New Releases on The Acoustic Highway

Wrap up the weekend and get ready for the first full week of October with new music on the Acoustic Highway. We'll hear tracks from the Rhiannon Giddens "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" as well as a track from the new album entitled "Knoxville Project" from South Caroliana based singer-songwriter Angela Easterling. Also, we'll hear from Texas‑based Americana and alt‑country singer‑songwriter Leslie Waugh. Her new album is entitled "Night Bloom." And a track from the wonderful album "Nearness of You" from Vance Gilbert. The Boston based singer took jazz standards and reworked them acoustically. We'll hear from local and regional musicians Jim Masters, Mike Proffitt, Bill and Pam Gurley, Dustin Furlow, Doug Alan Wilcox, and Michael Lille. We'll wrap with, a few tracks from the Steve Forbert tribute album from Jason Crosby and Gwyneth Moreland. It's jam-packed highway. Tune in Sunday night at 9 on WHRV.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
