The focus of three-quarters of this show rests firmly on selections from just some of the artists appearing at the 9th Annual Huntington Folk Festival this Saturday in Long Island’s Heckscher Park. The festival features an afternoon of unplugged showcases and song swaps from noon to 6 p.m. hosted by acquaintances Richard Cuccaro and Michael Kornfeld, a hootenanny tribute to Pete Seeger at 8 p.m. and festival headliner Bobtown at 8:30 p.m.
Two recent events led to the opening 30 minutes of bluegrass from of the archives from Northern Lights and Seldom Scene: I caught the group Barnstar at last week’s Green River Festival. Members of the group include Taylor Amerding and his son Jake. Taylor was one of the leading lights in Northern Lights and it’s where Jake, who has gone on to a very successful career as a singer/songwriter and musician, launched his professional career. A few days later Phil Rosenthal sent a note out that included news about a new You Tube video from the days when he was the lead singer and guitarist with Seldom Scene.
