Border Radio launch monthly show in LA April 3

Kelly McCune and her Americana string band, Border Radio, launch their
monthly show, “Roots & Twang Night at Molly Malone’s,” on Sunday, April 3.
They will host the show every first Sunday of the month through December.
The Sunday evening shows will feature established and up-and-coming roots
Americana and string bands from the greater Los Angeles area.

On April 3 the featured bands, in addition to Border Radio, will be The Get Down
Boys and Cliff Wagner & the Old Number 7. The Get Down Boys play highenergy
bluegrass, both originals and tunes from the traditional songbook. Cliff
Wagner is well established on the Los Angeles acoustic music scene, playing
what Cliff calls “bluegrass infused honky-tonk.” They competed on FOX TV’s
“The Next Great American Band” and finished 7th out of 8,000 bands, a surprise
to everyone given the style of music.

McCune, an Oklahoma native, describes Border Radio’s style as "rural tin pan
alley." Much of their music is original Americana influenced by folk, old-time
country, and Western swing. McCune's voice defines the sound, and she has
been compared to Patsy Cline and k.d. lang.

“Roots & Twang Night at Molly Malone’s” launches on April 3, 2011, at 7 p.m.
Each band will play one set. Tickets at the door are $10, cash, 21 years of age
and older. The address of Molly Malone’s is 575 S. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles,
90048 and the phone number is (323) 935-1577.
