Good morning, music lovers! We have a busy Friday on tap for you all today with a great collection of artists sprinkeled into our big, wide Open Stream.
Here’s your musical lineup:
9:00 a.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Elvis Costello FINAL AIRING!
Elvis Costello takes his final turn as this week’s featured singer-songwriter. We’ll have a new artist for you on Monday.
12:00 p.m. The Band Live at The Casino Arena, Asbury Park, NJ, July 20, 1976
The Band is very simply one of the best ever bands on the popular music scene. They started as Bob Dylan’s back-up band and became one of the most influential musical entities of their time. If we added a new House Band, it would be these guys.
4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of John Prine
We’re dusting this baby off as we have been remiss. Mr. Prine is one fine singer-songwriter and a man who is most respected by his peers. He always had a unique outlook on life and his wry and sometimes sarcastic viewpoints were part of his charm.
8:00 p.m. Joni Mitchell Live at the Santa Barbara Bowl, Santa Barbara, CA, September 9, 1979
We close things out by taking a trip back with Joni Mitchell to her 1979 Shadows and Light Tour. I was lucky enough to see that tour as it passed through Boston.
We have a great lineup today as we toy with expanding programming and, perhaps, even into the wee hours of the morning. It’s a work in progress. One thing that will not change, however, is the fact that we are totally free 24/7 with no commercial interruptions.
