About Festival Radio
It's like a music festival without all the sweaty people and overpriced vegetarian food.
Like the water, my definition of folk music is wide. I start with the instruments and music of the people (fiddle, acoustic guitar, banjo, accordion, etc.) and explore these folk roots wherever they take me, whether it's a singer/songwriter armed with an acoustic guitar and a message for the world, take-no-prisoners bluegrass picking, Celtic pipes and fiddles, the jangle-pop of the Kennedys or the Byrds, the folk/rock of Fairport Convention or Pentangle, the technofolk of Afro Celt Sound System, some accordion from the bayou or the angelic sacred harp singing of Anonymous 4.
It's a freeform ride, so prepare to be have your horizons expanded.
I'm always open to playing new artists, particularly underpublicized indie singer/songwriters. I have nearly 30 hours of tunes in rotation at any time, so there's plenty of variety.
Please check out my home page, and for more pithy wisdom and listings of new adds with occasional capsule reviews, check out the FolkBlog.
Festival Radio is also now on Myspace.com as well as Facebook.
