Going. For People Who Love to Go Out.
Everything folk: roots, Americana, blues, bluegrass, newgrass, traditional, folk rock, blues, R&B and Celtic music and allied forms of dance happening from the greater Boston / Cambridge / Somerville area out to New England and into New York and eastern Canada.
Threads of general interest are welcome, but please limit discussion and events to folk and roots music in the Northeast. Take discussion of other forms of music to other groups.
"If you're not doing it already, resolve in 2008 to get out and hear live local music. As Jonathan Perry said in The Boston Globe 12/28, you owe it to yourself to investigate why the Boston area's "musical landscape" is "so consistently exciting, surprising and gratifying."" - Dennis Brennan, 1/2/08.

Spider John Koerner on L&F today
Hi folks, This didn't confirm until just this morning, hence the short notice. Folk/blues legend "Spider" John Koerner is scheduled to for a live half-hour on-air performance and interview on "Lost and Found" on WMBR today, beginning at approximately 12:45 PM! "Spider" John has been keeping the sounds of traditional and acoustic blues, folk/blues, and "old-timey" Americana alive for nearly 50 years, from the groundbreaking folk festivals of the early 1960s, to his current international touring schedule. Celebrating his 70th birthday later this week, "Spider" John is still going strong, and he will be performing tonight at Sally O'Brien's in Union Square, Somerville. I don't think they have a cover charge, so drop on by and hang out!
"Spider" John's website: http://www.mwt.net/~koerner
Sally O'Brien's pub: http://www.sallyobriensbar.com
We'll also have ticket giveaways today for lots of other great upcoming shows within the next couple of weeks, including Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks, Acoustic Hot Tuna, Levon Helm and more, so tune in for a somewhat "rootsy" edition of "Lost and Found" today.
As always, your requests and suggestions are welcome! Today 12 noon - 2 PM ET at WMBR 88.1 FM or http://www.wmbr.orghttp://lostwmbr.blogspot.com If you miss the show, archives are available for two weeks! Thanks for listening!

Far out, man!
Even if you cannot go, support the Arlo event (click "I like it"), that is unless you'd rather be with 35000 others singing "Sweet Caroline". Yikes, that's scary!

New Pete Seeger album set for Sept. 30 release
Fishkill resident, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and folk singing legend Pete Seeger will release his first new album in five years Sept. 30.
"Pete Seeger at 89" contains 32 songs, many of which have never been recorded, and will come out on Appleseed Records. This record was produced by Seeger and David Bernz, a Hudson Valley native who has worked often with Seeger, and is a member of Work o' the Weavers, a tribute band honoring the memory of Seeger's former ensemble.
Joining Seeger on the CD are the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus, the After Hours Quartet, Hudson River Sloop Singers and violinist Sara Milonovich.
Visit www.appleseedmusic.com and click on the links to the left to learn more about Pete; and to watch a video interview in which Seeger discusses the Clearwater organization. Seeger founded Clearwater, which is based in Poughkeepsie, to clean up the Hudson River. Visit www.clearwater.org for information.

RE: Bluegrass Tuesdays + -
The Cantab Lounge, Central Square, Cambridge, MA. Jake Armerding, Taylor Armerding, Zack Hickman and Mark Erelli. I always try to get the hellraisers for my Cantab gig, but this is ridiculous. This is an all-star game. You know Old Train hits the rafters, you know Erelli hits 'em too, but have you heard them hit together? But then there's Zachariah keeping us anchored to the beat, lest we get ahead of ourselves. Don't miss it. 10pm, $7 suggestion donation. Visit www.cantab-lounge.com.
By the way, Signature has just announced that Mark's new CD, "Delivered", is available online, in stores 9/16. Details http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NorthEa...
Who says there is no crossover between folk and bluegrass?

Peter Mulvey Tonight + -
9:30pm to Midnight
Peter Mulvey
at Atwoods Tavern, 877 Cambridge St, Cambridge (near Inman & Kendall Sq)
$10
WTF? There's almost never a cover at Atwoods! Well, Peter Mulvey is passing through town and he's worth it. Apparently this songwriter spent a couple years in Boston and often played in the T. (He recorded a whole CD of cover songs at the Davis Sq station in '01.) You might not have tipped him, so pay up for a night of songs from his rich rasp over sweet guitar work.

But your post raises an interesting point. This is not my group, this is our (72 members) group. I would love to see wider participation.
Re "wtf", I had the same reaction. Read my post in the sister group.
