Though the music may have come from Studio Three—since Studio
Five was filled with volunteers taking pledges for KFAI’s Spring pledge drive—there
was still plenty of music happening on “Live From Studio Five!” this week.
There were two in-studio music guests: singer-songwriters Andra Suchy and Jenny
Dalton, who filled the airwaves with beautiful tunes courtesy of the acoustic
guitar and auto-harp, respectively. Joining Andra and Jenny were Doug the Thug,
Dewglass, and a newcomer to the show, Nicole Jean Rode, who co-hosted for the
first time.
Andra kicked things off, playing songs off her albums Patchwork Story and Little Heart, the latter of which is her latest. She offered up
tunes like “Libertine” and “Georgiana,” which was actually written by her
father Chuck Suchy, a folk musician himself. Andra’s brother and sister are
also musicians, and she spoke a bit about what it was like to grow up in such a
musical family out in the rural area of Mandan, North Dakota.
Later on, Jenny Dalton took over and played a bunch of songs
on her auto-harp—tunes like “When I’m Gone” and others off her albums Blood Folk, Rusalka’s Umbrella, and Fleur
de Lily. Jenny pointed out that she generally plays the keys, but she
wanted to bring the auto-harp to get a bit closer to her dream of playing a
guitar. Doug the Thug said it might actually be a zither—“a zither with cheater
buttons,” to be specific. But lacking clear answers in that regard, the music proceeded.
Doug the Thug also played a few tracks from the Live From
Studio 5! Compilation CD, a 19-track disc that comes as a gift to anyone who
contributes $35 during the station’s pledge drive. To make a pledge of your
