On your radio March 24—Dan Duggan & Peggy Lynn

Originally broadcast 1/28/18

“They sing as though they have performed for a lifetime together.”—Buffalo Friends of Folk Music

Dan Duggan and Peggy Lynn, who often perform with Ban Berggren as the Jamcrackers, will be performing as a duo this time at Bound for Glory.

National hammered dulcimer champion Dan Duggan is known from Maine to California for his wizardry on the hammered dulcimer, flat-picking guitar, and keyboards. In addition to his extensive array of recordings, Dan’s dulcimer talents are spotlighted on Paul Simon’s Grammy-nominated album “You’re the One” and “The Paul Simon Collection”. Many of Dan’s original tunes are published in the collection “Coming Home”. Also known for his dance calling, including while accompanying himself on the hammered dulcimer.

Peggy Lynn, singer, songwriter, and educator, brings an infectious enthusiasm to all her endeavors.  With a sultry, yet powerful alto voice, Peggy gives a clear message of the passion underlying her songs. While her style and range give meaning and feeling to all her work, her most powerful message, her passion, is for the contributions and burdens of women. Peggy ranges from folksy to blues with equal ease, alone or harmonizing with others.

Peggy and Dan have released several duo recordings, including “Keeping Christmas”, “A Stitch in Time”, “Grandsongs”, “Jamcrackers”, with Dan Berggren, and “Be the Light”. Their most recent recording, released in 2013, is “Esperance”, named for their farm in Red Creek, NY.


On your radio March 31—Vance Gilbert

Originally broadcast 3/3/19

Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90’s when buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking ’em dead at open mics. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Vance started out hoping to be a jazz singer, and then discovered his affinity for the storytelling sensibilities of acoustic folk music. Once word got out about Gilbert’s stage-owning singing and playing, Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her Fat City Tour.

Noted not only for being the ever-consummate performer, Gilbert has recorded 14 albums, including 4 for Philo/Rounder Records and a duo album with friend Ellis Paul. Along with being opener of choice for artists as varied as Aretha Franklin, Arlo Guthrie, and Anita Baker, 2006 and 2007 found Gilbert opening 140+ shows for comedian George Carlin. Most recently he’s the opener of choice for Paul Reiser and The Subdudes.

Considered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene, Gilbert’s approach to the acoustic singer-songwriter idiom is significant. Gilbert’s compositions, while frequently employing sophisticated melodies and harmonies that attest to his jazz roots, remain sublime attestations to the storyteller’s craft. He even has a tune on a Grammy Nominated children’s album. How rounded is that?


On your radio April 7—Moonshine Holler

Originally broadcast 10/2/16

Moonshine Holler, the husband and wife duet of Paula Bradley and Bill Dillof, captures and preserves the spirit of American roots music: hillbilly blues, ballads, breakdowns, Carter family classics and jugband stompers. Known for their musical prowess on banjo, fiddle, guitar, Hawaiian guitar, harmonica, ukulele, kazoo, Paula and Bill are two musicians steeped in the old time traditions, performing and teaching across the country and abroad.

Paula has toured the US and Germany on banjo with old-time darlings “Uncle Earl” and teamed up with fiddle powerhouses Bruce Molsky and Brittany Haas (Crooked Still) for a tour of Sweden. Along with Bruce, she was also a member of the trio “Jawbone” featuring banjo innovator Tony Trischka and appears on Tony Trischka’s CD “Territory”, winner of the 2009 Americana Awards. She has also recorded and performed with old time trios The Rhythm Rats and The Haywire Gang (with Mac Benford). Recently she’s been piano-player for the honky tonk combo, Girl Howdy, and fronts her own jukejoint swing combo, The Twangbusters. Bill is a founding member of the legendary Canebrake Rattlers, a NYC-based string-band known for their authentic “78 rpm” sound. He has an acclaimed old-time CD “Been on the Job Too Long” recorded with Dave Rice and Joe LaRose as “The Cuyahogians”


On your radio April 14—Nate Marshall & Friends

Originally broadcast 6/30/19

Nate Marshall is a well-known local singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and member, with his wife, Kate, of the folk duo Nate & Kate.  They released their debut album, “Fame by Frame”, late in 2007.  The album garnered glowing reviews, established the duo as a household name in Ithaca, and continues to receive regular Central New York radio airplay.  In 2009, Nate & Kate hit the road playing over 150 shows on an “Eat Local Tour” of NY State farmers markets, attracting significant press along the way.

As a solo performer, Nate carries on the folk music tradition of song and storytelling with a modern twist of humor and musicianship steeped in a number of genres including swing, blues, Americana and jazz.

In addition to solo performance, Nate  is also a guitar instructor, staple of the children’s music scene in central New York as well as an accomplished juggler, known as Nate the Great.  He has toured extensively throughout the U.S. in a variety of venues from theaters to cafes and farmer’s markets to street corners.

Nate will be at Bound for Glory with some of his musician friends – who and how many to be determined. In any case, it will be a great show.


On your radio April 21—Beaucoup Blue

Originally broadcast 2/12/17

This powerful yet gentle father-and-son duo gets their audience lost in reverie with arrestingly soulful music. Their original songs blend folk, R&B, jazz, country, and bluegrass together in songs that might be classics, or might just sound like it.”  – Sarah Craig, Caffe Lena

Beaucoup Blue is the Philadelphia-based father and son duo, David and Adrian Mowry. Adrian grew up watching his father perform in coffeehouses and clubs, but discovered the guitar on his own and learned his chops in his own band. Some well-received party gigs launched them as a duo. Over the course of several albums, they have crafted original songs that pull together eclectic influences to extend the reach of Americana music. Besides being in the top 40 of Americana radio playlists, they have won first prizes in songwriting, one in Billboard Magazine’s 2010 contest, and another in the Blues & Brews Acoustic Contest in Telluride. Their voices—one, mature and mellow, the other a higher keening tenor—along with David’s plaintive slide guitar and the pulse of Adrian’s picking underscore the drama in their haunting melodies and soulful lyrics.
