It’s going to be hard to forget 2016; I hope one of the memories you have is listening to the Folk Show Road Show— regularly broadcast on the third Tues evening of the month. To help keep those memories alive, we’re taking a look back at some 2016 broadcasts.
There just wassn’t time enough to include each of the over a dozen artists, and choosing was tough. I hated to leave out The Foghorn String Band, Ben Bedford and Tim Grimm, and Joe Jencks, but since their concerts had been broadcas so recently—in October, November and December, respectively—we opted to focus on highlights earlier in the year. I’m confident the music you hear tonight will a welcome addition to this extra-ordinary new year., and I hope you enjoy it.
You'll hear from The Fairfield Four, Hanneke Casell, Peter Mulvey, The Quebe Sisters, Abby Gardner, Justin Townes Earle, Malcolm Holcomb, and Los Lobos
We started this evening by hearing just a little bit from Peter Mulvey, we’ll feature several songs ahead, but on this day after the annual national celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life, it’s fitting to turn to the iconic gospel group The Fairfield Four . We featured a Dec 2015 concert at Juniata College in Huntingdon last Spring on the Folk Show Road Show, and advocate for and friend of the group, PSU Altoona professor Jerry Zolten help set the context for us.

First though, we move from the Stone Church of the Brethren in Huntingdon, to an historic church that now serves as the Center for Well-Being Yoga Center in Lemont.

The infectious personality of fiddler Hanneke Cassel, leading on fiddle, joins forces with Mike Block on cello, and Keith Murphy on guitar.
