INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK

Monday 11/17
AN INTERVIEW WITH SUMNER MCKANE
Ambient Americana that takes nostalgia and sends it into space
It's been several years now that guitarist Sumner McKane has been releasing albums of evocative soundscapes dipped in Americana as cinematic as a John Ford western and as nuanced as an Andrew Wyeth painting. But McKane's landscapes are tinged in ambient atmospheres and pulled by an undertow of psychedelia that makes it some of the most unassumingly mind-bending music of the decade. In his home north of Portland, Maine, Sumner McKane takes us through the photo album of "What A Great Place to Be."

Tuesday 11/18
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SUNDAD
A father and son duo converge on dualing guitars in a modern instrumental landscape
Their names are easy to remember, John Eurell Sr. and John Eurell Jr., and the music they make as the father-son duo Sundad is equally memorable. In their Connecticut living room, Sundad trades acoustic guitar licks, mixing new acoustic, world fusion and a touch of Americana.

Wednesday 11/19
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SOLAS
Veteran Celtic band plays live on Echoes

For more than a decade, the Irish band called Solas has been reinventing Celtic music with original songs and imaginative arrangements of traditional tunes. Headed up by multi-instrumentalist Seamus Egan, Solas continues to find new life in a sound based in the Irish isle. We'll hear them playing music from their latest CD, For Love and Laughter, live on Echoes.

Thursday 11/20
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MARCIN WASILEWSKI TRIO
Chamber jazz from Poland

The Marcin Wasilewski Trio are just barely old enough to remember communist rule in Poland, but to them, jazz represented freedom. They express that freedom in intuitive, and often introspective improvisations that play with colors as much as notes. We talk to these three musicians who have been playing together since they were teenagers.

Friday 11/21
We hear music from M83. Their recent album, Saturdays=Youth, picks up on that dreamy French electronica sound pioneered by fellow countrymen, Air. We also dip into a re-issue of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno’s ambient classic, Evening Star.
