About the Show

Summer Dorr says music--with lyrics talking and sounds emoting-- is one of her joy sources. MusicMUSIC! near always in her ears.

"I find this steadfast pleasure in introducing or reminding others of bands/singer-songwriters/talents, who, I suspect, will one day be that much more embraced, appreciated, heard and loved. This show, if it has a core, is folk. Ah, but music deemed "folk" has many wonderful avenues it hangs out in, such as: folk-techno, “freak folk," alternative country, experimental, pop, and, well, spectrum-of-goodness et cetera…. The show will be a tad eclectic, but with lovely palatable tunes I hope many look up again after a listen!"

In also, Dorr's other time-holders include: writing and directing an independent film, Dissection of an Olive; working at the Potsdam Co-op; continuing her MFA in Creative Writing/Screenwriting; reading fictitious books; and guitar practicing.
