There has been a steep decline in union representation across the US over the past few decades. This makes Labor Day more important than ever as we celebrate leaders who helped organize and provide for a better standard of living for the American worker. On this week’s program, we’ll hear music that has been used over the years to excite the labor force: Paul Robeson, The Seattle Labor Chorus, Hazel Dickens, Florence Reese, Joe Glazer and many more. A reminder of the significance of workers … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

There has been abundant coverage of the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock. This week on the show, we’ll look back at a festival held the following weekend. The Philadelphia Folk Festival shared only a few performers but continued the mellow vibe established in Bethel, New York. The 1969 Philly Folk Fest included The Rev. Gary Davis, Doc and Merle Watson, Bonnie Dobson, Rosalie Sorrells, Jerry Jeff Walker and the only carryover from Woodstock: The Incredible String Band. We'll hear music from all of these performers and more as we celebrate that other festival in August 1969. It’s the summer of love, folkie-style … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

Roots music is more popular than ever. Perhaps it’s a reaction to the sterile, synthetic pop music we are subjected to daily. There’s something comforting about listening to a musician who is playing the music he loves not for the money. The blues, in particular, has made a resurgence lately. And on this week’s show, we’ll hear some recent blues releases including a bit of swing and jug band from all over the world: Duke Robillard, Keb' Mo', The Jake Leg Jug Band, The Muddy Basin Ramblers and many more. We’re celebrating blues power … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

In Pennsylvania, where I grew up, every wedding reception or activity featured a polka band. Most kids in the 1960s would rather be anywhere else than sitting with your parents and listening to this “uncool” music. Leap forward to the 1970s when Cajun and Zydeco music along with conjunto sounds became very popular many minds were changed and all of a sudden the accordion was cool. Since 1989, June has been designated as National Accordion Awareness Month and this week on the show, we'll explore many styles of accordion music. We’ll hear Charm City Junction, Flaco Jimenez, Sharon Shannon, John Kirkpatrick with Richard Thompson and many more. We’re squeezing bellows … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
