Tony Trischka on WFDU 2/15
Tony Trischka will be the featured guest on tomorrow’s (2/15) edition of Lonesome Pine RFD on WFDU-FM, broadcast in the New York City metro area.
He will join host Carol Beaugard for a discussion about his upcoming CD release, Territory, and perform tunes live in the studio. Carol also plans to ask Tony about the success he enjoyed in 2007 with his Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular which involved Tony performing banjo duets with some of the most celebrated five stringers on earth.
Banjo players and bluegrass history buffs should be especially interested in this interview as Carol and Tony will place a phone call to Judy Thompson to talk about her late husband, banjo legend Bobby Thompson. She will discuss Bobby’s career with Tony and share details about the two posthumously released CDs of his music which Judy has produced.
The show is broadcast live on 89.1 FM in the NYC area, and streamed live online at WFDU.fm. The Trischka interview segment begins at 10:00 a.m. (EST).
