A Live Audience Soiree

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

It's been several months since we've done a live audience version of Profiles in Folk and this night's show with the old-time/bluegrass/newgrass band HOE and singer-songwriters Anne Marie Menta, Mark Mirando and Katie Wilson, all accompanied by cellist Jordan Jancz, kept me wondering why we don't do this more often.
It was night of musical joy, orchestrated by HOE leader Dick Neal, and with various configurations of the artists accompanying each other both instrumentally and vocally. Plus, the audience that turned up for late night folk radio was truly supportive and wonderful.
WSHU Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich, assisted by WSHU Engineer Tony Page, secured and set up the recently renovated Schine Auditorium on the Sacred Heart University campus (home of WSHU Public Radio in Fairfield). The acoustics and broadcast sound were perfect.
Our thanks to HOE (Dick Neal, Chris Teskey, Larry Deming, Bob Csugie and Stephen K. Miller) and Anne Marie, Mark, Katie and Jordan for an inspiring and enjoyable night of music.
Unfortunately, a problem with our camera prevented us from having pictures to post. We hope that we can get a few taken by the artists and add them later.
