Hello everyone,
I hope you're all having a festive season so far! Episode #13 - lucky #13! - features some of my favorite seasonal and holiday songs. Some of them are new favorites, but many have been on my seasonal playlist for years. I delved deep into Sufjan Stevens' abundance of holiday albums, and picked out many songs to anchor this episode. Also featured are Sarah McLachlan, Dar Williams, and a few surprises. It's nice to re-visit old favorites and find new ones for the coming years.
Here's hoping everyone has a peaceful and joyous season, and a very happy start to 2014!
Take care,
DJ Blue

Hello everyone,
I'm excited to tell you about episode #12, which will air this weekend on SpiritPlants Radio. It features many of my favorites, and a few people I've just recently discovered. You'll recognize many of the names on the playlist if you've listened to my show before: Sarah Jarosz, Hem, Chris Pureka, and others. One of the names may not be familiar on its own, but Aiofe O'Donovan is a member of one my favorite bands, Crooked Still, and has just recently put out a great solo album. This is in addition to her great guest work with the Dave Douglas Quintet, which I've also included. As always, be sure to check out the schedule on SpiritPlants Radio, and check out some of the other great shows on tap this weekend.
I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend! It's always nice to feel autumn making its way into the area, but these last weeks of summer are sweet, too.
Take care,
DJ Blue

Hello everyone,
I hope you're enjoying this weekend's programming on SpiritPlants Radio! I'm posting a bit late about my 11th show - too much time enjoying the beautiful spring weather here in New England! This show, like many others, featured some new artists that I've recently learned about, along with a few old favorites. Sera Cahoone is a particularly good find this go 'round, along with a few songs from Sarah Jarosz's most recent album. Patty Griffin's "Ohio" from her newest album will knock your socks off.
I hope you enjoy listening to this show as much as I enjoyed making it! It's hard not to appreciate good music when the air outside is so fresh and green!
Take care,

Hi everyone,
Happy (almost) spring! It certainly doesn't feel like spring here today, with all the snow we've gotten. This week, I'm celebrating my tenth episode by playing some newer (to me at least) songs that I've been particularly enjoying. While you may recognize quite a few of the names from past shows, I've tried to throw in a few songs from artists I haven't played before - Bruce Robison & Kelly Willis, Of Monsters and Men, and First Aid Kit have all had new(ish) albums lately, and I'm happy to add them into my mix. Hope you enjoy the show!
Don't forget to tune into all the other great shows on SpiritPlants Radio this week. We seem to always have something for everyone :)
