The new year has been continuing and I’ve been so grateful to have more new music come my way. As I talked about in the show, I have always been proud of the range of music that I’ve known about and enjoyed, but I’ve not been integrating a lot of new stuff recently. However, in tune with the new year and thanks to many great friends, integration has now been happening for sure. Tonight I was able to play a whole lot of new music, from the likes of Natacha Atlas, Seckou Keita, Bill Miller and Sara Tavares. Then there was also music by artists who I was familiar with name-wise, but not actually familiar with actual music wise, such as Raging Slab and Manassas.
There was also new band along with gig news as I previewed a conversation I’ll be recording with The New Mendicants on Thursday at Dingwalls in Camden. It’s a new band featuring Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub. I’ll be playing my chat with them next week, but in the meantime I played a song by them and led in with some classic Teenage Fanclub from the Grand Prix album.
