Elvis Costello & the Sugarcanes Live from the Artist’s Den

A private concert for 500 lucky fans. Watch Sunday, June 5, 2011 at 3pm on KCPT2.

Recorded November 2, 2010, at The New York Public Library, New York, NY.
Since Elvis Costello’s debut album, My Aim Is True, was released in 1977, his musical eclecticism and fiercely literate lyrics have earned him recognition as one of the most innovative and influential songwriters since Bob Dylan. While his songs have been recorded by music legends such as Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Chet Baker, he is best known for his own performances with The Attractions (with whom he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003) and The Imposters.

On the evening of November 2, Elvis Costello gave a private concert for 500 lucky fans to celebrate the release of his new album, National Ransom, that day. Within the ornate and awe-inspiring Celeste Bartos Forum in The New York Public Library’s world-famous Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Costello – along with the Sugarcanes and Pete Thomas on drums – performed new songs from National Ransom as well as hits spanning his three-decades-and-counting career.

Song List
“I Lost You”
“Blame It On Cain”
“Dr. Watson, I Presume”

Old Crow Medicine Show: Live at Orange Peel & Tennessee Theatre

A rocking spin on old-time string band music. Watch Wednesday, June 1, 7pm.
Old Crow Medicine Show puts a rocking spin on old-time string band music. The young quintet came together in New York and perfected its repertoire of early 20th century rags, hollers, bluegrass and folk songs while busking in Canada. Discovered by Doc Watson’s daughter, the band played the country/folk legend’s Merlefest and relocated to Nashville.Alternatively labeled alt-country, bluegrass and Americana, the American roots band Old Crow Medicine Show brings its string-centric style to Tennessee for these two live performances from December 2008. In addition to performing favorites from their three studio albums, the guys treat fans to a number of tunes they haven’t recorded, including “Whelling Breakdown,” “Raise a Ruckus” and “Sally Anne.” Watch Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 7pm. 

Get tickets to see Old Crow Medicine Show live at The Crossroads on June 15, 2011.
