Routes & Branches & Beyond, show # 239 for 25 Aug 2022 by Ivan Emke

This is about the time of the month when we say to August, "so long, and thanks for all the rain!" So on "Routes & Branches & Beyond" we have one more set of August rambles. There are mandolin marches, Irish buskers, reels of abandon (not to be confused with "real" abandon), sleep-inducing herbal remedies, high brow diddly-diddly music, Afro-European sacred stylings, Cape Verdean blues, de-folklorized ribabs, Gaelic deep atmosphere, DADGAD reverie, great big sea squared, Tejano fiestas, feathers and lost dogs. With musicians such as the Mandolin Orchestra of Niagara, Kevin Burke & Mícheál Ó Domhnaill, Matt Cranitch & Jackie Daly, Maria Moramarco, Ana Firmino & Tito Paris, Ribab Fusion, Brìghde Chaimbeul, Dáithí Sproule, Grupo Fantasma and Roseanne Cash. Hop on board.
