By Thiago Kovalenko ·
KBOO's Cascadia Coffeehouse show will begin its November programming this Friday morning with a focus on new releases in the folk and roots genres. The broadcast aims to introduce listeners to fresh material from a mix of local and national artists while maintaining the station's tradition of showcasing community-curated music.
The Friday lineup includes tracks from Mama's Broke, Lindsay Lou, and Bruce Cockburn. The program will also feature new work from Murphy Campbell, the duo Ken & Brad Kolodner, and the group Hannah & Nathan. Mad Uncle Harry is among the other new artists selected for the broadcast.
Veteran performers will also appear in the rotation. The show will play favorites from David Rawlings, Cahalen Morrison, and Pharis & Jason Romero. Other established names included in the selection are Dougie MacLean, Low Lily, and Alice Howe. The curators have also scheduled previews for upcoming concerts by Chris Smither, Emily Scott Robinson, and the pairing of Peter Rowan and Sam Grisman.
The program is part of the station's Folk Strip, which airs on weekday mornings from 5:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. A collective of approximately twelve volunteer programmers from the community selects the music. The show is hosted by Dan, who manages the format and listener interactions.
Around 6:30 a.m., the broadcast will include a segment on the Folk Calendar. This portion of the show lists concerts and festivals planned for the region over the next two months. Listeners can access show playlists and previously aired episodes through the station's website and mobile application.
KBOO encourages listeners to share details about the broadcast with friends and neighbors. The station also invites feedback and requests through the email address cascadiacoffeehouse@gmail.com.
