On your radio November 1—
Ernie & Andy Lawrence
Originally broadcast 7/18/2010
“Their guitar work is versatile and intricate. They take turns leading guitar and vocals, using voices that blend like family. If you see their names anywhere, go see them.”—Sue Hengelsberg
A father-and-son duo from Perry, New York, Ernie and Andy Lawrence play music that has deep roots in blues, jazz, old country, and spirituals. They’ve been playing clubs, coffeehouses, and festivals around Western New York for the last three years.
Ernie played rock music in bands and folk music in coffeehouses in the early 1970s, and got his son started on guitar in his early teens. Andy went on to perform in bands and as a solo act around Western New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati, and they began to play together when Andy moved back to WNY in 2007.
On your radio November 8—Lloyd’s Boys
Broadcast of the Live Bound for Glory show on 10/25/2026
Ithaca-based band Lloyd’s Boys is a self-described hillbilly swing band that plays country, blues, and other genres. It is the sort of stellar band you might find gathering a crowd on the street corners of New Orleans or Memphis, playing lively music with an infectious groove. They play swing, blues, and country music from the late 1920s through the 1940s.
The band consists of Lloyd Graves (Hawaiian steel guitar, harmonicas, tenor guitar), Jerone Gagliano (fiddle, rhythm guitar), Harry Aceto (rhythm and lead guitar), Stuart Krasnoff (washboard, bells, whistles, percussion), and Dave Davies (upright bass). These boys can sing, too! Dancing encouraged.

Cosy Sheridan
Originally broadcast 1/25/2015
“…one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singer-songwriters.”
Cosy Sheridan first caught the attention of national folk audiences in 1992 when she won both the Kerrville Folk Festival’s NewFolk Award and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest. Soon after, she released her critically-acclaimed debut CD Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. Since then she’s released nine more CDs, taught songwriting at workshops and camps across the country, and written a one-woman-show entitled The Pomegranate Seed – An Exploration of Appetite, Body-Image and Myth. Cosy Sheridan is one of the most respected touring musicians on the folk circuit, appearing everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Jerry Lewis Telethon and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. For the past 18 years, she has taught classes in songwriting, performance and guitar at workshops and adult music camps across the country including The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and The Swannanoa Gathering.
Her concerts are wide-ranging explorations of modern mythology (meet Hades the Biker), love songs for adults, contemporary philosophy for the thoughtfully-minded, children’s stories woven into tales of modern adulthood, and her signature parody on aging and women. Throughout this journey, her lyrical dexterity is backed by her distinctive, percussive bluesy-gospel guitar style. Cosy brings a depth of experience to her craft. The Cornell Folksong Society wrote: “Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses myth with modern culture; Persephone with Botox.”
LIVE Bound for Glory!
Richie & Rosie
November 22, 2:00 pm
at the Lansing Area Performance Hall
“The air left the room when Richie and Rosie sang their first notes together…everyone had their breath taken away at once.”—Jen Hughes, Bluegrass Today
Richie Stearns and Rosie Newton grew up 150 miles and a few decades apart. Having originally met at Saratoga Springs’ Flurry festival, the two reunited in the Ithaca old-time scene, where Richie grew up and Rosie had moved to attend Ithaca College. During Rosie’s freshman year, they began touring together regionally as members of the Evil City String Band and eventually decided to pursue a more intimate project as a duo. In 2013 the duo released their first album, Tractor Beam, a 12-track mix of originals and classics, designed to mirror the experience of a live performance.
Richie is a well-established singer and banjo player in the Ithaca area, having performed around the world with bands like Bela Fleck, Pete Seeger, David Byrne, Billy Bragg & Wilco, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Joan Baez. Rosie, who plays fiddle, has toured with multiple bands, including an appearance while she was in high school with folk-rock band The Mammals. In 2010, she released a self-titled album as part of the duo The Pearly Snaps.
After three years of touring and writing, Richie and Rosie returned to the studio to record their second full-length album, Nowhere in Time. At a junction of Americana, old-time, and folk, the record brings a new sound to traditional music.
Come join us for Bound for Glory’s monthly live shows on the fourth Sunday of each month at 2 pm in the Lansing Area Performance Hall at 1004 Auburn Road (Route 34), North Lansing, NY. Admission—as always—is free, but we are encouraging donations for the performers.
On your radio November 22—David Roth
Originally broadcast 3/3/2013
“David has reached our hearts. With voices like his still singing, there’s a certainty that the candle will remain lit, the hope reasserted, and the dream still sung…”—Peter Yarrow
At the intersection where song, spirit, and speaking meet, David Roth writes about most everything you can imagine. He strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, sense of the hilarious, and powerful singing and subject matter.
David’s songs have found their way to Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the Kennedy Center, and the classic folk song book “Rise Up Singing.” He’s also been featured on many of Christine Lavin’s Rounder compilations, and has taught singing, songwriting, and performance at countless workshops and festivals.
