As has been announced on recent shows of mine, on 5/30/09, and 5/31/09, the Vocal Arts Ensemble under the direction of Tracia Barbieri will present a concert of vocal and instrumental music from the British Isles. This will include British Renaissance music, as well as Irish jigs, and Gaelic Airs. Celtic instrumentalists Bob Wren and Ray Frank, as well as classical guitarist Matthew Grasso will be present to present period instrumental pieces, and to accompany the vocalists on some of their numbers.

In honor of Hardwater's CD release party, Thursday's 7-8am freeform music hour will be devoted to Hardwater and some of their influences...listen in and comment!

For those who went to see this amazing artist on 5/14/09 at the Mondavi Center no comment is necessary. For those who didn't go, make sure you do next time he is in town. He was extremely generous with the audience. Bravo!
