Steal Your Song: Recent Episodes
WEHC
Brothers and sisters, music history buffs, song catchers, old heads, new heads, dead heads and fans of American Roots and beyond. The host, Leigh Anne Hunter, was exposed to the Grateful Dead and began going to their shows around age eleven. As she's gone through life, she's realized with delight, how many songs-be they traditional, blues, jug band, bluegrass and more, that she was already familiar with because of the Dead and Jerry Garcia. "Hey! I know that!" Steal Your Song is the show dedicated to Grateful Dead song interpretations AND the original sources. After all, back in 1967, Jerry said of the band, “We’re clever thieves, steal from a lot of places, and rearrange…We’ve been getting into stealing classical licks, anything we hear!” So join Leigh Anne, and listen to the Grateful Dead AND dig into the musicians that inspired them.
