James Taylor Performs on 'Austin City Limits'

On this week’s Acoustic Highway, we’ll hear from the Brooklyn based trio Lone Bellow and a track from their 2021 release “Half-Moon Light.” Also, a great selection of classic tracks from Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin, Phoebe Snow, and James Taylor. We’ll also hear new music from Ruth Moody, who is a part of the Canadian based “Wailin Jennys” Band. She has a new solo release entitled Wanderer. And, selections from regional artists Mare Carmody and Doug Alan Wilcox. Doug will be in town performing at the Suffolk Center for the Arts, in August. It’s a full Highway. Sunday Night at 9 on WHRV.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
