28.09.10 Tuesday Night Diner - 'Kate Burkart Edition'

Francisco-based singer-songwriter Kate Burkart. This Americana-tinged artist cut her teeth on the dry, dusty, western plains of...Boston? She writes her melodies on that most noble of all composition instruments...electric bass? And she sings her brave, gritty songs of heartbreaks, breakups, and messy endings with...a warm, silky smooth voice?



Yes, contradictions abound. But Kate recently recruited some elite musicians, and released a fine album, Faith To Fall. I was like a kid in a candy store when I finally got to talk music with her. She gamely fielded all my questions—both on and off the air--about how this came together. We'll sample some gems off the album, and learn about her upcoming gigs, and even why a singer-songwriter would pick up the bass as her first instrument. It was a fun chat, and we'll also hear a track from another incredible singer-songwriter who shared a bill with her, Lindy LaFontaine.  


Check out Kate's music. It's beautiful, mellow, rootsy, and eloquently describes romantic situations that we've all been subjected to.

And as you now know, even though this show airs on September 28th, somehow, it qualifies as being early October. Since October is such a great month, here at Recharged Radio, we've decided to start it a little early. (Yes, we can do that with our amazing radio powers!) The New Subs Show on the Forum is now held on the last Friday of the month, and the songs debuted there apply tor the following month. Are you with me? 


That means that we're always looking forward. I'll be spinning a couple of the amazing tracks that Alex curated for us last week. It's gonna be a good month! If you'd like to make a request, just drop me a line at mike(at)rechargedradio.com. If you'd like to become an honorary California citizen, drop me a line at the same address. And if you'd like to hear all this great music—simply tune in to the Tuesday Night Diner, Tuesday night, 8:00-10:00 p.m. (GMT), 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, only at Recharged Radio—www.rechargedradio.com. This note also appears in the News section on the home page of RechargedRadio.com.  


See you then!
