Forging New Links On the Folk Chain

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

During the past decade, many of us in the folk community rightly hailed the infusion into the folk and acoustic music performing ranks of much fresh, young blood. These are mostly youthful performers who've taken the music in new directions while respecting its traditional roots. Performers such as Tim Eriksen, Abigail Washburn, Crooked Still, Old Crow Medicine Show, the Duhks, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Uncle Earl, Olabelle, the Crooked Jades and oh so many others deserve our accolades and support. Their music is now inspiring others to forge new pathways. This show, the first of several this spring, celebrates a small slice of these newcomers and illustrates that the future of folk and acoustic music is bright.
