skyhook - "Wedding at the Mill/The Trippers" Euterpe Archipelago - "Honte" Sam Phillips - "Wasting My Time" Vanessa Rossetto - "Snow Snow Snow Smothering the Mountain" Hello everyone, skyhook is a collaboration of two fiddlers and a guitarist from Sheffield, England. They play traditional tunes and songs from Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton Island, plus some original tunes as well. The piece included here features fiddler Cath James' original piece "Wddding At the Mill." Euterpe Archiplago is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Clay Corrello - a sound artist out of Muskegon, Michigan. This project fuses electronica with the warmth of acoustic instruments and the recitation of classics of world literature. Modern, highbrow, vaguely Bohemian. A very interesting mix to say the least! Sam Phillips is a popular singer/songwriter - perhaps known most for the songs she has contributed to the WB Network sitcom Gilbmore Girls . In my opinion, she should be equally as well-known for her recurring use of strings in her popular work (her album Cruel Inventions features a string quartet on nearly every track). Her new album Don't Do Anything will be coming out in June featuring Eric Gorfain of The Section Quartet. This is from her 2000 disc, Fan Dance. Closing things out is experimental violinist Vanessa Rossetto from Austin, Texas. A prolific artist, she has already released three recordings since the start of 2008. With styles that range from free-improv to multi-layered sound sculpture, she will be someone to watch in coming years. This piece is from her 2008 disc Whoreson in the Wilderness.

Edgar Gabriel's String Fusion - "Blue 7" Willard Morris - "Teen Town" Twisted Ph8 - "Theft at Whitley Bay" Mark Allender - "The Last Supper" Hello everyone, This show comes to you during the not-so-well reported-in-the-national-press Ohio Blizzard of March 2008. Thank god for the internet's all's I gots to say - else I'd be bored outta my mind! I am also pleased to report that the show makes an appearance in the Spring 2008 issue of Fiddler Magazine - on newsstands now! Leading the charge this time thru is jazz violinist Edgar Gabriel and his group String Fusion. This seven-piece group has a clear, clean sound that dips into different styles at every turn. They are currently supporting their cleverly-titled disc Not Radio Material from which this cut is taken. Willard Morris returns to the show with a Bowed Radio exlclusive: a viola-and-bass arrangement of the Jaco Pastorius "Teen Town." His arrangement pretty well speaks for itself. Incredible. Twisted Ph8 is the husband and wife team of Jason and Christine Labore, with Jason on a six-string Viper violin and Christine on vocals. Jason is also a touring member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and is a prolific performer and teacher in northern New Hampshire. Closing out the show is a track from my own solo recording Battery - a cover of Larry Norman's "The Last Supper." Back in about 1996, I was asked to contribute a piece for a Larry Norman tribute album that never materialized. It is presented here as a memoriam; Larry Norman passed away on February 24, 2008.

String Planet - "Love for Three Oranges" Bowfire - "Fiddler in the Hood" Cantes do Meu Cante - "Meus Senhores" Charlie Daniels & Dolly Parton - "Daddy's Old Fiddle" Hello everyone, Starting off this show is the quirky viola and Chapman stick duo String Planet. This is what happens when two oft-neglected instruments get to take the lead. Self-described as Bela Fleck meets Prokofiev meets Esquivel (an apt description), these guys are a lot of fun. Bowfire is a Canadian performing group featuring the work of roughly a dozen string artists of multiple genres playing together for a show that incorporates dance, theater, and performance art. They take their show on a tour of North America starting this April - check their website for local theater locations. Cantes do Meu Cante is a Portugese group featuring the cello of Susana Santos (also a member of Archybak who was featured earlier on this program). This group is a mix of traditional and classical musicians playing together for an eclectic mix of Portugese music. Gorgeous vocal harmonies, multi-layered guitars, and a warm cello that just sings. Closing out the show is probably the most famous country western fiddler alive today: Charlie Daniels. This cut is from his new disc entitled Deuces and features Dolly Parton on vocals (who also wrote the song).

Anna Stafford - "Many Thoughts" Emily Price - "Supper Time" The Upton Trio - Eicha Chapa - "A Look to the West" Hello everyone,A quick note: I still have not been able to generate sufficient financial support for the program to keep it going. If you enjoy the format of the show as it currently is, please consider offering your financial support.Starting things off is violinist Anna Stafford, a rock violinist from southern California. She has the unique ability to create an aggressive rock sound using only strings. Those who have been catching the String Quartet Tribute series on Vitamin Records may also recognize her name - she spearheaded the String Quartet Tribute To INXS among many others.Emily Price is an cellist out of New York who builds her sound with mutli-tracking and looping while experimenting with timbre and tone color to create something new and off-beat. A lot of fun. And you gotta love that scratchy old turntable sound!The Upton Trio is a modern classical chamber ensemble based out South Carolina featuring Mary Lee Taylor on violin and Billy Shepherd on piano. The Uptons have a new cellist named Dusan Vukajlovic, but this piece, from a performance in 2000, features cellist Jacqueline Taylor. This piece was composed by Miera Warshauer.Chapa is a group led by guitarist Russ Chapa and drummer Deacon who create a rich stew of music incorporating traditions from around the world and a dense mixture of melodies. Dizzying in its arrangement yet majestic in its groove - these guys are unlike anyone you've heard before.This show comes to you from the local Panera BreadSo long kids!

Unwoman - "Compliance" Bella Rumore - "Whiter Shade of Pale" Ethel - "Sambula" Shauna Burns - "Chamber" Hello everyone, Sorry no show last week -- I'll try and make it up to youse. Starting things off is neo-goth cellist Unwoman with that deep rich cello tone front and center. This cut is the lead track from her brand spanking new disc Blossoms. She was featured earlier on episode 033 of this program. Bella Rumore is another repeat guest on this show. This Las Vegas string act does hip arco covers of popular classic rock tunes. When I heard this rendition of "Whiter Shade of Pale," I was hooked. Ethel is one of my favorite groups. A relentlessly creative quartet - unafraid to be aggressive, unafraid to experiment. This is a cut from their latest disc Light. If you have a chance, be sure to check out one of their "Truckstop" performances (see their MySpace page for details) Closing out the show is pianst Shauna Burns. Her latest disc is a brooding piece called The Moon and the Fire Circle that features the cello of John Minor on numerous tracks. I'm sure you'll enjoy their collaboration. I am still looking for sponsors to help support this program - if your local music school or instrument shop is interested in supporting the show, please send along a copy of the rate sheet. Support is negotiable! Thanks again everyone. You're the best!

Lissa Schneckenburger - "The River" Terra Incognita - "Land of No Return" Peter Hawkes - "Tne Moscow Gypsy" Invincible Czars - "Trepak" Hello everyone, This show starts off with fiddler Lissa Schenckenburger, one of the premier up-and-coming young fiddle virtuosi on the string music scene. Taking elements of numerous folk traditions, she crafts a unique sound that shows off her individual taste and command of the instrument. This tune is from her 2005 eponymous disc. And for the record, that's LISSA, not LISA. Like "Melissa" without the "Me." Making a triuphant return to the show is Siberian violin rock band Terra Incognita. Their aggressive , oppressive, and vaguely gothic sound - mixed with their sexy live presentation make for a exotic combination and an exciting listen. ... and their music will knock you senseless as well. Australian Guitarist Pete Hawkes makes another appearance on this show, this time with a cut from his latest EP, Melancholy Cello. And that title goes a long way in describing the sound on this disc -- lilting, sensitive, and sad. With his arrangements, Hawkes is able to pull an emotion out of a hat and make it sing. And running in the caboose of this program is Austin's Invincible Czars. This high energy, post punk, vaguely klezmer, vaguely ska collection of dramatic musicians performs a cache of original work, in addition to high-energy off-center versions of The Nutcracker and other works by Russian composers. This is the well-known Russian Dance from The Nutcracker. I am still looking for sponsors to help support this program - if your local music school or instrument shop is interested in supporting the show, please send along a copy of the rate sheet.
