This version of the program is divided into 5 segments this week. The show is divided into sections so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases.
Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul
Tonight was fun and interesting as we welcomed the acoustic trio Sol & Kiel into the studio to perform live for us. Sol & Kiel are Michael Harrist, Tobey LaRoche, and Jesse Hanson, all outstanding young musicians. They brought along a wide array of instruments including a piano and some things I cannot pronounce aside from the usual guitars, fiddles, double bass, cello (the list goes on). Be sure to visit the Out of the Woods pages on facebook to see the photos of how we were able to cram a piano into the WSCS studio! Jesse Hanson also just released her debut solo CD, and she performed a song of her own as well. I had a list of songs performed, but I forgot it at WSCS. They played about 6 songs total including 'Heyohka', 'Morning Light', 'Reverie', and 'Circles'. Here's the show:
