The evening of conversation, reminiscence as well as strain with Rosanne Cash during the Moore Theatre Saturday night won't just be the chattier version of the usual one-off concert.
It is also partial of the world-domination tract by National Public Radio.
Just kidding. But NPR is in truth presenting the show. And one of its best-known headlines anchors, Michele Norris, will be pity the theatre with Cash, the Nashville-based, Grammy-honored singer-songwriter, whose father was the late troubadour Johnny Cash.
This special "NPR upon Location" eventuality will also be taped for the one-hour promote special upon NPR part of stations nationwide, commencement Wednesday (air dates as well as times will change by market). And it will be accessible giveaway online during NPR Music (www.npr.org/music).
Cash's winning latest disc, "The List," will positively be the subject of discussion between her as well as Norris during the concert-klatch.
And she will likely sing some of the timeless tunes collected for "The List" — such as "Miss the Mississippi as well as You," "Sea of Heartbreak" (recorded as the duet with Bruce Springsteen), Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country," the folkie fave "500 Miles."
All were upon the list of tunes Johnny Cash drew up for his eldest daughter when she was the teenager. He called it "100 Essential Country Songs" — but, she writes in the disc's program notes, "he could have called it '100 Essential American Songs,' because he included history songs, criticism songs, early folk songs, Delta blues, gospel, Texas swing" as well as more.
Though Cash was not accessible for comment, Norris spoke enthusiastically about the eventuality by phone from NPR domicile in Washington. D.C., where she co-hosts the network's sacred every night headlines program, "All Things Considered."
"This is something some-more as well as some-more headlines organizations have been doing, events where we entice an assembly to come suffer an interview! format that's roughly similar to the salon," Norris explained.
"There will be songs, we'll take questions from the audience. Rosanne will speak about her new memoir, 'Composed.' She's an extraordinary singer, the pleasing writer. She's the daughter as well as stepdaughter of dual strong women [Vivian Liberto as well as June Carter Cash]. And she's really much the musical anthropologist, who understands the denunciation of music, as well as how it fits into the larger informative narrative."
Communing with musicians (as well as politicians, writers, as well as alternative scene makers) is something Norris obviously enjoys about her NPR post.
She began her career as the imitation publisher during The Washington Post as well as alternative newspapers, then outlayed 8 years working for ABC News.
"I was regularly the stone-cold air wave fanatic though," she says. "I was lifted in Minneapolis by dual air wave fans, as well as we was forced to listen — as my dual young kids have been now!"
When she got the call about the radio-hosting job, Norris noted, "It was the small similar to removing the call from the major leagues! we had such bend for NPR ... It was the universe of yes, where we could do all kinds of things. As an interviewer it was the place where we could get to the sixth as well as seventh subject with the subject — which we generally were not able to do in television."
