WVBR's Bound for Glory, North America's longest running live folk concert broadcast, broadcasts live from the Cafe at Anabel Taylor Hall at Cornell, on Sunday nights. Bound for Glory brings central New York another series of free folk concerts, on WVBR-FM, 93.5 and 105.5. We promise some excellent acoustic music, presented by long-time host Phil Shapiro.
The show runs Sunday nights from 8 to 11, with live sets at 8:30, 9:30, and 10:30. All three sets are different. Come to as many sets as you wish. Admission in the live audience at Anabel Taylor is free and is open to everyone in the area. Kids are always welcome. Refreshments are available.

AUG. 28 THE SQUID JIGGERS. From the coast of Maine. Some of you may remember Dave Rowe. This his current duo, singing rollicking songs from Maine, Ireland, and eastern Canada. A lot of fun, a lot of energy, and a great way to start the 45th year of Bound for Glory. Come sing on the choruses. http://squidjiggers.com
SEPT. 4 LESLIE LEE AND STEVE GRETZ. Leslie and Steve are song finders, with a repertoire of songs old and new, that move them, and will move you. They'll lift your spirits and soothe your souls. This is their second visit to Bound for Glory. Nowadays they come from the Rochester area. http://leslieandsteve.com
SEPT. 11 KIM AND REGGIE HARRIS. Kim and Reggie Harris are consummate musicians and storytellers. They build on a sturdy legacy of folk and black gospel music, and they've got a message to share about peace and unity. They're a whole lot of fun, with lots of audience participation. A one of a kind duo. http://kim and reggie.com
SEPT.18 THE DIAMONDBACK RATTLERS. The Diamondback Rattlers play bluegrass. And some swing. Even a little jazz. And they tell the most awful and wonderful jokes. They're fine singers, hot pickers, and good humored in everything they do. Not your classic bluegrass band. Great fun. http://diamondbackrattlers.com
SEPT. 25 CHRISTINE LAVIN AND DON WHITE. Concert and comedy. Christine Lavin is one of the funniest people in the whole world of folk music, and Don White is a standup comic par excellence. Christine's songs have many a twist. Outrageous! Together they make for one wild evening. htp:christinelavin.com
OCT. 2 AOIFE CLANCY. Aoife (EEFa) Clancy is part of the Clancy Legacy, the next generation of the famous Clancy Brothers, being the daughter of Bobby Clancy. Aoife is steeped in the Irish family musical traditions. She takes traditional Irish songs and mixes them with more contemporary folk, behind a big grin. http://aoifeclancy.com
On OCTOBER 9, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios, as Cornell takes Fall Break, and the Cafe at Anabel Taylor is closed. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. There will be seven more live shows in the late Fall, starting OCTOBER 16, including visits from MARK RUST, MATCHING ORANGE, AMY GALLATIN AND STILLWATERS, JOE CROOKSTON, ANNE HILLS, MUSTARD'S RETREAT, and GUY DAVIS. Details to follow.
