UPCOMING SPECIAL BOUDIN BARNDANCE SHOW INFO:
02/26/2026 – Album you need to hear feature
TBD – WRIU RADIOTHON!

What with all the snow and cold and gloomy weather this winter in these parts, we aimed to cure the winter doldrums on The Boudin Barndance tonight with a heavy dose of R&R. It was the finishing touch to this evening’s program which began, as usual, with an hour of mostly new and recent releases followed by the weekly C&W segment. Some odds & ends followed and then into our R&R spectacular. Hope you were able to listen, but if not check out the LISTEN link above to check out the archive. New albums and singles this evening came from Kevin Morby, Hiss Golden Messenger, Mark Erelli, John Craigie, Goodnight Moonshine, and The Waymores. Buttshaker of the week????
