We're at The Bucktown Revue Friday (Sept. 26)
We’re getting ready for another rousing season of fake radio programs.
Well, they’re not really fake. They are programs, they are recorded, and they are broadcast via the World Wide Web -- thus neatly sidestepping networks, syndicators, program directors, and all of those little details. (Also side-stepping profits, but why worry about a little think like money.)
Perform, record, mix and put it up on iTunes. Nothing to it.
This year’s show will be at the River Music Experience in downtown Davenport. The RME is the former Peterson Harned Von Maur department store, 129 Main Street, Davenport, Iowa. The facility has been refurbished to have a new lease of life -- which is appropriate, because some of us in the show have been similarly refurbished and made ready for another trot around the track.
The show features folk music, humor and poetry. The guests for the first program include Quad-Cities poet laureate Dale Haake; hammered dulcimer player Linda Shoesmith and Reg Shoesmith; storyteller Steve Marriott; jazz singer Lionel Marcoux and pianist Margaret Skinner; and Irish dancer Katie Davis.
All that for $7 at 7 p.m. this Friday -- Sept. 26. Doors open at 6:30.
The show is brought to you by the same people who performed last year’s edition, The River City Radio Hour. Mr. Scott Tunnicliff continues as MC, and the Barley House Band will similarly extend their acclaimed run as the show’s house orchestra.
The Bucktown Revue will continue monthly through April. For more info, check out the Bucktown Revue’s website, www.bucktownrevue.com.
As a little bonus, here are the rough mixes to two selections off The Barley House Band’s new CD, “The Strand.”
