UPCOMING SPECIAL BOUDIN BARNDANCE SHOW INFO:
Aug 20 – Album You Need to Hear feature
Aug 27 – Talkin’ Rhythm & Roots Festival 2026 w/ Dave Rosenfeld
The Newport Folk Festival takes center stage in these parts this weekend and we offered a mini-preview of some of the artists on this evening’s Boudin Barndance radio program. As usual, we kicked off the program with a first hour of tracks from mostly new and upcoming albums followed by the weekly C&W segment and then the NFF mini preview. Our final hour was a mash-up of stuff just happening to float my boat tonight. New albums and singles making the Barndance hit parade for the first time this evening came only from Aaron Lee Tasjan. Hope you were able to listen, but if not check out the LISTEN link above to check out the archive. Buttshaker of the week????
