Phil Shapiro & Carrie Shore
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
Proud practioners of the American folk tradition, Phil Shapiro is a folksinger and guitarist, and Carrie Shore is a fiddle player, singer and harmonizer. Together they play fascinating, energetic songs from the last couple hundred years of American traditional song, and add newer songs written squarely in the folk tradition.
Carrie, a classically trained violinist, has a super repertoire of fiddle tunes, and Phil is a fine finger-style guitarist, creative and lively, good at getting his guitar to "talk", to be part of the song and the story. And true to the folk tradition, the other part of the equation is The Audience, which sings right back under Phil and Carrie's skillful direction.
Just in case you don't recognize his name in this context, this is the Phil Shapiro who hosts WVBR's Bound for Glory radio show, North America's longest-running live folk concert, broadcast on Sunday nights out of Ithaca NY since 1967.
