Hello friends, just a short note to let you know that a new episode of Acoustic Blend is set to air Saturday night. This one is also on Spotify with a little extra commentary on the idea of hope and resurrection. I have to say I felt pretty compelled to put this one out into the world, and I sure hope you dig it. Note that the first link below will play my full introduction — and if you have a Spotify subscription you can listen to the show in its entirety.
Our themes this month are winter to spring, dark to light, and death to resurrection. A few weeks ago (back when I thought this month’s show would be a repeat) I learned that my friend and fellow musician Jeff Anderson had passed away in early March. The news completely caught me off guard, and after listening to Jeff’s song “Try” I knew I needed to share it. I offer it this month (along with a song of my own that he helped inspire) in loving memory.
The full playlist is below and also features a couple songs from second generation songsmiths — namely Tommy Prine (son of John Prine) and Skye Peterson (daughter of Andrew Peterson). There is also a gem from Andrew Ripp that is timely for Easter weekend.
Acoustic Blend airs Saturday, April 8 at 8pm EDT on WBAA AM 920 in Lafayette / West Lafayette, and streaming live on wbaa.org. You can view the full playlist below. ‘Til next month!
