steve miller(See link to play list at bottom). Sounding better than ever vocally, Steve Miller (photo) and his band just released a new CD, "Bingo!" and on this week's show you will hear two tracks. Paul fairport conventionMcCartney returns with additional tracks from CD, Flaming Pie.  Johnsmith (recent Fairfield performer) offers two tracks from CD, Traveler.  But, hold tight, for UK legendary  folk-rock band, Fairport Convention (photo), performing Fringe Toast favorite 1970-track, "Sloth", an epic nine-minute commentary on the folly of war.  It's the extended instrumental segments that will carry you away.

DJ Andy Bargerstock corrals several new artists into the Fringe Toast circle.  Among them are: Under the Influence of Giants (Aaron Bruno and his LA bandmates), Rosi Golan (American-Israeli songwriter), Rosie Burgess (who played Fairfield this week), The Jayhawks (alternative country-rock), Ruth Moody (Australian living in Canada), The Frames (Glen Hansard's alter ego).  Listen early for new track from Alanis Morrissette and late in the show, the incomparable Tonto's Expanding Head Band, the electronic duo who brought sophisticated synthetizer music to the contemporary scene in the early 1970s.  CHILL!  Click here for play list.
