Michael Johnathon
Michael Johnathon is on the traditional side of folk,
having cut his musical teeth in the hamlet of Mousie,
in the hills of eastern Kentucky.
He still comes from Kentucky, and his music is moving
back toward the folk tradition.
He'll play us some banjo as well as guitar, and we'll have
a great end to our summer season, and Bound for Glory's 30th year.

Anne Hills
WVBR's Bound for Glory is pleased and proud to welcome back
Anne Hills, one of America's best folksingers, performing
everything from a traditional ballad to her own beautiful,
folk-inflected homemade songs. Come early to get a good seat.
|
|
20-July-1997 |
Paul Wilder
Nearly every cut on Paul Wilder's debut CD is top-notch.
His wry sense of humor fills his music with strange and
wonderful twists and turns.
A performer worth catching right now, while you can.
|
|
13-July-1997 |
Jim Henry
Jim Henry's Bound for Glory debut is almost anticlimactic,
having been in the works for literally years.
Jim is an incredibly hot guitarist, playing not only his own
instrumentals, but some of the best traditionally flavored tunes.
Plus he's a top notch songwriter and a dynamic performer.
A great treat.
|
|
06-July-1997 |
Greg Greenway
You owe it to yourself to join us as WVBR's Bound for Glory
welcomes back Greg Greenway, one of the country's best,
and best known, contemporary acoustic performers.
Greg's excellent contemporary writing fits well with
his high-energy, wide open performance style.
|
June 1997 |
29-June-1997 |
Andrew Lawrence
Andrew Lawrence comes our way from Baltimore.
He's an unusual singer-songwriter: powerful, gritty, sometimes
quite funny. Definitely NOT a writer of love songs.
A great way to start Bound for Glory's summer season.

Nightingale
This Vermont-based trio features music from Quebec, Newfoundland,
Ireland, France, Scandinavia, New England, and beyond,
with a core of fiddle, accordian, and guitar, and the unrelenting
rhythm of French Canadian foot percussion.
A combination not to be missed.
|
April 1997 |
27-Apr-1997 |
Armor and Sturtevant
These guys are so much fun. Kelly and Dave come from
the folk music mecca of Erie, PA.
Their collection of instruments ranges from guitar to bass flute
to African instruments, and their music shows influences from all over.
"Unique" was coined for these two. |
|
20-Apr-1997 |
Bill Staines
It's easy to run out of superlatives in describing
New Hampshire's Bill Staines.
His songs have travelled before him into the hearts and
repertoires of folk music lovers across North America.
His performances define what is the best about Bound for Glory.
Come early to get a seat. |
|
13-Apr-1997 |
Rod MacDonald
Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Shanachie recording artist, Rod
MacDonald performs songs to stir the heart, mind, and soul,
including "American Jerusalem" and "The Way to Calvary." His
songs and his performance are full of humor and power, and,
occasionally, politics. |
|
06-Apr-1997 |
Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen
Two of Bound for Glory's favorite performers return to captivate
their long-time fans and first-time listeners with warm
harmonies, moving lyrics, and inspired playing. A special evening
at the Cafe! |
March 1997 |
30-Mar-1997 |
Lydia Adams Davis
Family entertainer, recording artist, singer/songwriter, Lydia
Adams Davis weaves her beautiful voice with captivating melodies
bringing joy to audiences of all ages. Be on hand for a truly
memorable show. |

Lui Collins
Lui Collins is one of our finest singer-songwriters. Very
perceptive, powerful, and sometimes quite funny, she brings us
some important truths in her music. Welcome her to her first
Bound for Glory appearance. |
|
02-Mar-1997 |
Mark Rust
Mark is an Ithaca favorite. Many of his best known songs were
written while he lived in Ithaca, and it's great fun to have him
return to Bound for Glory. He'll be full of new stories to
tell, and he's celebrating the release of his first CD. |
February 1997 |
23-Feb-1997 |
Heidi Muller
This gentle performer, on mountain dulcimer and guitar, is one of
America's finest folk-oriented songwriters. Her
songs have been picked up by many other performers. She lives in
Seattle and very seldom comes east. This show should be a
major treat. |
|
16-Feb-1997 |
Lorraine and Bennett Hammond
A few of you remember Lorraine Lee, now Hammond, one of America's
finest mountain dulcimer players. A few more of you
might remember Bennett Hammond, outstanding finger-style
guitarist and long ago Ithacan. Together they're an
extraordinary, lively duo, on the traditional side of folk. |
|
02-Feb-1997 |
Mac Benford and Friends
We never know who's playing in the band until the night of the
show, but we do know that Mac brings us only the best old
timey music to be found in these, or, really, any parts. Mac's
old time banjo playing is just plain wonderful, and he's
a superb entertainer as well. |
January 1997 |
26-Jan-1997 |
Tony Bird
Tony Bird comes to us from Malawi in southern Africa. He's
white, but his music reflects the cultures that
surrounded him when he was young. He's an unusual
singer-songwriter who grows on you. Very charming and
magical. |
|
19-Jan-1997 |
John Kirk and Trish Miller
It's been way too long. John and Trish bring back their mix of
old time and contemporary folk. John plays hot fiddle and
guitar, Trish adds old time banjo, and maybe even a little
clogging. Bound for Glory favorites. |

Eddy Lawrence
Eddy is a very funny man with one of the most unusual points of
view of any singer-songwriter you've ever heard. |
|
17-Nov-96 |
Janne Henshaw
It's taken a long time to get this show to happen, and it'll be
well worth the wait. Janne writes with a country twang, and she
writes songs that you can really believe. |
|
10-Nov-96 |
Cormac McCarthy
Of all the folksingers and songwriters we've had on Bound for
Glory in recent years, few have generated as much interest as
this fellow from New Hampshire, who writes about the fading towns
of New England in a way that tells you, Yes, he's been
there. |
|
03-Nov-96 |
Amy Gallatin and Stillwaters
This trio is not quite a bluegrass band. But they can pick and
sing with the best of them, and Amy's collection of songs from
all over can't be beat. |
October 1996 |
27-Oct-96 |
Skip Gorman
Skip Gorman is a cowboy singer, a rare treat in this current age.
His repertoire consists mainly of traditional American songs of
the Wide Open Spaces. And he's a super traditional fiddler as
well. |
|
20-Oct-96 |
Michael Jerling
Welcome back Michael Jerling, a wonderful storyteller whose
poignant lyrics and bluesy, occasionally jazzy melodies have made
him well known to Bound for Glory listeners for many years. |

Small Potatoes
It's the second time around on WVBR's Bound for Glory for this
outstanding, eclectic Illinois-based duo. Come enjoy their close
harmonies and their hot licks, but you probably can't fit them
into a category. |
September 1996 |
29-Sep-96 |
Pete Nelson
What, you haven't heard Pete Nelson? Well, neither have we,
except on CD, which is most fine. Pete Nelson is taking the
contemporary singer-songwriter world by storm with his powerful
songs and skewed perspective. This should be a very exciting
Bound for Glory evening.
|
|
22-Sep-96 |
John Danaher and Acoustic Merge
Featuring the return of Doug Robinson. The area's music scene has
been graced with the arrival of an outstanding contemporary
acoustic songwriter and folksinger, John Danaher. His band is
very fine, and has included Doug Robinson, who will be making a
brief return to Ithaca that includes this show. |
|
15-Sep-96 |
Pint and Dale
Will Pint and Felicia Dale hail from Seattle. Their specialty is
songs of the sea. Their style is contemporary. A fascinating mix.
A long awaited Bound for Glory debut. |
|
08-Sep-96 |
Mike Agranoff
Mike is a folksinger. That is, he gathers songs old and new,
serious and humorous, and puts his own imprint upon them. And
then he writes recitations... the Ballad of Jake and 10-ton
Molly... the Sandman. |
|
01-Sep-96 |
Jeff Wilkinson
WVBR's Bound for Glory kicks off its 30th season with
ornery songwriter and storyteller Jeff Wilkinson, whose view of
the world is not only powerful, but sometimes quite funny as
well. Join us as we make a big deal of the 30th season of North
America's longest-running live folk concert broadcast. |
