Emily Higgins: The Mulberry Tree

This week's show will take us way back...Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jefferson Airplane, Creedence Clearwater Revival, plus some releases from the 90's.

It will be a fun adventure, so please join me!

Hi out there faithful listeners!

This evening's show will be really fun, as it begins with a great band of young fellas who call themselves Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band. I first heard of the band in 2005 when my mother (just a couple of years before hear death at the age of at 84), stole the CD from my niece Laura who was a big fan of the Rubber Band. Mom called me on the phone and said "Em...you HAVE to hear this song!.....It's called "Dream Big." She made me promise I'd take a listen. I did, so the first song of the show is for mom.

Eliza Gilkyson, Ben Harper, Tuck and Patti, Elton John, Alison Krauss/Robert Plant, and Terry McGuiness (all the way from Ireland!) round out the show.

Thanks to all who have stopped to say hello. I appreciate you and send song suggestions my way any time.

Emily

Greetings!

This coming Sunday's edition of The Mulberry Tree will really be a blast. I'll be acknowledging my sister Mary Jane's birthday, coming up on August 20th. We like to sing together whenever we get the chance, so I've picked out some of her favorites, and some that we choose when we feel like singing.

I'll be featuring tracks from the brother/sister duo Tim and Mollie O'Brien, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Nanci Griffith, Ricky Skaggs, Michael Martin Murphy, Ray Bonneville, The Beatles, Eva Cassidy, Pete Seeger and Tommy Emmanuel.

Stay tuned and remember if you have suggestions or comments, or just want to say hello, feel free to drop a line to:

August 8th was a great show...I wasn't on the ball enough to post something here to let you in on some of the artists I was going to feature last Sunday. So if you want to view the playlist from that show, here's the link to KSMU:

This Sunday's edition of The Mulberry Tree will be extra fun, where I'll share my with you my interview with singer/songwriter Sara Watkins, formerly of Nickel Creek. Sara was in Springfield on July 9th opening for singer/songwriter Dar Williams, who I interviewed on last week's show. I'll feature some of Sara's music from her new self-titled release, and some of her former work with Nickel Creek.

Also this Sunday you'll hear tracks from Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez, Cosy Sheridan, Richard Shindell (with Dar Williams and Lucy Kaplansky from their "Cry, Cry, Cry release), and very special songs from songwriter Jimmy Webb's newest release where he is joined by Billy Joel, Jerry Douglas and Mark Knopfler.

Hope you'll be joining me under "the tree!" at 10 p.m. CST, KSMU 91.1 FM in Springfield, Missouri and streaming live at www.ksmu.org.
