Vashti Bunyan (David Garland/WNYC)
This show first aired in March, 2006, and is a rebroadcast on the occasion of Vashti Bunyan's upcoming return to New York for showings of Kieran Evans' documentary film Vashti Bunyan: From Here To Before at 92YTribeca on Oct. 16 and 17.
British songwriter Vashti Bunyan visits Spinning On Air for her first American performance and radio interview. Her second album, “Lookaftering,” was released 35 years after her first album, and the story of her earlier artistic discouragement and current renewal of creativity is moving and fascinating. Despite the obscurity of Vashti's early work, her music has become an important influence on young "freak-folk" songwriters such as Devendra Banhart. For this show, Vashti joins host David Garland to talk about her life and music, and to perform some songs with guitarist Kevin Barker in the WNYC Studio.
