On this week’s Acoustic Highway, we’ll hear from Irish Singer- songwriter Foy Vance. He’s worked closely with Ed Sheeran, Elton John, and Josh Groban. Also, music from Mary Chapin Carpenter and her wonderful 2007 release entitled “The Calling.” We’ll also have a set from local artist Logan Vath and his 2013 debut cd “ Better Man or Ghost” and also Bill Gurley, with his 2012 solo release “ Break of Day.” And, naturally inspired, a few songs about the Northern Lights with music from Nick Drake, and Korby Lenker. Tune in for great Americana music. Sunday night at 9 on WHRV.
