Youth Meets Experience
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Russell Sherman is known as a skilled pianist and probing musician and teacher, and usually has an original take on any work he plays. But he's always charted a career slightly off the beaten virtuoso path. Find out why as he joins us in advance of his 75th birthday. Also on the show: young alternative-rocker Joseph Arthur, who was discovered by Peter Gabriel in the mid-'90s and soon signed to his Real World label. After several albums of country-rock and Americana, his latest outing, "Come to Where I'm From," finds him combining whimsical studio experimentation with confessional, literate lyrics.
