Sunday Supper: 01/09/22

The first week of January has been eventful. Beyond the Omicron surge, it was the first anniversary of the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol and the 75th anniversary of David Bowie's birth. This week's "Sunday Supper" will mark those two very different events with: 1) a medley of new topical songs by Corey Harris, Grant Peeples, and others; and 2) some unconventional covers of Bowie songs by Richard Barone, Happy Rhodes, Emily Mure, and Seu Jorge.

The release of the first studio album in 10 years by the Slambovian Circus of Dreams certainly qualifies as an event, so I'll share my favorite track from A Very Unusual Head. I'll also preview Tuesday's intrepid "On Your Radar," which will take place with strict Covid precautions at Rockwood Music Hall with Kate McDonnell, Thin Lear, and Nico Padden.

Making every Sunday a listening event from 5-6 p.m. at 90.7 FM and wfuv.org or anytime in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app, or the noteworthy smart speaker of your choice.
