Nothing Compares 2 Her
She tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II in 1992 and, some years later, was ordained as Mother Bernadette Marie by a breakaway Catholic sect. Now Sinead O’Connor returns to religion on a new double CD called “Theology.” The iconoclast singer-songwriter joins us for a discussion of music and faith and plays live in studio.
Shear Energy
The band Shearwater has been riding a wave of buzz with a haunting brand of indie rock built on guitars, piano, banjo and vocals. The New York Times called their 2006 album "Palo Santo," “one of the year's best indie-rock albums.” They join us for a live performance.
Shearwater will be performing a free concert in Battery Park at 7PM on July 5. Please see their website for details.
