LISTENABLE MUSIC NEWS FEATURES, ONLINE
We've selected three to recommend.
• DEL McCOURY and his son RONNIE talk about how the touring band became a family affair and what it's like to have three generations of McCourys playing on their new album, "DEL McCOURY STILL SINGS BLUEGRASS."
Listen at:
https://www.npr.org/2018/05/27/614810144/del-mccoury-on-bluegrass-and-life-on-the-road
• JOHN PRINE dropped by NPR Music's "World Cafe" on Friday, June 1, to perform and discuss highlights from his new album, "THE TREE OF FORGIVENESS," sharing stories about "the relegated Pluto and a bar in heaven that also happens to be the title of the LP." Since the whole US hears the show except L.A., we thought you'd like to know to find it online.
Listen at:
https://www.npr.org/sections/world-cafe/2018/06/01/616122495/john-prine-on-world-cafe
• ERIN RAE's "Putting On Airs" can be heard NOW on a special link, a week ahead of its release via NPR Music's "First Listen." (Since L.A. peeps can't hear that show, either, on any NPR broadcast station in town, we're glad to offer you a leg up on everyone else for this one.)
Haven't heard of Erin Rae? Ann Powers writes in "First Listen":
"Repeated listening to Erin Rae's latest album brings riddles... to mind. Erin Rae is a singer-songwriter adept in making personal inquiries feel universal; in Nashville, where she lives, listeners flock to her shows to absorb her lucent energy and the insights she offers without fuss. To really appreciate the gift of her music, however, you have to spend time with it: to bring your own calm to the experience, taking time to notice the way she tells stories about the moments before an intimate confession, or the hours spent in solitude afterward, or the times when you're just hanging out wondering if the courage to share what's important will ever come. "What happens in the art of intimacy, of what happens in the space between us?" the writer Stacey D'Erasmo once asked. The songs on Putting On Airs ask the same question. The answers are sometimes sad, but beautiful."

TODAY IN HISTORY...
* 50 years ago today, after winning the California Primary and headed for the Democratic party's nomination for the Presidency, Senator ROBERT F. KENNEDY died from gunshot wounds received in the kitchen pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles the night before.
* 74 years ago today -- and it, too, was a Tuesday -- pre-dawn paratroop landings behind the coast and amphibious assaults on the beaches of Normandy brought Allied troops onto the shores of Nazi-occupied France. It was the long-awaited opening of the Western Front. Germany would fall 11 months later, as Soviet troops took Berlin and US, British, Free French, Australian, and other forces liberated Western Europe. Still, WW II continued, as the defeat of imperial Japan was still an unknown number of months, and two atomic bombs, away.

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS – and views of interest to artists everywhere – more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music. That includes both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues (now undergoing a major update), and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues from the monumentally large to the intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops, conferences, and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the swamp water roots of the blues and the bright lights of where the music is headed now.
