Tuesday 04/29
AN INTERVIEW WITH GOODING
Heartland rocker finds a cinematic side
We talk with Gooding. He's a hard rock guitarist by night with his group, The Angel/Devil, but by day he finds a more impressionistic instrumental side where he's often playing acoustic guitar over electronic backings. His albums have a charming retro design with family portraits and titles like Clap If You Love Vampires.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AHN TRIO
Classical darlings head for the serene side
The Ahn Trio are the only musicians selected in People Magazine’s 50 most beautiful people list who have ever been played on Echoes. But in between photo shoots, the Ahn Trio have been creating a modern chamber music that draws from contemporary classical composers like Kenji Bunch to canny covers of songs by Astor Piazzolla, David Bowie and Michael Nyman. We talk to this trio of Seoul sisters about their impeccable music and the dreamy atmospheres of their latest CD, Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac.

Friday 05/02
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH JAMES BLACKSHAW
An excursion into post-John Fahey raga guitar
James Blackshaw is a young English finger-style guitar who may have roots in the rustic avant-garde Americana of John Fahey, but he's finding his own sound that looks to Indian and new classical music as much as folk. He recently released the CD, The Cloud of Unknowing. James Blackshaw whips out his guitar in the Echoes Living Room.
