It looks like we will have a few new volunteers taking the Cablevision technical training in Jan or Feb. People can still get in on it by emailing public access coordinator John Eisler at jeisler@cablevision.com

We taped two good shows in December.

582) 12/4/13 Ronstadt Generations - Representing 5 generations, they continue the family’s musical tradition with Michael J. Ronstadt (younger brother of Linda) and his sons, Michael G. and Petie. Multi-instrumentalists and solo performers in their own right, they present an exciting repertoire that preserves the traditional Southwestern and Mexican songs of their heritage while offering innovative original material. Rich harmonies sung in English and Spanish are accompanied by outstanding cello and guitars. http://www.ronstadtgenerations.com

583) 12/4/13 Jack Tannehill & Renee Paddock - is all of these wrapped up into one: acoustic rock artist, singer, songwriter, story teller and poet. A carpenter by trade, Tannehill has been known to write many of his best songs while sitting on someone’s rooftop. His playful interaction with audiences is legendary as he weaves stories into his musical sets. Think of an eclectic combination of Steve Forbert, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, but clearly with his own unique style and voice. www.grooveinthegrove.com/jack.php

586) 2/13/14 6:45 Brooks Williams - Ranked one of the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, this singer-songwriter writes groove-laden songs and delivers them with an easy-going vocal style and monstrous guitar chops. Walking the line between blues and Americana, Williams has worked stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales. With nearly 20 CDs to his name – and more on the way – this Statesboro Georgia native is, according to americanaUK, “impossible not to like." www.brookswilliams.com

587) 2/13/14 8:00 Spuyten Duyvil - (pronounced: "Spite + n Dive + l") Hailing from the Hudson Valley, soaring vocals, traditional jug band energy, slide guitar, incendiary fiddle and Chicago-style blues harp propel the listener on a barn-burning romp through the last 100 years of American Roots music. www.spuytenduyvilmusic.com/
