Welcome to Local Resonance, I'm Kevin Murphy. Local Resonance is WYCE's new program dedicated to West Michigan's music scene. Local Resonance doesn't just play music from local artists - instead, we like to say that we tell the stories of people in our community through the music in their lives. That means that we'll take a look at music that's produced and created locally, but we'll also feature live music events from local, national and international acts, and we'll take a look at music of all kinds that the people of West Michigan are listening to. This week, it's our Festival preview show. This weekend Grand Rapids celebrates its Festival of the Arts in and around Calder Plaza, with dozens of local acts taking the stage. We'll hear music from some of those bands, go over some of the highlights of the performance schedule, and talk live with one of the artists performing at Festival: this week's in-studio guest Rebekah Rhys. To get started, we'll hear a few tracks representing the breadth of talent and style that will be on display at Festival. We'll start with some acoustic roots music from Winter/Sessions, then some indie rock from Simien the Whale, and a bit of local bluegrass from Lare Williams and new directions. First, Winter/Sessions. This is Local Resonance on WYCE.
