Listen to
Irene Trudel on WFMU in real time,
Mondays from 3 to 6pm (eastern standard/daylight time)
Upcoming Live Performances:
Monday November 10th: Neal Halstead, followed by Micah Blue Smaldone - Former shoegazer turned "Nylon Rocker" Neil Halstead has writing been beautiful, gently-paced songs for many years. In recent years Halstead has been an integral member of the UK band Mojave 3, occasionally stepping out for solo stints. Neil recently released an album called "Oh! Mighty Engine," and he brings his trio to WFMU for a few live tunes.
Then, Micah Blue Smaldone, favors songwriting that harkens back to an earlier age. This native of Kennebunkport, Maine began his musical career as a punker but found folk music with a 12-string far more satisfying. In addition to releasing several solo discs, Smaldone also performs with Fire On Fire and Death Vessel. Micah did a few tunes for Irene on a recent swing through town on the eve of his latest album release, "The Red River."
Monday November 17th: Jason Crigler - It's a miracle
guitarist/singer/songwriter Jason Crigler is functional, much less
alive today. Four years ago Crigler suffered a massive brain
hemorrhage while on stage at a performance. Jason had been a much
sought-after session guitarist, playing and touring with stellar
musicians like Linda and Teddy Thompson and Marshall Crenshaw. His
remarkable recovery is also the subject of a documentary, "Life.
Support. Music" Jason Crigler drops by to tell his story, and play
selections from a new tribute CD in his honor.

Monday November 24th: Lacrymosa - Lacrymosa is the solo-moniker of
Caitlin Pasko. The 20-year-old from Virginia Beach, VA, following a
classical upbringing, and quickly showed a preternatural genius for
piano-driven impressionistic songs. Pasko's musical style is a
dramatic melding of Regina Spektor, Kate Bush, and maybe even a
touch of Laura Nyro. Lacrymosa plays a few live tunes from WFMU.

Monday December 15th: Tall Firs - Angular rock at a loping pace
might be a quick way of describing Tall Firs. The trio of Dave Mies,
Aaron Mullan and Ryan Sawyer say of their music: "the results are
like a fine cough syrup: A confusing, bittersweet concoction laced
with just enough speed to keep you feeling a bit better about the
world of sickness closing in around you." Writer David Fricke
described one Tall Firs live set in his Fricke's Picks column: "A
gently uplifting highlight of my...weekend...a psychedelic-folk
tangle of spider-leg-guitar arpeggios and hazy, bong-room singalong
harmonies." They stop by WFMU to play live.
