Duets capture the lion’s share of programming for this Profiles in Folk, although we finish up with a bit of bluegrass. Barry and Holly Tashian grew up in Westport, adjacent to the town in which WSHU Public Radio is located. Aztec Two-Step (Neal Shulman and Rex Fowler) are in town for a “Simon and Garfunkle Songbook” concert this weekend. And Still On The Hill (Kelly Mullhollan and Donna Stjerna) treat us to a really creative CD that explodes with real stories about the Ozarks. For good measure, throw in a few duets from a benefit disc from Compass, “Wells for Zoe”, to aid a part of the African nation of Malawi.
The night closed with young mandolin virtuoso Sierra Hull, who’s appearing in our broadcast area, and super picker David Grier.
