Tonight, we honor Steve Winwood (photo) who burst upon the world stage at age 19 in 1967 with the Spencer Davis Group. Later, he anchored the groups Traffic and Blind Faith. On this week's show, DJ Andy Bargerstock offers two tracks from the John Barleycorn, LP (1970) as well as a more recent track from Nine Lives, CD (2008). Early in the show, you'll also hear an exotic underground music track from Touch (1969), "Down at Circe's Place"(album art right). Listen closely for Winwood's and Brian Auger's versions of Auger's song, "No Time to Live." Treat for the ears.

When the ladies sweep across the stage, you'll hear new FT tracks from Meg Hutchinson, Imogen Heap, The Weepies and an unpublished up-and-coming artist named Vanessa Hayes. You don't want to miss this set. As the night progresses into legendary Fringe Toast chill-out session, you'll be transported to surreal worlds through the music of Supervielle, Theivery Corporation, Telepopmusik, Sounds from the Ground, Potlatch, Sven Van Hees, and Ishq. What a delightful way to spring toward the weekend! Play list posted under Programs -> Fringe Toast -> Sept 9, 2009.
