Routes and Branches Play List 11/22/08

This week's show I started and ended with One Horse Shy, a band from Ashland Oregon that was playing at the Axe & Fiddle in Cottage Grove Saturday night.
The main feature of the first hour of my show was a live performance by Patrick Kaveney and the Last Drags. Patrick is a local singer song-writer who recently released his first album "Weather Or Not", which he says has a lot to do with relationships. Patrick Kaveney and the Last Drags will be performing at Cosmic Pizza on Friday, November 28th.
Next week for the holiday I will be featuring the best of the new music that I have been playing on Routes and Branches over the past year.

Routes and Branches Play List 11/15/08

This week's show featured an in studio appearance of three members of The Bridge, Cris Jacobs (Guitar), Kenny Liner (Mandolin), and Dave Markowitzt (Bass). Cris and Kenny are the founding members and primary song writers of The Bridge and have been playing together for about 7 years. Their New Album "Blind Man's Hill" they say is the best representation of their efforts of putting a band together. I must say that they sounded great in the studio as well as on stage.

I started and ended this week's show with Dave Alvin who had a birthday this past week. Happy birthday Dave.

Routes and Branches Play List 11/08/08

I started and ended this week's show with a new group called The Bridge.
The Bridge is a unique rock band from Baltimore whose music combines elements of blues and roots, spiced with funk and soul. They have recently become known coast-to-coast, and even in Europe, for their gritty and grand live performances and poignantly hand crafted albums. Following in the tradition of classic / southern roots rock, and flavoring their sound with Americana sensibilities, the band has built their own niche between the jam, country, and bluegrass genres.

The Bridge will be performing at the Fenario Gallery this coming Friday and Saturday nights. Tune into KRVM's Routes and Branches Saturday afternoon for a live in studio performance.

Other good shows to catch this week, both at the McDonald Theater, are Old Crow Medicine Show on Tuesday and Keller Williams on Thursday.

Routes and Branches Play List 10/25/08

KRVM is finishing up our fall pledge drive this week. I started the show with Okkervil River so I could talk about bring artists like Will Sheff into the studio for live interviews. Look for more guest artists on the show in the upcoming weeks.

This was a great week for live Americana music in town. Hayes Carll came to town on Wednesday night with Corb Lund opening the show. Both bands were outstanding and had Sam Bond's rocking. I mixed up a set of their music to get the show going this week.

The rest of the show was a mix of mostly new music with a few older tracks thrown in. A new artist to me this week was Jack Tempchin. I had not known of his song writing work with the Eagles and the movie industry. I look forward to featuring more of his music on Routes and Branches.

Routes and Branches Play List 10/18/08

I was happy to get back on the air this week after being out last week. My thanks go out to Shotgun Majors for sitting in for me last week. Since we started the Fall KRVM pledge drive this week I just wanted to play some of my favorite music and I barley scratched the surface of what I have been listening to this year. Rest assured that I will bring some more of my favorites to next week's show.
If you are a regular listener of Routes and Branches on KRVM I ask for you to pledge your support of the station at any amount that you can afford. Without our listeners support we could not bring you the live radio programing that KRVM brings to 24/7.
