LIVE Bound for Glory!
Lloyd’s Boys
October 25, 2:00 pm
at the Lansing Area Performance Hall
Ithaca-based band Lloyd’s Boys is a self-described hillbilly swing band that plays country, blues, and other genres. It is the sort of stellar band you might find gathering a crowd on the street corners of New Orleans or Memphis, playing lively music with an infectious groove. They play swing, blues, and country music from the late 1920s through the 1940s.
The band consists of Lloyd Graves (Hawaiian steel guitar, harmonicas, tenor guitar), Jerone Gagliano (fiddle, rhythm guitar), Harry Aceto (rhythm and lead guitar), Stuart Krasnoff (washboard, bells, whistles, percussion), and Dave Davies (upright bass). These boys can sing, too! Dancing encouraged.
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. Admission—as always—is free, but we are encouraging donations for the performers.

On your radio October 25—Pierce Pettis
Originally broadcast 10/19/2008
“Alabama-born Pettis wrestles with the big issues of life, love, family, and community; displaying a southerner’s gift for the revealing detail: old home movies, a dress undone, the drone of power lines, a stuffed bear lost in a child’s busy room. His wispy baritone seems always to be searching, but never whining; as if he is trying to figure these things out with us as he sings.” — The Boston Globe
Pierce Pettis has performed in all 48 continental states as well as in Canada and Europe, and appeared on countless radio and TV programs. Right now he’s touring in support of his latest release on Compass Records, “Great Big World.” It’s his eighth album (his first three were on Windham Hill/High Street), and if you’re in the audience this weekend, you’ll be among the first with the chance to grab a pre-release copy of “That Kind of Love,” the ninth album that’s officially due in early 2009.
Pierce’s music is distinguished by his uncanny ability to capture the universals in human experience by drawing on the sadness and humor in daily life. His music can simultaneously pull on our hearts and keep us laughing. For the new album, Pierce rejoined “State of Grace” producer Garry West for what’s been called “a masterpiece” and “his best yet.”
On your radio November 1—Ernie & Andy Lawrence
Originally broadcast 7/18/2010
“Their guitar work is versatile and intricate. They take turns leading guitar and vocals, using voices that blend like family. If you see their names anywhere, go see them.”—Sue Hengelsberg
A father-and-son duo from Perry, New York, Ernie and Andy Lawrence play music that has deep roots in blues, jazz, old country, and spirituals. They’ve been playing clubs, coffeehouses, and festivals around Western New York for the last three years.
Ernie played rock music in bands and folk music in coffeehouses in the early 1970s, and got his son started on guitar in his early teens. Andy went on to perform in bands and as a solo act around Western New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati, and they began to play together when Andy moved back to WNY in 2007.
On your radio November 8—Cosy Sheridan
Originally broadcast 1/25/2015
“…one of the era’s finest and most thoughtful singer-songwriters.”
Cosy Sheridan first caught the attention of national folk audiences in 1992 when she won both the Kerrville Folk Festival’s NewFolk Award and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest. Soon after, she released her critically-acclaimed debut CD Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. Since then she’s released nine more CDs, taught songwriting at workshops and camps across the country, and written a one-woman-show entitled The Pomegranate Seed – An Exploration of Appetite, Body-Image and Myth. Cosy Sheridan is one of the most respected touring musicians on the folk circuit, appearing everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Jerry Lewis Telethon and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. For the past 18 years, she has taught classes in songwriting, performance and guitar at workshops and adult music camps across the country including The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and The Swannanoa Gathering.
Her concerts are wide-ranging explorations of modern mythology (meet Hades the Biker), love songs for adults, contemporary philosophy for the thoughtfully-minded, children’s stories woven into tales of modern adulthood, and her signature parody on aging and women. Throughout this journey, her lyrical dexterity is backed by her distinctive, percussive bluesy-gospel guitar style. Cosy brings a depth of experience to her craft. The Cornell Folksong Society wrote: “Sheridan is frank, feisty, sublimely and devilishly funny. She fuses myth with modern culture; Persephone with Botox.”
On your radio November 15—David Roth
Originally broadcast 3/3/2013
“David has reached our hearts. With voices like his still singing, there’s a certainty that the candle will remain lit, the hope reasserted, and the dream still sung…”—Peter Yarrow
At the intersection where song, spirit, and speaking meet, David Roth writes about most everything you can imagine. He strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, sense of the hilarious, and powerful singing and subject matter.
David’s songs have found their way to Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the Kennedy Center, and the classic folk song book “Rise Up Singing.” He’s also been featured on many of Christine Lavin’s Rounder compilations, and has taught singing, songwriting, and performance at countless workshops and festivals.
