The folks at NPR’s “All Songs Considered” always do a bang up job delivering the goods when it comes to broadcasting/streaming outstanding live shows by buzzworthy artists. This week, however, they’ve outdone themselves.
Beginning tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET, “All Songs Considered” will offer something for everyone. To quote NPR’s piece on the show, “We’re bringing you three very different, very large bands live from Joe’s Pub in New York City.”
First up is “polyglot jazz” combo Fight The Big Bull with special guest Steven Bernstein (Sexmob), then – from the world of deep soul – Lee Fields and The Expressions and finally, indie funk octet The Phenomenal Handclap Band.
Visit NPR.org for complete details on the show and more info about all three acts.
