Everyone can listen to Bound for Glory on line. The website tells you how. AUG. 29 ANDREW AND NOAH VAN NORSTRAND. The Van Norstrand brothers are incredible musicians. They started out playing contradance tunes. Then they got really creative, and started writing exciting tunes that no one else duplicates. And now they've turned into songwriters. This is great stuff, a wonderful start to Fall on Bound for Glory. http://AndrewAndNoah.com SEPT. 5 JOHN CADLEY AND THE LOST BOYS. The Lost Boys are an excellent bluegrass band, and John Cadley is a remarkable songwriter. They go very well together. They lean toward the traditional side of bluegrass, but they bring in some surprising influences. Excellent. http://www.lostboysbluegrass.com SEPT. 12 SUSAN TRUMP. Susan Trump is someone we've wanted to present on Bound for Glory for a long time. She's a traditionally oriented folk singer with a quirky sense of humor, playing mountain dulcimer as well as guitar and banjo. Come join in on the choruses. http://www.susantrump.com SEPT. 19 ROB LUTES. Rob Lutes is a bluesy singer-songwriter from Montreal, a place not usually known as a home of the blues. Rob is a creative songwriter and a fine guitarist, willing to tackle all kinds of topics in his music. This is an exciting Bound for Glory debut that's going to be great fun. http://www.roblutes.com SEPT. 26 FINEST KIND. It's been many years since this outstanding Ottawa-based traditional folk trio has appeared on Bound for Glory. They're known for their tight harmonies, and they find songs of all sorts, from the English folk tradition to American cowboy songs. And they have a good sparkle to them. We are extremely pleased. http://ianrobb.com/finestkind/. OCT. 3 BRENDAN TAAFFE. Brendan Taaffe takes the American folk tradition and finds brand new ways to express it. He'll take an old song and play it on an unexpected instrument. He'll find a new twist that gets to the heart of a song. And he'll get us all involved in his music. Come catch a remarkable guy. http://www.brendantaaffe.com On OCTOBER 10, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios, as Cornell takes Fall Break, and the Cafe at Anabel Taylor is closed. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. There will be seven more live shows in the late Fall, starting OCTOBER 17, including visits from MUSTARD'S RETREAT, THE ANGEL BAND, CATHY BARTON AND DAVE PARA, MY SWEET PATOOTIE, TIM GRIMM, STEVE GILLETTE AND CINDY MANGSEN.
