On your radio March 15—
Bobbie Henrie & Aaron Lipp
Originally broadcast 9/23/2018
Bobby Henrie is a performer of exceptional ability and range. His early days as an astounding child prodigy shaped his talent and love of eclecticism which includes most traditional music from old-time country to rockabilly and swing. As a guitarist with an unorthodox (flipped, lefty) technique, he can rip through a heady brew of raw roots rock, blistering flatpicking, smoking blues or smooth jazz. Bobby holds a degree in Jazz Guitar from SUNY Geneseo and is adept at writing material with a classic yet contemporary flair. In addition to the playing in the group Bobby Henrie & the Goners, Bobby plays in the bluegrass bands Cornerstone and Paris Texas. He is a founding member of the Gypsy Jazz band–The Djangoners–and has been performing with his four brothers in the Henrie Brothers StringBand since 1974.
Aaron Lipp is from Naples, NY and has been a professional musician since age 16. Throughout a multitude of different genre adventures and instrumentation, he has found home in traditional Appalachian old-time music, classic bluegrass sounds, and the blues–all fused into a new sound of the next generation.
Aaron grew up in a musical family and began playing piano at age four. In 2006, Aaron joined Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, a local Rochester Original Roots Reggae and Dub band. He played a multitude of instruments for the group including Hammond B3 Organ, slide guitar, harmonica, lap steel, guitar, and banjo. While Giant Panda logged nearly half a million miles touring, Aaron was diving heavily into Old Time and Bluegrass music, learning clawhammer banjo, bottleneck slide guitar, blues harp, old time fiddle, and upright bass.
Since 2013, Aaron has come off the road to pursue varied musical projects and songwriting. He can be found playing regionally with his group The Cabin Killers and a host of other bands.
LIVE Bound for Glory!
Low Lily
March 22, 2:00 pm
at the Lansing Area Performance Hall
“Deftly understated virtuosity, tight arrangements, freshness of sound and clarity of musical vision.”—Fatea
With the release of their 2023 album ‘Angels in the Wreckage’ (produced by Dirk Powell), the Vermont-based American Roots band Low Lily brought their infectious sound to a new level. With the energy of fiddle music, the introspective quality of contemporary folk, the precision of bluegrass, and the drive of Americana, the members of Low Lily (Liz Simmons, Flynn Cohen, and Natalie Padilla) combine their individual talents into one stunning soundscape.
Low Lily has shared their signature sound with enthusiastic audiences throughout North America and the UK, garnering two #1 songs on international folk radio and two Independent Music Award wins. In 2018, the band released a full-length album with 2X award-winning title track “10,000 Days Like These” and their original song “Hope Lingers On”, which has been sung by choirs around the world as an anthem for peace and justice.
Come join us for Bound for Glory’s monthly live shows on the fourth Sunday of each month at 2 pm in the Lansing Area Performance Hall at 1004 Auburn Road (Route 34), North Lansing, NY.
On your radio March 22—Michael Jerling
Originally broadcast 5/11/2014
Born and raised in Illinois, and settled in Saratoga Springs, New York, Michael Jerling has been a noted artist on the club, college, and festival circuits throughout North America since 1975. His live shows are buoyed by his sharp sense of humor, and he backs up his smooth baritone voice with consummate skill on six- and twelve-string guitars, harmonica, and mandolin.
He transcends folk music and the category of singer-songwriter.” Any music is good music,” Michael says, adding that he’s “not limited by purism.” He was exposed to a broad variety of music while managing a college coffeehouse in Wisconsin, at which traveling acoustic musicians would play and Michael would listen.
He’s been among the winners of the prestigious New Folk competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival, and his song “Long Black Wall” was included on a Smithsonian Folkways CD celebrating twenty years of Fast Folk. Michael’s latest CD, last fall’s “Halfway Home” on his Fool’s Hill Music label, offers fourteen new, original songs, and his previous release, 2009’s “Music Here Tonight,” was recorded live at the legendary Caffè Lena in Saratoga Springs.
On your radio March 29—Mike Agranoff
Originally broadcast 10/5/2014
“Mike is a whirlwind and puts on a very live show.”—Folk Music Society of Huntington, Huntington, NY
Mike Agranoff puts a lie to the notion that folk music is boring. Of course, if you’ve been around the folk scene at all in the Northeast, you’ve probably seen him. He’s that tall guy with the red beard and the leather fisherman’s cap. His repertoire is vast and varied. More a singer-songfinder than a singer-songwriter, Mike combs the canon of contemporary and traditional songs for little-known gems, puts his unique stamp on them, and brings them to the stage. If you’re sick of the endless stream of singer songwriters who write for the market, you will find Mike to be a refreshing alternative. He makes us laugh, cry and think, all the while entertaining us long into any evening of music.

On your radio April 12—Kora Feder
Originally broadcast 7/21/2019
Kora Feder is a rising voice in the new generation of folk songwriters up to the task of confronting the times we live in. “The most talented new singer-songwriter I’ve heard in the past decade,” says Rich Warren, host of Chicago’s Folkstage. The year 2019 brings the release of her first full length album, “In Sevens”. Released in April, the record has already drawn comparison to Pete Seeger (Roots Music Report) and been called “stunningly good” (Ear to the Ground).
Feder holds a degree in Global Studies with a focus on songwriting as empowerment in indigenous and migrant communities. She spent two years wielding a backpack and guitar in places like China, India, Thailand and Italy. While attending lectures, writing essays and leading songwriting workshops, she composed a collection of songs that reflect stories encountered along the way. In 2017 she graduated and recorded her debut solo EP, “Marigolds”. The set of 5 original songs was met with glowing reviews, described as “a melodic salutation to all that is neglected and forgotten by a world at the mercy of Father Time; the carefully conceived work of a thoroughly engaging and exceptionally capable storyteller” (A Lonely Ghost Burning, UK).
Feder grew up in the Northern California music scene playing clawhammer banjo and mandolin with parents Rita Hosking and Sean Feder. Performing both as a solo singer-songwriter and supporting instrumentalist since the age of 15, Feder has appeared on stages across the world. She currently calls Brooklyn, New York, home.
