This is a show with a split personality. The first hour is devoted to music of the sea, then there’s an instrumental bridge and then an hour of bluegrass, including tracks from three Connecticut bands. Canada’s Tom Lewis and Shipping News are appearing in the region this weekend. The Charles Sawtelle “tribute” album is one of the finest and most moving bluegrass albums released this year. Artist
