Sept. 17, 2007 – Tune into the Doug Lewis Show on WVGN 107.3 FM from 1 to 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 23. This Sunday we will feature music by Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, the NRG Band, Poco, Etta Baker, Oakley Hall, North Cregg and more.
The Modern Music Feature CD is "Lifeline," the new release from Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. Ben Harper is one of those artists who does not fit into one specific niche. He incorporates folk, blues and soul influences into his unique style.
The Indie Spotlight CD is "Live NRG" by the NRG Band. Lead vocalist Nicole Hart has a powerful voice, and this is an exciting new live blues release.
We play new music from Robben Ford, Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers, Richie Furay of Poco fame, Oakley Hall and more.
We include music from Celtic band North Cregg, Kathy Mattea, Poco, the Reverend Billy C. Wirtz, the Yardbirds and more.
We celebrate the birthdays of Ray Charles, songwriter Pat Alger, Bruce Springsteen, Ani diFranco and blues artist Roy Buchanan. We remember blues guitarist Etta Baker on the anniversary of her death.
We also include music from fiddler David Algeo Smith, who will be performing at the Montessori Musicfest on Sept. 29.
We give away a CD from roots recording artist John Platania titled "Blues Waltzes and Badland Borders." The CD was produced by Chip Taylor and includes guest appearances from artists such as Lucinda Williams and Alejandro Escovedo.
We also give away a copy of "Street Symphony," the latest release from the Subdudes.
Doug Lewis Show is underwritten by Hook, Line and Sinker; Molly Molones; and St. Thomas Radiology Associates.
