The Lone Bellow Performs; Brooklyn-Caribbean Artist Alvaro Barrington; Music and Resilience; Mike Birbiglia's Netflix Special

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 29, 2023

 

Brooklyn-based Americana trio The Lone Bellow, consisting of members Zach Williams, Kanene Donehey Pipkin and Brian Elmquist, joins us to perform live in studio ahead of their three-night run at Rockwood Musical Hall to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut self-titled album.

 

There's new work from artist Alvaro Barrington on view at Nicola Vassell in Chelsea. Barrington was born in Caracas to parents from Grenada in Haiti. He was raised between Brooklyn and the Caribbean, and his new show, Alvaro Barrington: Island Life, references his Caribbean roots, specifically his paintings of the hibiscus flower. Barrington joins us to discuss the exhibition, which is on view through December 21.

 

Robin Spielberg is a composer, music therapy advocate, and founder of the Mindful Music Association. She joins us to discuss her work and perform songs from her latest album, By Way of the Wind, live in our studio.

 

[REBROADCAST FROM Dec. 8, 2022] Comedian Mike Birbiglia was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes some time ago. He chronicles his attempts to reverse that diagnosis by taking up swimming in his hilarious new one-man show, "The Old Man & the Pool." Birbiglia joins us to discuss the show, which has now been made into a Netflix special.
