The Wild Rose Moon Radio Hour will feature the Celtic folk band, Soltre, during this week’s program.

Featuring the original songs of Adam Carter, Sean Ellsworth-Hoffman, Eric Fiechtner, and the bass
stylings of Nathan Waddill, the band lets loose with a cavalcade of singing styles and song forms in a
demonstration of their musical virtuosity. 

During the show, you’ll hear Eric Fiechtner share the Irish song style described as, Sean-nós, a highly ornamented style of Irish solo singing.  The song titled, Weary of Lying Alone, tells the story of a young woman afraid of dying unmarried.  Sean Ellsworth-Hoffman renders a beautiful ballad, Tonight I’m Goin’ Northbound, about the beautiful wilds of Alaska while Adam Carter shares a touching piece, modeled on love ballads of old. 

During the break, Doug Harsch, the prolific songwriter-performer from South Bend, Indiana shares one of his originals entitled, The Girl Who Waits for Me.

The Wild Rose Moon Radio Hour is recorded in front of a live audience that is invited to participate in
the show.  During the program audience members have the chance to be chosen for the Shoot the
Moon Quiz Show which features four questions related to the featured guest’s biography.  It’s all
happening in Historic Downtown Plymouth, at Wild Rose Moon’s Little Moon Theater, 115 North
Michigan Street.
