All new music from Peter Holsapple, Freedy Johnston, Jody Harris, Kate Jacobs, Dave Schramm, Peter Blegvad, Laura Cantrell w/Franklin Bruno, plus special musical guest Eric Andersen, and conversation with visual artist Fred Tomaselli

Presented by: Nicholas Hill

The Radio Free All Stars: Dave Schramm & David Mansfield

This show was recorded deep beneath the streets of Brooklyn. Eric Andersen was passing through on tour and he brought two new songs, playing guitar and piano, accompanied by David Mansfield—a musical reunion after a mere 35 years. Visual artist Fred Tomaselli came to hang out and chat about making pictures, loving music, how work starts talking back, and his retrospective at The Brooklyn Museum. Laura brought Franklin Bruno and an enchanting song they wrote together. Peter, Peter, Jody, Kate, Freedy and Dave delivered recorded/live songs from the mountains (Freedy) to the seas (Jody) with many moments of gorgeousness all around. Nick’s phone rang in the middle of the show and too bad we didn’t pick up because it was Victoria—maybe she was calling to sing us a song. Next time we’ll answer the phone.

Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby, Peter Blegvad, Peter Holsapple, Dave Schramm, Freedy Johnston, Kate Jacobs, Robin Holcomb and special guests Susan Cowsill (and her band: Russ Broussard, Mary Lassaigne, Alexis Marceaux, and Sam and Jack Craft), and Alessi’s Ark

Presented by: Nicholas Hill

The Radio Free All Stars: Dave Schramm, JD Foster, Doug Wieselman, Russ Broussard

What a night! The Chop Shop was packed with players and friends. Susan Cowsill brought a new song and she and Russ joined Peter Holsapple and the All Stars on Peter’s big-hearted sentimental journey. Alessi of Alessi’s Ark from London started her first US tour by singing a wickedly charming song on our show. Good luck Alessi! Robin Holcomb stopped by after her gig and played a new song with her old friend Doug Wieselman on bass clarinet. Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby sent their first canned club submission—a piece of theater, with many voices. Dave Schramm had the All Stars plus Susan overdub on his already beautiful track, and Kate Jacobs brought another show tune, written with Ted Reichman via file server. The Susan Cowsill Band finished up with an old Continental Drifters favorite and by then it was really late.
