Hello,

I'm really excited about this Sunday's edition of The Mulberry Tree, airing February 28.  I put together a playlist of songs written when the songwriter was inspired by a city in the United States.  Each song represents its own city.  There were many to choose from, but the challenge was very enjoyable to find an hour's worth of songs I thought you would appreciate.

Below are the artists to be featured, which includes Lucinda Williams, who is joined by her band in this week's sneak peek playlist…

Hello,

I'll be acknowledging and celebrating the folk singer-songwriters and musicians that will be part of my Black History Month edition of The Mulberry Tree this Sunday, February 21. I really enjoyed putting the playlist together for us to share for an hour around the tree.  Here's the list of musicians who will grace the airwaves this Sunday, which includes Jesse Fuller’s San Francisco Bay Blues.  His song has been recorded and covered by musicians too numerous to name.  What a joy to see him perform it…

Hello,

I'll be sending out Valentine's Day themed songs to all of you on the Sunday, February 14 edition of The Mulberry Tree.  I've listed below my guest musicians and songwriters scheduled to grace the airwaves that evening, including Robert Bowlin who, accompanied by his musical partner Wil Maring, is my featured sneak peek playlist video artist.  Robert performs "It's Just What My Heart Said to Do" from a self-titled album released several years ago by Wil and Robert.  Hope to meet you around the tree!

Hello,

I've got a few songs ready to remind us of that beautiful full moon we enjoyed recently, followed by a variety of singer-songwriters and musicians whose songs seemed to come together in a nice playlist I chose just for you.  Included in the list is the late Hal Ketchum, an incredibly great songwriter who passed away last year, singing his song "Chickadee" for this week's sneak peek playlist video.

Hello,

On Sunday, January 31, I'll open the program with a song that has helped power me through the challenges of this past year that included a pandemic, political chaos, and separation from family, friends and performing music with my band mates.  That song is "The Tunnel" from My Politic, a song written by Kaston Guffey.  My list of musicians and songwriters below who will be featured on the program includes The Cactus Blossoms, who are Minneapolis-based brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey.  I chose…

Hello,

I'll be including several John Lennon songs in the January 24 edition of The Mulberry Tree, one of them performed by John Lennon himself, the others covered by familiar musicians who put their heart and soul into their version of the song they chose.  The playlist will also include singer-songwriters you've likely heard on the tree in the past, including Robert Earl Keen’s “Love’s a Word I Never Throw Around” from his album West Textures, that song being this week’s sneak peek playlist video.

Hello,

On Sunday, January 17, I will feature an hour of music I chose as I kept in mind the upcoming Inauguration on Wednesday, January 20.  I'll play a wide variety of tracks to help ready us for the historic event.  The musicians and songwriters below will provide the inspiration for the program, which includes Mary Chapin Carpenter, who is joined by the Colorado Symphony in this week's sneak peek playlist video of Mary's "Goodnight America" from the album "Between Here and Gone."

Hello,

This coming Sunday, January 10, please join me in honoring and celebrating the life of Carolyn Huber, who was the original host of The Mulberry Tree for 26 years before retiring in 2009.  She passed the torch to me that year, and now 11 years later, Carolyn has passed away, and it's time to give her a fitting acknowledgement and musical sendoff.  Below are the musicians and songwriters who will add magic to Carolyn's tribute show.  The list includes the Wailin Jennys who are highlighted in this…

Hello,

Happy New Year 2021 from The Mulberry Tree! I thought a great way to begin the new year would be to acknowledge how the month of January usually gifts us with cold, wintry weather here in the Ozarks. I've got a wide variety of songs about the snow, ice, cold temperatures,etc.ready for us to enjoy.  I hope you'll be able to join me and that you have a place to  be warm and comfortable.  Even if you live alone, you are never alone when you're around the tree with me.  Let's enjoy the music together…

Hello,

This Sunday, December 27 on The Mulberry Tree, I created a playlist of songs about the subject of time, as we approach the beginning of the new year 2021.  I certainly hope the times ahead are filled with hope and positive changes that benefit us all.  Below are the musicians and songwriters who will fill the airwaves for the one hour we spend together around the tree.  Featured for this week's sneak peek playlist video is Gregory Alan Isokov with "Time Will Tell" from his collection titled "The…
