Show Time: 9:00 - 11:00PM EST;
6:00 - 8:00PM Pacific
Theme: Music of Winter
Tonight's artists are the Lisa Moscatiello & Fred Lieder (http://www.fairewood.com) with Robin Bullock (http://www.robinbullock.com)
The husband-and-wife team AL PETTEWAY AND AMY WHITE
combine elements of Celtic, classical, New Age, blues
and funk for an intoxicating musical blend. Performing
on acoustic guitars, mandolin, piano, Irish bouzouki
and world percussion, they create a sound and synergy
uniquely their own, as unclassifiable as it is
enchanting. Their new duo CD, Gratitude, was released
this fall, joining their critically acclaimed duo
debut, Racing Hearts, and their six previous solo CDs.
Between them, Al and Amy have won over 40 Washington
Area Music Association WAMMIE Awards and three
Governor's Awards from the Maryland State Arts
Council. Legendary singer-songwriter Tom Paxton calls
them "Two of the most purely musical people I know,"
and the Kennedy Center praises their "Elegant
musicianship...their rich melodies and intricately
textured arrangements evoke magic and mystery."
A founding member of the renowned acoustic world-music
trio Helicon and an alumnus of trailblazing Celtic
groups The John Whelan Band and Greenfire, ROBIN
BULLOCK is a virtuoso performer on 6- and 12-string
guitars, cittern, mandolin, fiddle and piano, and is
recognized as one of the few musicians who can so
successfully blend the ancient airs and dance tunes of
the Celtic lands with the roots music traditions of
the "New World." His credits include three Washington
Area Music Association WAMMIE Awards and the
Association for Independent Music's prestigious INDIE
Award (1999 Seasonal Recording of the Year, with
Helicon), and the summer of 2000 saw the release of
his fourth solo CD, The Lightning Field. Classical
Guitar magazine calls him "A musician whose technical
skill and stylistic expertise are second to none...To
say he's good at what he does is an understatement,"
and Guitar Player magazine simply calls his work
"Breathtaking." A longtime Baltimorean, Robin now
lives in Paris, France, making these concerts a rare
opportunity for Baltimore-Washington area fans.
The show is hosted by our own Doug Goodhill, with Snooze, gregor, Johnny and the crew.
