The Lost Radio Rounders, an Albany based acoustic trio dedicated to providing Upstate New York with historical acoustic American music will be offering four free live performances this summer, the first coming up on Tuesday, July 22 at Bethlehem Library in Delmar.
The group features Tom Lindsay on guitar and vocals, Michael Eck on mandolin, ukulele and guitar, and Paul Jossman on banjo, vocals, and guitar.
Tom Lindsay is an educator, having taught New York State Cultural History, American Music History, audio/video technology, and photography. Michael Eck is a talented songwriter, nationally recognized music critic, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Voter, visual artist, and a 2022 inductee to the Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame. Paul Jossman is experienced in the world of American Folk music, having been a founding member of numerous bands like The Star Spangled Washboard Band, Blotto, and Ramblin Jug Stompers. Jossman is also a 2020 inductee to the Capitol Region Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame. Learn more about the band’s background in our profile here.
Along with these free live performances, the Lost Radio Rounders have also created a YouTube project where they post a new live performance video every third day, in order to share more of their work with fans and acoustic music lovers. The trio have a goal of reaching 122 live performance videos posted this year, and each video can be viewed on the Lost Radio Rounders YouTube Channel. Some of the most popular videos have been the Radio Rounders version of “500 Miles” and “The House of the Rising Sun”.
The Radio Rounders perform classic and historical American songs, so it’s fitting that their performance location at the Bethlehem Public Library is just as historic. Bethlehem’s first Public Library dates back to 1913, organized by the Delmar Progress Club. In 1972 however is when the Library established its current location. Today, the library continues to be a vital part of Bethlehem community life.
For a chance to experience classic American folk music and a welcoming community, come see the Radio Rounders July 22 Performance at Bethlehem Library, or attend another one of their other free concerts in the next coming months.
