-2001 |
The Diamondback Rattlers
Take a traditionally oriented bluegrass band, add some
surprises, and really good comedy, and you've got the
Diamondback Rattlers. Tasty hot licks, terrible jokes, lots of
fun. Check out their new album, recorded live on... Bound for
Glory, last time they were on the show. |

18-Nov-2001 |
Mike Seeger
Mike Seeger is one of the most important people in the strong,
vibrant revival of American Old Time mountain music. He has
passed along a tremendous amount of music to another generation,
so the old time tunes still live today. It's been a couple of
decades since he's been on the show. He's a wonderful
performer, and this time around will be joined by the Original
Fat City Stringband. And, yes, he's Pete's half brother. |
|
11-Nov-2001 |
Pat Humphries
Pat Humphries is a political singer in the very best sense of
the word. Her voice is wonderful, her social commentary is to
the point and powerful, and many of her songs have become
anthems. Her music is simple, direct, and important. What a
treat to have her back on the show after too many years. |
|
04-Nov-2001 |
Bill Morrissey
We've been wanting to book Bill Morrissey into Bound for Glory for
many many years now. He's a pretty famous guy, an exciting
singer and songwriter who is alternately both incredibly funny,
and incredibly perceptive. This will be one of the best shows
of this or any other year. |
October 2001 |
28-Oct-2001 |
Joe LaMay and Sherri Reese, with Genesee Rose
Joe and Sherri and their band are fun, fine homemade music,
Rochester style. This is a kind of Bound for Glory show that we
don't do very often these days: a bunch of folks who just love
to make music together. They'll be glad to share their music
with you. |
|
21-Oct-2001 |
Michael McNevin
It's been way, way too long. Michael McNevin's from
California, and we don't get to see him often. He's a
songwriter who brings us inside life's tiny stories in a way
that almost nobody else can. In an era when most songs are
written about relationships, Michael is a well-hidden
treasure. |
|
14-Oct-2001 |
Mike Agranoff
Long a Bound for Glory favorite, Mike Agranoff is known for
his humorous recitations and dreadful parodies, but he's
also top notch at presenting an ancient ballad or an old
time gospel song. Mike has been on the circuit for decades,
and is a remarkable one-of-a-kind entertainer. Up from New
Jersey. |

30-Sep-2001 |
Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer
Who's making waves in the folk world in year 2001? Dave
Carter and Tracy Grammer, captivating audiences everywhere.
They call it Postmodern Mythic American Folk. Heavily
influenced by the American folk tradition, their songs have
a timeless quality that differentiates them from most
singer-songwriters. From Oregon. A major treat. |
|
23-Sep-2001 |
Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen
By now I guess we can call Steve and Cindy old friends of
Bound for Glory. Their gorgeous songs, old and new, their
sly humor, their wonderful choruses, always make their
appearances memorable. From Vermont. Right up there at
the top of the Bound for Glory all time list. |
|
16-Sep-2001 |
Chris Smither
It's been many, many years. Welcome back Chris Smither,
one of the best musicians on the whole national folk scene.
Chris Smither is heavily influenced by the blues and rags
and good time songs of a long time ago, and takes the ideas
a whole lot further with his good humored, jivey
songwriting and hot blue guitar. |
|
09-Sep-2001 |
Y'ALL
Old Time Country music for the 21st Century. Y'ALL is Jay
Byrd and Steven, writing and singing in the styles of the
great "Brothers Acts" of the early 20th Century...complete
with the Lucky Green Dress. If you don't know Y'ALL, you
don't know what's about to hit you. Funny, poignant, and
very, very different. Surely a great show. |
|
02-Sep-2001 |
Eddy Lawrence
What a fine way to start our 35th year. Eddy Lawrence, who
hails from the Canadian border, has a sense of humor that's
different from yours. His songs are wild and wondrous flights
of fancy, backed by great guitar chops. Eddy Lawrence is a total
delight, and we're looking forward to his much-requested return. |
