Live from...Where?
In-studio concert with Uncle Moon.
Impossible to adequately describe with words, but the band says, "Uncle Moon weaves an eclectic variety of music drawing on the unique possibilities of instrumentation consisting of guitar, accordion, violin, saxophone and double bass. We have been called an eclectic folk band, but our music transcends those roots exploring and incorporating elements of jazz, country, bluegrass, klezmer, Cajun, cabaret, poetry and art music. One fan calls it 'Kurt Weill at the Grand Ol Opry.' Another said, '...the closest that performance art music has come to moonshine.'"
Please come to Bridgeport on Wednesday and be part of the studio audience right here at the radio station. The broadcast starts at 8:00 PM SHARP so please arrive before 7:45. Call the station weekdays between 10 AM and 5 PM to get directions and let us know you are coming, so we can have some coffee waiting for you!
