Country, Cuban and Cajun: Raul Malo & The Mavericks; The Pine Leaf Boys (live)

We meet Raul Malo, the Miami-born and Cuban-descended singer and leader of The Mavericks, known for country, pop and roots rock. We’ll talk about that and Latin music, all behind the band’s huge success in country music and their recent successful all Spanish language recording. Then, a live concert and conversation with the Pine Leaf Boys as Louisiana French two-steps meet rock n roll. Plus music from Celia Cruz, Patsy Cline, Los Lobos and Professor Longhair.

JOHN PRINE

November 12th, 2014

Join us for a two-hour visit with John Prine as he walks us through his life—from urban Illinois backwards to Muhlenberg County, Kentucky—and catalog. For over 35 years, the singer and guitarist has written and performed songs which present a slightly off-kilter and darkly humorous look at working class America. We’ll also talk agitprop with the man who has written Vietnam-era protest songs like “Take the Star Out of the Window” and “Sam Stone,” and environmental broadsides such as “Paradise.” There are also performances of Prine’s songs by others and more in this two-hour visit with one of America’s leading songwriters.
