FUV Live Series Continues With Two More Exclusive Broadcasts
As part of its FUV Live concert series, WFUV will air performances by two stellar artists this August. On Monday, August 15th at 8:00 PM, banjo player, singer and songwriter Abigail Washburn performs a private concert for WFUV members at Rockwood Music Hall. Later that week, Nick Lowe will take the stage at the Living Room on Thursday, August 18th at 7:00 PM to perform songs from his new CD, The Old Magic, as well as songs from decades-spanning career. Both concerts can be heard live on 90.7 FM in New York City and at wfuv.org around the world.
Profiled in Newsweek in 2008 for creating a “gorgeous, joyful new sound,” songwriter and clawhammer banjo player Abigail Washburn takes her bold and expansive musical vision to new heights on her third recording, City of Refuge. Raw, ethereal and at times lushly orchestrated, the album melds the forces of renowned producer Tucker Martine with Washburn’s classic songwriting and old-time storytelling aesthetic. John Platt hosts as Washburn brings her Appalachian sound to New York.
As the leader of the seminal pub rockers Brinsley Schwarz, a producer and a solo artist, Nick Lowe held considerable influence over the development of punk rock. The writer of such hits as “Cruel To Be Kind” and “I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass” and “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding,” Lowe has been performing for over 40 years. Corny O’Connell hosts as Lowe performs exclusively for station members.
WFUV is a non-commercial, listener-supported public radio station, licensed to Fordham University for over 60 years. Serving the New York area as well as an international audience on the web, and a leader in contemporary music radio, WFUV is Rock & Roots Radio, offering an eclectic mix of rock, singer-songwriters, blues, world and other music, plus headlines from National Public Radio and local news.
