Dinty Child, founding member of Session Americana, the beloved Boston roots music collective, who've accidentally been a band for twenty years, has just released his second solo album, Letting the Lions In. The new songs feature co-writing on all tracks between Dinty and Boston area songwriters like Mark Erelli, Kris Delmhorst and Dave Godowsky. A self-proclaimed slow-writer, the majority of these songs were written on the annual Sub Rosa songwriting retreat Dinty runs on Three Mile Island (no, not that Three Mile Island) on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. Owned by the Appalachian Mountain Club, Dinty's family has been working at the island for over 100 years. Dinty currently serves at the off-season manager, putting his musician and carpenter skills to good use hosting songwriter friends at said retreat like Rose Cousins, Rose Polenzani, Rachael Price, Miss Tess and many more, as well as Miles of Music, a summer camp run by Dinty, Kristin Andreassen and Laura Cortese.Letting the Lions In was co-produced by Zachariah Hickman (Josh Ritter, Ray LaMontagne) and recorded at Great North Sound in Parsonsfield Maine over the course of three days in the spring of 2021. Dinty says: "I often trade construction work for studio time there." During our conversation, we dig into why these songs needed to be recorded. Our consensus is that legacy and spreading joy to his community are the top two reasons. Also, Dinty, who says an annoyingly large percentage of his songs start as dreams, talks about what kind of sleeper he is, what's with the lion and his thoughts on drinking thanks to the handful of alcohol songs on the new album. Dinty is a dear friend to the podcast and an important part of the New England musical landscape, we're thrilled to have him on the show!Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

85 years!! Incredible. This radio station has been home to renowned broadcasters like Pierre Berton, Lister Sinclair, Wallie Oppal, and Narduwar the Human Serviette! It's amazing to think that I have been on the air at CiTR for almost half those years (1985 to 2023, that's 38 of the 85!) Some tunes dating back to 1937, as well as interviews and songs and tunes from some of my favourite moments at CiTR, including several from Jericho Beach Park when we aired the show from the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. Also be a tribute to Tina Turner, and Cream lyricist Pete Brown, as well as new releases from the likes of Eliza Gilkyson, Leftover Salmon, Brighde Chaimbeul, Bela Fleck, Eilen Jewell, and more. Plus a feature on Laura Cortese and a look ahead to this Summer's Edmonton Folk Music Festival, whose lineup was announced this week.

Fiddler Hanneke Cassel has been a big Celtic star for decades and comes to the pod to try and teach me the difference between Irish and Scottish music. Just kidding all you Hanneke-heads! …. But seriously, she helps me keep some things straight. She's been fusing all different styles of music for a long time and her latest album Infinite Brightness weaves her signature flowing Celtic style along with traces of Americana, old time (but she tells me she's not an old time or a bluegrass player) and a hint of classical and maybe even Texas Swing, which was how she first started on the fiddle. Well, she actually started playing classical and found it hard to read music, but eventually discovered a fiddling competition and fell in love with the instrument.In our conversation, Hanneke reflects back on her youthful playing and how she decided to go to Berklee College of Music in Boston. Once there and along with Laura Cortese and Lissa Schneckenburger, she was at the forefront of a fiddle revolution that continues to this day in New England. She talks about her teachers who connected her to the music she loves most, the importance of encouragement from her peers and the inspiration for her to do the same for the next generation. Also, there are lots of Matt Smith references in this episode, so if you are not familiar: Matt Smith runs the historic Club Passim in Harvard Square, Cambridge and is the center point for many touring and New England folk musicians. There is no one like Hanneke! Her new album is a delight and I'm so happy to have her on the pod!Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

B.C.'s Mission Folk Music Festival - one of my favourite events of the year - just announced the line-up for July 21 - 23, and I featured a lot of music by performers coming to Fraser River Heritage Park. Also a few new releases (Tinariwen - produced by Daniel Lanois, Leftover Salmon, Eilen Jewell, Malawi's Keturah, Natalie Merchant, Denmark's Vesselil, and Scotland's Daimh.) Also featured upcoming shows by Crystal Shawanda, Tamikrest, Laura Cortese, Karan Casey etc., and a few extra cuts that surfaced this week

Help produce Basic Folk by contributing at https://basicfolk.com/donate/Known as one of the foremost fiddlers of her generation, Lissa Schneckenburger's latest release is a huge left turn for the Vermont resident. Thunder in My Arms is unique because Lissa is not only singing her own compositions, but the subject matter is hugely personal. The album chronicles her experiences adopting her son. Through the fostering and adoption process, she came across resources, workshops and books, but no music that specifically was about this experience. Since she processes hard things through music, she decided to step up and create this album for her family and for those in the adoption and fostering communities. Lissa thrives and lives in the community through music, so creating and reaching out to this new community came as second nature.Born and raised in rural Maine, Lissa grew up around music and started on the fiddle at five years old. She competed in fiddle competitions, went to Maine Fiddle Camp and the much revered Valley of the Moon Camp in Northern California. Arriving in Boston for school at New England Conservatory of Music, she found herself among a familiar group of musicians that she'd grown up with at the camps. She teamed up with Laura Cortese, Hanneke Cassel and Flynn Cohen to form the seminal Boston fiddle group Halali, which inspired so many young players and ignited a fiddle renaissance in town. Since then, she has released solo albums and been a part of groups like Low Lily. She now lives in Brattleboro, VT with her son and her husband, in-demand upright bassist Corey DiMario (Crooked Still). Lissa has a new fiddle album on the way in 2023, which you can pre-order right from the lady herself. Enjoy Lissa!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

THIS WEEK IN CELTIC MUSIC 0:13 - Spoil The Dance "Jigs : McIntyre's Fancy, Newtown Bridge, Inis Bearachain Jig 2 " from Returning Home 4:04 - WELCOME 4:48 - ÚLLA "Fr. Kelly Set (Reels)" from Ulla 8:51 - The Kelly Girls "Mariners of England" from May You Always 11:49 - Wolf & Clover "Top of Cork Road  -  First Avenue  -  The Merry Maiden" from Wolf & Clover 14:24 - Wolf Loescher "Lads Among Heather" from Sheep's Clothing I wanted to share this song in part because of a new episode on my Pub Songs & Stories podcast. I talk about a song called “Lads in the Shire”. The lyrics were inspired by Wolf Loescher's song. Though of course, they are about Lord of the Rings, which is rather timely since a new Lord of the Rings prequel is coming to Prime Video next month.  18:42 - FEEDBACK 21:36 - Andreas Transø "If" from The Earth and Everything in It 24:32 - Sharon Shannon "Pull Out The Stops" from Sacred Earth 27:40 - McKasson & McDonald "Mark the Hard Earth" from Harbour 32:39 - Gerry O'Beirne & Rosie Shipley "Air" from Yesterday I Saw the Earth Beautiful 34:14 - THANKS 36:11 - CELTIC MUSIC STORY A few weeks back, I was reading Lissa Schneckenburger's email. Lissa is a fantastic Celtic musician from Vermont. She has a great newsletter where she inspires you to practice. In one email, she was talking about Summer Road Trips. She mentioned the Sustainable Touring Arts Coalition on how to make your travel as sustainable as possible. Her friend Laura Cortese toured plastic free. And Lissa did a tour with her husband and son on a bicycle! I'll let her tell the story 41:28 - Lissa Schneckenburger "The 11th Labor of Hercules" from Thunder in My Arms 44:40 – SUSTAINABILITY I found Lissa's story extremely inspiring. Obviously, I'm concerned about our carbon impact on the climate which is why I mentioned the Carbon Almanac in a past podcast. Her story got me excited. I went down a rabbit hole looking into sustainability in the music industry. I found a few resources, but not much. So I've been looking into ways that I can make my music career and podcasting career more sustainable.  One of the coolest things that Lissa Schneckenburger's story inspired me to do is to make my own bike gig plans. With any luck, I will announce at least one bike show this Fall. I'd love your thoughts and feedback. Have you seen any Celtic musicians working hard to support our environment? What did they do? Please email me. 46:21 - Old Man Flanagan's Ghost "May" from Sociable 51:22 - Harmundi "Farewell To Thom" from Um Orvalho Boreal 55:56 - Jamison Celtic Rock "The Most Irish Girl in America" from Heyhowrya 59:07 - CLOSING 59:46 - Niamh Parsons “Green Grass It Grows Bonny” from In My Prime The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast was produced by Marc Gunn, The Celtfather.

There are over 300 amazingly generous people who pledge $1, $5, $10, $25 or more each and every week to support the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I am super grateful to each for their generosity. But sometimes, I screw up. I forget to charge for an episode. That happened this week. The money came in from last month's Patreon pledges. I was $500 short what I normally get each month. As you might imagine, I was a bit shocked. I realized immediately that I didn't charge for one of the episodes last month. That shortfall has a big impact on my life and business. I emailed my patrons and let them know about the problem. I was flooded with small donations and large ones from people who wanted to help make up that shortfall. So I want to take a moment to thank each and every Patron of the Podcast who sent in money to help me meet my financial goals for this month. I have a lot of new artist music I am buying this month. So that helps immensely. If you want to support the podcast with a one-off contribution, I will put a link in the shownotes to where you can donate OR even buy some Celtic podcast t-shirts or other merch.

Welcome to the third preview of Basic Folk: Backstage! For this episode, we're taking you inside a very special moment that happened one night at Miles of Music Camp in 2019. It was a late night music hang where a guitar was being passed around. I had my mic with me and my friend Christopher Pappas asked me to start recording. He has been working on a song, "Lighting Myself on Fire," and wanted to record it with his friends. Present in the room were Laura Cortese, Taylor Ashton, Eleanor Buckland, Mali Obomsawin, Isa Burke, Chas Justus among others. It's hard to explain what it's like to witness a moment like this where everyone is loose, punchy and so talented it knocks the wind out of you. Lucky for us, we got it on tape!To hear the full episode, join us Backstage by donating to Basic Folk today. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Laura Cortese is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, singer, fiddler, and all-around ultra-talented artist. We have such an awesome conversation about where her music comes from. Her music threads together darkness and light, stillness and motion, joy and sorrow. It's beautiful.I also had the good fortune of working briefly with Laura and her partner, Kristin Andreassen (who I hope to also get on the show someday) with their Miles of Music program. It's basically a grown-up summer camp for adults who want to live and breathe music for a week. Having attended, I can say first-hand that it was one of the most joyous weeks of my life, and it reflects what makes Laura so special: her capacity to bring people together and have them make something greater than they ever could on their own.What's more, Laura's newly born baby joins us on this interview. It was my first interview with a fellow working parent who's juggling the complexity of both showing up for her art and her career and also showing up for her loved ones amidst the pandemic. This conversation is a masterclass in how to do that well. And don't forget: stick around to the end to hear one of Laura's songs in its entirety. You won't regret it.The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with me on Facebook | LinkedIn | TwitterEPISODE #42 NOTESmilesofmusiccamp.com/homeCalifornia Calling by Laura Cortese & the Dance CardsBITTER BETTER by Laura Cortese & the Dance CardsThisIsLauraCortese.comfacebook.com/lauracortesemusicinstagram.com/lauracortesetwitter.com/lauracortese

This week on The Seed Cast we met with musician Jeni Magana. Currently residing in LA, Jeni is a touring bassist for Mitski, Lady Lamb, and Laura Cortese. As a solo artist, she released two records just this past year; You are Not a Morning Person and Breathing. With a passion for multiple mediums and the belief that art informs art, Jeni also turns to photography to harness her creativity. In this episode we talk about her exploratory process, the benefits of not having a plan, and her ability to manage the guilt of not creating. You can listen to her latest projects at https://maganarama.bandcamp.com/music and also follow her on instagram @maganarama. Jeni's artist picks: Katie Von Schleicher, Tōth, and Blaze Mckenzie

Election time! Some songs about issues surrounding elections; some new music from Jez Lowe, Kronos Quartet, Laura Cortese, Leyla McCalla, and Rick Fines, and RIP to English blues / R&B pioneer Spencer Davis. And of course the title track from the new John Lennon Box Set: still relevant after all these years!

Laura Cortese is on her way to legendary status in the fiddle community. Born in San Francisco, she has has worked for years honing her sound: bringing together traditions learned at fiddle camp, a love of songwriting and experimental lush indie soundscapes. She has performed under Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards for the past two albums and with her new release Biter Better, the imagined LC + The DCs sound has been achieved.In our conversation, Laura takes us back to growing up with divorced parents, discovering a love of creating music through community, melding all her musical interests, her iconic self-drive that has achieved so much and FASHION. Obviously.  Also life after trauma and living in Belgium with her musician partner while expecting their first baby.American Songwriter Podcast Network Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Laura Cortese is the bandleader and primary songwriter for Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards, a group of four musicians expanding the boundaries of what an indie-folk band can be. Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards take their extensive string music background, add their knowledge of folk and roots music, and incorporate an edgy pop sensibility to create their latest album, BITTER BETTER. A stunning lesson in all the ways string instruments can be played – bowed, plucked, percussively – the album showcases Cortese and multi-instrumentalist producer Sam Kassirer (Lula Wiles, Lake Street Dive) striving to capture the most adventurous approach to each moment. The result is an album that incorporates dance-worthy foundational grooves, synth, and loops to push the boundaries of the genre. BITTER BETTER was released on JULY 17 on Compass Records. With BITTER BETTER, Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards throw out the rulebook, creating a beautifully vivid, musically unexpected canvas from their refreshingly unconventional perspective. Laura Cortese is also a music educator and co-founder of the Miles of Music Camp, which is celebrating its 10th year in 2020.-- Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards https://thisislauracortese.com :: New singles OUT NOW on Compass Records :: Full album, “BITTER BETTER” coming July 17 Treat You Better - https://CompassRecords.lnk.to/3Y0knEM Corduroy Jacket - https://CompassRecords.lnk.to/DBSjCEM

looking back at the first music festival I ever attended. 50 years ago this weekend The Hollywood Music Festival took place on a farmer's field near Keele University in North Staffordshire. It was the first appearance outside North America of The Grateful Dead. Traffic - just prior to launching John Barleycorn Must Die; British jug band Mungo Jerry; and lots more!

Toronto-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Noah Zacharin released one of our favourite albums of 2016, the genre defying electric album "Strange Rider". His latest album "A Startle Of Wings" is a stripped down and intimate affair, and features Noah playing almost strictly solo acoustic guitar on a collection of 14 songs that really shows the depth and quality of his songwriting. It's a recording that Noah describes as best enjoyed in a quiet space with headphones, and an album that really deserves to be explored and savoured. Noah Zacharin joins us on Episode 398 of Folk Roots Radio for an in-depth conversation about the new release. We also check out new music from Sugar Brown, Judy Brown, Sue Foley, Cousin Harley and Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards.

Clive Anderson and Tom Allen are joined by Dick and Dom, Tai Shan Schierenberg, Alex Wheatle and Charlie Murphy for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Gengahr and Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards. Producer: Debbie Kilbride.

MEAN MARY isn't mean at all …she is known internationally for her lightning-fast fingers, haunting vocals, and intricate story songs. She is an award-winning musician/writer and fan fa-vorite (over 9 million views on her YouTube videos). Deering Banjo's named her their Goodtime Ambassador, and Janet Deering describes her banjo playing as giving her "chills. Her latest album is titled ‘Blazing'. LAURA CORTESE & THE DANCE CARDS have a vision for their band's sound: bold and elegant, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger. Cellist Valerie Thompson (cello/vox), fiddler Jenna Moynihan (fiddle/vox), and bassist Natalie Bohrn (bass/vox) pair their sophisticated string arrangements and rich vocal harmonies to band leader Laura Cortese's poignant and powerful singing. The new record ‘California Calling' on Compass Records has a wide emotional and son-ic scope. WoodSongs Kid: Lake Carver is 8 year fiddle player and vocalist from Mocksville, North Caro-lina. Lake performs the bluegrass standernd ‘Ruby' with her brother Brant Wimmer .

#130: Compass Records was founded in 1994 by artists Garry West and Alison Brown. Called “one of the greatest independent labels of the last decade” by Billboard, Compass specializes in roots, bluegrass, and Americana -- and boasts the largest Celtic catalog in the world. On this episode, we hear about the label's philosophy and history from co-founder Garry West. Compass artist Laura Cortese also shares her perspective. Produced by Will Watts and Anna McClain. Engineered by Brent Asbury at Beta Petrol.

Why do old ballads endure? Does it make sense to sing about Willie and Mary, when our playgrounds are filled with Ozzies and Loxleys? Do we really need to say “my love is like a red, red rose,” or can’t we use a modern metaphor and call her really hot? Laura Cortese, Cathy Jordan, Sam Amidon, Robbie O’Connell, and Karan Casey help host Shannon Heaton explore old ballads in a dating app era. There’s plenty of music here, too.

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s beautiful 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, celebrated Scottish & Oldtime acoustic music explorers Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with this dynamic musical duo. Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Roger Fountain performing the traditional fiddle tune “Bill Cheatham.” Writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles the curious history of Dogpatch USA, a unique theme park in the Ozarks for 25 years. The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair Fraser, "the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling", and brilliant Californian cellist Natalie Haas spans the full spectrum between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 18 years of creating a buzz at festivals and concert halls across the world, they have truly set the standard for fiddle and cello in traditional music. They continue to thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music. Fraser has a concert and recording career spanning over 30 years, with a long list of awards, accolades, radio and television credits, and feature performances on top movie soundtracks (Last of the Mohicans, Titanic, etc.). In 2011, he was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, is one of the most sought after cellists in traditional music today. She has performed and recorded with a who's who of the fiddle world including Mark O'Connor, Natalie MacMaster, Irish supergroups Solas and Altan, Liz Carroll, Dirk Powell, Brittany Haas, Darol Anger, Jeremy Kittel, Hanneke Cassel, Laura Cortese, and many more. This seemingly unlikely pairing of fiddle and cello is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser. His search eventually led him to find a cellist who could help return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music, where it stood for hundreds of years before being relegated to the orchestra. The duo's debut recording, Fire & Grace, won the coveted the Scots Trad Music "Album of the Year" award, the Scottish equivalent of a Grammy. Since its release, the two have gone on to record four more critically acclaimed albums that blend a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge string explorations. In additional to performing, they both have motivated generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps across the globe. https://alasdairandnatalie.com/bio In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Roger Fountain performing the traditional fiddle tune “Bill Cheatham,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. From his series entitled “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles the curious history of Dogpatch USA, a unique theme park in the Ozarks for 25 years. The second of a three part series, this episode chronicles the development of an Ozark theme park based on the famous cartoon “Li’l Abner,” created by cartoonist Al Capp.

Playful folk duo The Rough & Tumble live life on the road, taking their home with them – a sixteen foot trailer, from gig to gig, as they tour North America. They’ve just released their first full length album, appropriately titled “We Made Ourselves A Home When We Didn’t Know”. The Rough & Tumble’s Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler join us on Episode 364 of Folk Roots Radio to chat about their music and the new album. We also check out more of the latest new releases including new music from I’m With Her, Emily Mure, Ange Hardy, Onion Honey, The LYNNeS and Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards.

Earlier this year fiddler and singer Laura Cortese released her new album, 'California Calling.' It's her first on Compass Records with her band The Dance Cards: Valerie Thompson " cello & vocals; Jenna Moynihan " fiddle & vocals; and Natalie Bohrn " bass & vocals. In November, Laura and the Dance Cards (Thompson, Moynihan, and Zoe Guigueno on bass) came to Beehive Productions studio in Saranac Lake for an in-studio performance and to share some thoughts about the excitement of making her first album that "brings into focus the idea of stings (two fiddles, cello and bass) and voices making indie-folk music" with rich, textured soundscapes.
