Playlists: Womenfolk (May 3, April 26 & 19, 2009)

Big thanks to all of you who pledged during KFAI's recent Spring Pledge Drive...Thanks to you, we reached our $100,000 goal just 15 seconds before the end of pledge drive! I also appreciate everyone's strong support of Womenfolk and will be sending out those Red House samplers as thank-you's to all of you soon!

Below you'll find the playlists from the last few weeks...As you'll see, today there was a lot of Irish music on KFAI! Dan Rein welcomed local duo Norah Rendell & Brian Miller into the studio on Century Song, and then Womenfolk talked with Boston-based flute player and vocalist Shannon Heaton (pictured here).  Natalie O'Shea also stopped by the studio to talk about her new Celtic arts venue called Celtic Junction, which will be presenting Norah Rendell & Brian Miller with Shannon & Matt Heaton in concert this Thursday. To hear my interviews with Shannon and Natalie, check out the archived show here.  You can hear Norah and Brian on Century Song here

Next Sunday tune in for a special Mother's Day show featuring an interview with Iowa songwriter Pieta Brown...Hope you can tune in for the fun, and feel free to send me your requests and special dedications to the most important woman in your life!
