Great New Acoustic Music
On Pastures of Plenty this week (January 24, 2024) we feature some great new music from Toronto. With a lineup that includes standup bass, fiddle and hypnotic banjo (and no guitar!!), the Lonesome Ace Stringband combines an old time stringband sensibility with compelling original material. We showcase their latest album, "Try To Make It Fly" as well as their latest single "Praying for Rain", which documents the devastating Canadian wildfires. In addition, we've got a couple of tunes from banjoist Kelly Hunt's "Ozark Symphony", one of the most well-rounded albums of Folk music to appear in the past year. Out of Nashville comes Erin Rae, with her great new album "Lighten Up", including a duet with Kevin Morby called "Can't See the Stars".
So tune in and check it out. (Wednesday, January 24th 5:30 am to 7:00 am on KBOO.FM and on the FM dial at 90.7). The show will be available to stream on the KBOO website after airing.
There's folk music every Monday through Friday morning from 5:30 till 7:00 on KBOO 90.7, followed by news Democracy Now. There's also folk music on KBOO Fridays from noon to 1:30 Movin' On.
