When the No-Show Bug Goes Around
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
An epidemic of cancellations has rocked the music world this fall, whether it's soul singer Amy Winehouse (a stint in rehab), rock act The White Stripes (acute anxiety). Today, we examine why cancellations occur and we talk to Nick Luca, front man for the band Luca, who has a harrowing tale of ill-health on the road. Also: Indian-born, New York-based singer Kiran Ahluwalia is one of the more eclectic voices on the world music scene. She specializes in Ghazal (classical love songs) and Punjab folk music but blends them with Portuguese fado African blues, jazz and more. She performs live in the studio.
