Songs Of The Sea

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

It’s an entire night of sea music on Profiles in Folk. The emphasis is on performers who will be appearing at the upcoming Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival (The Johnson Girls, Larry Kaplan, Forebitter, John Roberts), but also includes some old favorites. One special set featured two pieces from Celtic music great Andy Irvine who will be appearing here at Sacred Heart University on June 9 only a stone’s throw from WSHU’s on-air studios. Through the generosity of The Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society and Tim Quinn, we were able to have listeners view for tickets to the show.
