May 6 Show - Red Haired Strangers - Upcoming

2008-05-02T23:40:00.002-04:00

These guys are a combination of Roots-Rock/Country/Delta Blues and a bunch of other things.

One thing's for sure ... we'll be enjoying their live set on May 6, 8-10pm as always.

May 5 Show - Katie Haverly - upcoming

2008-05-02T23:28:00.005-04:00

Yes, a Monday show. The host of Stormy Monday Blues at WRPI has graciously allowed me to fill-in for his show (I did it once in the past, but the waiting list is fierce!).

So, I'll be bringing Katie Haverly and her band on for a live show. Metroland (a local alt-newspaper) labeled her best singer/songwriter of 2002, and best female vocalist in 2003. I think you'll agree after the show that she hasn't been asleep for the past 5yrs... ;-)

This is going to be a lot of fun.

More on this after the show. Monday night, May 5, 8-10pm.......

Mop & Bucket Theater Co. show on April 29

2008-05-02T23:25:00.003-04:00

Well, live comedic improvisational theater on air! If you were listening, you probably had more than a few laughs at the science-based version of Mop & Bucket Co's "Spontaneous Broadway."

It was a lot of fun & especially when they went all "foley" on us... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_artist)

:-D

Electric City Horns show on April 22

2008-05-02T23:23:00.002-04:00

Well, they were just great! A lot of energy and the sound was really good.

A very nice group of folks to have on the show for rock band #2.

There's a new album in the works for these guys also, so I'll hazard a guess they'll be back on sometime next winter.

:-)

April 22 Live Musical Guests - Electric City Horns

2008-04-20T16:38:00.003-04:00

Stay tuned for the Electric City Horns on Tuesday, April 22nd.

They'll be live in the studio, 8-10pm.

If you've been hankering for some 70s style horn-driven rock! ;-) Here's your chance to hear them at 91.5 FM (in a 70mi radius from Troy, NY), or on http://www.wrpi.org/listen

Alta Mira show on April 15

2008-04-20T16:35:00.002-04:00

Alta Mira was great on Tax Day! A very nice group of guys to have on as the 1st rock band on my show.

They'll be back on WRPI sometime in the Fall, probably, when they have their new CD finished.

Should be fun

April 8 Afterthoughts

2008-04-20T16:29:00.003-04:00

So, there was a lot of good feedback on the show focusing on the music of Pink Martini.

I'm glad. It'll make it easier to talk them into playing somewhere in this area. :-)

Keep your eyes open! Maybe they'll come and play at Monday Nights in the Washington Park... ;-)

April 8 Playlist

2008-04-09T00:11:00.003-04:00

Tonight's show focused on the music of the West Coast band, Pink Martini.

I don't have the playlist with me (it's out in my car!). I'll post this tomorrow.

Live music thoughts

2008-04-02T21:07:00.004-04:00

Well, not to get all sentimental, but I have been feeling really extraordinarily lucky in the quality and temperament of the musicians who have been willing to come and play live on Dusty Corners.

We have no budget for music. We are often many many miles from convenient for our guests. And heck! It's on a Tuesday!!! :-)

Despite all that, we have been fortunate. Thanks everyone! (you know who you are)

While I'm thinking about this, Katie Haverly will be performing live on the show with her band on May 5 (yes, a Monday!). On May 6th we'll have a special surprise. Keep your fingers crossed. ;-)

Upcoming Shows - April 8, 15, 22

2008-04-02T07:48:00.004-04:00

April 8th's show will focus on the music of the band Pink Martini.

The special live guest for April 15th's show is the local rock band, Alta Mira.

The special live guest for April 22nd's show is the local rock band, Electric City Horns.

Stay tuned. :-)

These shows will all be great.

Oh. I almost forgot to mention -- we'll be having live studio audiences on the 15th and 22nd.

March 18 Show

2008-03-26T22:18:00.003-04:00

I just realized that I forgot to say anything about last week's musical guests, the Ramblin Jug Stompers.

They were great! :-) We were all pretty sad when they climbed back into their boxcar and set off on the rails once again.

No jug jokes though... :(

Maybe next time.

;-)

March 25th Show

2008-03-26T22:09:00.007-04:00

Hi All:

Last night's musical act was Yuko Kishimoto, a jazz pianist who led a trio playing her own original music.

Yuko is a local Capital Region musician who moved to New York State from Michigan.

The show was a lot of fun and a lot of good music went down.

Yuko plays infrequently in the live venues around the area, but you can also hear her music played by Keith Pray's Big Soul Ensemble -- an 18 piece big band that plays every 1st Monday of the month at Lark Tavern in Albany, and pops up in all sorts of other places. (I heard a rumor that she plays every 5th Sunday at Justin's in Albany during brunch.)

No more live bands until Tax Day, April 15th.

I do have a special show coming up for April Fool's Day though.

March 15 comment; March 18 Live show

2008-03-17T22:06:00.002-04:00

Hi All:

No doubt a few folks were confused about my saying March 15 was Saint Patrick's Day. :-) That was the day we celebrated it in Upstate New York.

Anyway, My guests tomorrow night are the Ramblin Jug Stompers. They have a strong web presence, so I won't bother saying much about them other than they are going to be awesome fun.

See you tomorrow.
