Interviews & Sessions
-
We went to NERFA 2025 (the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance) conference. We got to meet up with numerous folks in the folk community, including Rachael Sage whose new album, "Canopy" had just come out. Rachael and Trina played us a couple songs live in the room, and Rachael discussed the new album with me. -
We know Carolyn Shapiro for her amazing banjo playing, her songs and wonderful voice. But her day job has been very stressful of late. She works at Comfort Food Community in Greenwich. They're out on the front lines of the current issue of food insecurity, helping people in Washington county to stay as well-fed as possible. -
Dave Maswick & Joel Brown give us a very special album filled with their interpretations of The Beatles on "Cover Soul." Their Beatle Caffe show (both early and late) is sold out, but you can still watch on Caffe Lena TV. -
Kendra is releasing her new EP today (11/5)! "Music for Smoking Weed With Your Bra Off" is the name of the EP, and it is how she describes her music. -
No One You Know presents the anniversary of the fun show celebrating amazing women in pop music. -
Reality Distortion is Linnea and Devon, a sister-brother act that make some really cool music. Hear all about them, and a few cool stripped down covers in this session. -
Carmen Lookshire shares her new album, “2020 Vision." -
We sat down with Francis Davies to chat about his music. He played us a few songs in the session recorded at Caffe Lena, as well. -
Ruth Theodore's album "Cactacus" celebrates is 9th anniversary. Ruth spoke with me about the album, and where she was when she made it. -
Cole Quest is more than just Woody Guthrie's grandson. He is straight up music! Steeped in the NYC bluegrass circuit (you read that right), Cole and his bandmates, The City Pickers, dropped by to show us their stuff. Check out the latest album, "Homegrown."
