Spinning On Air
Vashti Bunyan & ensemble
Sunday, November 19, 2006
Earlier this year British singer/songwriter Vashti Bunyan gave her
first-ever American performance right here on Spinning On Air. Since
then she's been touring in Europe and recently returned to the U.S. to
great acclaim. When Vashti and her ensemble were in New York a few
weeks ago, they crowded into host David Garland's apartment and
performed some songs in his living room. Despite the snug fit, the
performances sound great, and you can hear them on this show. Also,
selections from a recently reissued gem of an album by guitarist/singer Robbie Basho, and a haunting songs from west coast songwriter Holcombe Waller, Canada's Wyrd Visions, and Brooklyn's Sufjan Stevens.
