Tuesday is Acoustic Blender - WESU FM, Middletown CT night even in these troubled times. Dana Merritt, a fantastic guitarist, will be live in the studio for most of the first hour. There's a Double Bill: Hiroya Tsukamoto / Dana Merritt at The Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts & Cultural Center coming up this Friday and we'll hear about that.

The concert listing comes on around 7:00 and we're hear from some of those folks like Kate Campbell, Plywood Cowboy, Hiroya Tsukamoto ????, Parsonsfield (Parsonsfield in Fairfield, CT), North Sea Gas, Jez Lowe @ The Sounding Board, AND birthday music for Gillian Welch and Marty Stuart. Hoping to squeeze in some new music from Billy Strings, The Meadows Brothers and more, but also want to play something from The New Lost City Ramblers in honor of Tom Paley's passing and from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in honor of Tom's untimely passing. If there is time, something from Woody Guthrie to note the 50th anniversary of his passing this day.

Tune in from 6-8pm TONIGHT to WESU Middletown, 88.1 FM and streaming and archived for two weeks at www.wesufm.org.
