Revered songwriter John Prine died on April 7, 2020, in Nashville, of complications from the coronavirus. He had been scheduled to appear at Bluesfest and at other concert dates but had pulled out of those commitments earlier in the year due to health issues. It would have been Prine's second visit in 15 months (after his acclaimed concerts last year came after a 26 year gap!). Prine appeared on the cover of Rhythms in January 2019 and Brian Wise spoke to him in late 2018, having just seen him at a dazzling show at the City Winery in Nashville (see pic above) during the Americana Music Festival. This interview also continues excerpts from some of Prine's best loved songs as well as selections from his most recent album, The Tree of Forgiveness (2018), which not only won a Grammy but was also the best selling album of his entire career!

We celebrate the first inaugural Black Bear Americana Musics Festival with potent tracks from The Mammals, Adam Ezra Group, Belle of the Fall, The Nields, Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, The Rad Trads, Violetta Zironi, NuBluzRevue, and the Honey Whiskey Trio. First ever installment of this huge event to be held at the Goshen Fairgrounds just north of Litchfield, Conn., October 4–8. Welcome! brothers and sisters to Episode #13—of the Cornbread Cafe, that new joint on the web offering tasty American Roots treats. We’re located at the five-corners of Americana, Blues, Country, Folk, and Gospel. And sometimes you can catch an express to Rock ’n’ Roll at the bus stop across the way. I am, of course, your host, the mongrel, a.k.a. Jay Vee, and it’s my distinct pleasure to serve up a show I know we’re all going to look back on some day with kind of a “Yup. I was there” satisfaction. Featured in this Episode: The Mammals • “Culture War” • SunshinerAdam Ezra Group • “Steal Your Daughter” • Hurricane Wind Belle of the Fall • “They All Come Crashing Down” • Rise UpThe Nields • “You Don't Have That Kind Of Time” • XVII Whiskey Treaty Roadshow • “Jimmy The Whiskey Boy” • Whiskey Treaty Roadshow EP The Rad Trads • “The Little Pie Blues” • On TapVioletta Zironi • “Little Wound” • single NuBluzRevue • “Think Again” • NuBluzRevueHoney Whiskey Trio • “Grim Reaper” • Rye Woman Last episode we got to hear from Jim Olsen of Signature Sounds about the inaugural Arcadia Folk Festival going on September 30, in Northampton Mass. This time around, we hear from two of the organizers of the brand new Black Bear Americana Music Festival taking place October 4 through the 8 in Northwestern Connecticut. Beth Murphy and Ian Campbell dialed in to our studio late in the evening earlier this week to talk about the whys and hows of building this exciting new gathering from the ground up. The Mammals And how cool is that? Back to back shows about back to back nascent American Roots music festivals. This type of opportunity comes around less than once in a blue moon, and I am pleased to be able to bring you the news, interviews, and sampler platters of music you can expect to hear at these top flight festivals. It’ll be another lean back and loosen yer belt kind of episode. We also continue our occasional series of music in the American Roots genre that thrives on foreign soil — “Americana Expat.” As promised, this episode we have the JUST released single, “Little Wound,” from Italian born Violetta Zironi—an artist I predict will be making her way into the festival circuit in the next year or two. Plus, we’ll hear from a couple artists new to the show, as well as making sure we end this musical feast with a sweet finish courtesy our old friends, the Honey Whiskey Trio.’ Adam Ezra Group I already know we’re going to run over our 60-minute limit with this show, so let’s get right into it with our first Black Bear set, featuring the Adam Ezra Group and particularly smokin’ track, “Steal Your Daughter” off 2017’s Hurricane Wind. We’ll hear Belle of the Fall and the blistering “They All Came Crashing Down,” off their brandy new release Rise Up, and we’ll kick it all off with The Mammals, who also have a brand new album, Sunshiner, from which we’ll enjoy “Culture War,” right here on the Cornbread Cafe. Again that was “They All Came Crashing Down,” from Belle of the Fall. The album, Rise Up, is Exhibit A for why I do this show and why we all gravitate towards American Roots. You can listen for no other reason than the satisfying overall sound, and then listen more closely and hear some real genius in the poetry, wit, and wisdom of the lyrics. Belle of the Fall You find songwriters who fall at different points along the lyrical spectrum, sometimes simultaneously, in the Americana-verse. I think this emotional complexity is one of the things that draws people from all walks of life, all over the world,

Today’s guest, who we had the pleasure of recording at the 2015 Americana Music Festival, is Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show.

Listen in as we talk about life in Appalachia before Old Crow, and the road that led him to Nashville.
AmericanaFest 2017 is in the books, and it was large and loud. Fifty venues across Nashville. A new hotel headquarters. It felt the same yet different. We're 18 years into this thing after all. It's hard to discern trends from inside the belly of the beast. But in the hour ahead we'll try. Five artists or groups from different generations and places on the musical spectrum talk about career, art, commerce, inclusion and exclusion and the elusive but cherished idea that is Americana music. In case this is new terrain for you, AmericanaFest is the snappy short version of what's been formally called The Americana Music Festival and Conference, a Nashville gathering launched in 2000. What began as strategic ideas convention has grown into a major draw for music fans with about 300 artists playing some 50 formal and informal venues around town. The exponential growth of venues and audiences and private parties surrounding AmericanaFest is emblematic of the format's success in the wider world. Americana is a legit player at the top tiers of the music industry, whether indicated by Margo Price on Saturday Night Live or Sturgill Simpson going up against Beyonce at the Grammy Awards. It's good times. Can that get too good? Too big? Too much of what Americana was meant to be an alternative to? That concern is definitely in the air, and that will get touched on in the hour ahead. Featured, conversations with: Sean McConnell, Yola Carter, The Accidentals, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams and Rayna Gellert & Keiran Kane.
