Interview

The 2026 Caroga Lake Music Festival is shaping up to be one of the best yet.

2026 is the year of Keegan James! His new song and video, "Sea Level" is out on May 9. He's playing the Local 518 Stage at Tulip Fest that day. Then on May 22, catch him at the next Indie Whims, too.

A trip to Asbury Park, NJ inspires Jeff Brisbin in a big way. Learn about his new music in this new session.

Blending indie folk textures with thoughtful lyricism, Drank the Gold and Benny Bleu bring a compelling double bill to Caffè Lena on May 3.

We find out who the little ones are, and James plays WMHT-TV's cool Steinway piano and has a blast!

We visited with Joseph Sobol who has made music with the words of WB Yeats for the past 40 plus years. He's bringing a special show of music and storytelling to the Irish American Heritage Museum on March 28th.

Hunter Frost brings his new album into the world, "Love, Always." We hear all about the stories he shares on the album in this session.

Ryder and Jon of Dust Bowl Faeries stopped by to play a couple songs, talk about new music, and share with us their new single that was recorded for the AHA TV show on WMHT.

Crys Matthews just won another "Song of the Year" award from Folk Alliance International for her song "Sleeves Up." We talk about that, and more in this session.

Trevor Hutchinson is one of the founding members of the legendary Irish band Lunasa. We talk all about their history, the name, and keeping the flame of traditional Irish music alive, and how they keep it modern and fresh. See the band at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on March 1.
