Golden Ghost
Sunday, May 11, 2008
The music of Golden Ghost isn’t spooky, but there’s something uncanny about it. What’s uncanny is the way these songs can be a bit strange, but nevertheless connect so surprisingly and affectingly to the listener in a very human way. Singer, guitarist and songwriter Laura Goetz is Golden Ghost, and she brings her boisterous and introspective songs to the WNYC Studio. She’s joined in her performances by Viking Moses (Brendon Massei) on bass and vocals, with a little assist from host David Garland on piano.

Fern Knight
Sunday, May 04, 2008
Evoking a kind of medieval psychedelia, inspiring visions of suits of armor and electric guitars in fern forests, the Philadelphia band Fern Knight plays their music in the WNYC Studio. With cello, guitar, electric violin, harp, percussion, and vocals they make music that's lyrical and gently noisy. Host David Garland talks with them about their myths and music.
