The show’s season finale will be a two-part feature with Bruce Springsteen.
I was actually lucky enough to get to attend the episode with Levon Helm, Nick Lowe, Richard Thompson, Larry Campbell, and Allen Toussaint at the Apollo here in NYC. It was a great show, albeit a very niche program in a geeky music-nerd kind of way.

Sunday was going to be a shorter day than the prior two, ending at ten, but the lineup was going to be chock full of musical goodness. Ensuring that we were going to have the fortitude we needed meant a solid breakfast, one that was found in Maggie’s Krooked Cafe in Tannersville. Very yummy.
We missed the Felice Brothers, but I was sure to be set up well before Drive-By Truckers took the stage. I’d try to be objective here, but its not possible. I love this band.
