Local singer-songwriter Brian Baldami returns to the Acoustic Highway this Sunday. Brian has been a frequent guest in the 89.5 studio and also was the featured musical artist on Writer's Block when we presented an all-Veterans/active-duty military show. Brian is gearing up for a benefit show at the Big-Pink in Hampton in November. Joining Brian in the studio are local musicians Patrick Higgins and Matt Crim. They are a part of the new Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers tribute band "Dead Rise." We'll talk music and they'll perform live. Also, plenty of music from other Virginia based musicians including Steve Fisher, Gerry Laverty, Ron Fetner, Will Overman, Wine Dark Sea, and Logan Vath. As always, it's a jam-packed Highway! Tune in Sunday night at 9 on WHRV.
