Spinning On Air
Vashti Bunyan (WNYC/David Garland)
Vashti Bunyan
Sunday, August 27, 2006
British songwriter Vashti Bunyan visits Spinning On Air for her first
American performance and radio interview. Her new, 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 been 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 in the WNYC Studio.
