Special guests on Blues Moon Radio on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2017 include traditional South Carolina furniture makers and Laura Green, Folklife director at the University of South Carolina's McKissick Museum and South Carolina Arts Commission.
We'll play some songs about the subject and learn about the craftsmanship of artisans who create handmade, one-of-a-kind artifact furniture that is featured in McKissick Museum's year-long exhibit that kicked off in September as part of their annual FolkFabulous celebration.
Tune in from 6-7 p.m. to hear stories about this time-honored craft, and stay for the rest of the show, which will highlight some of the best songs about furniture for your listening pleasure.

From his bio at DavisCoen.com:
"Coen has been touring the U.S. since his teens, either as a solo guitar and vocal act, or commonly accompanied by bass and drums configuration. He most commonly appears at clubs, bars, and festivals throughout the Southeast and mid-south; of recent note, twice billing at the historic King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Arkansas. He has also enjoyed a dozen tours of Europe, promoting nine album releases. He has shared a bill or opened for many of the classic blues artists who influenced his music; including James Cotton, Junior Wells, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Koko Taylor, Big Jack Johnson, T-Model Ford, and David “Honeyboy” Edwards."
See him whenever you get a chance - in the meantime, we're always happy to point out our recommendations for entertainment locally:
