Folk Marathon: Mama Tried LIVE
By WTJU
Date: 02/10/2024
Time: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Mama Tried makes its annual trek to WTJU on the sixth day of the Folk Marathon for two hours of high-energy versions of early Grateful Dead songs, plus their own impressive material, with a heavy accent on improvisation.
This is a free event, open to all. You can also listen on the radio (91.1 FM) or on-line, and even video stream it at WTJU’s Facebook page or YouTube channel. But concerts always sound better with you as part of the studio audience.
Mama Tried is a 5-piece band from Charlottesville, Va., with Susan Munson on guitar and vocals, Charlie Pastorfield on guitar and vocals, Stuart Holme on bass, Kent Raine on drums, and Sam Johnston on keys, vocals and harmonica. These five play high-energy versions of early Grateful Dead songs, plus their own impressive material, with a heavy accent on improvisation.
