North Carolina's Chris Stamey, the accomplished singer, songwriter, arranger and producer, visits "Cavalcade" at 8 p.m. for conversation and new songs performed in Studio A. Stamey's latest album came out last year, Anything is Possible, which he produced and recorded in Chapel Hill.
Early on, Chris fell in with Alex Chilton, Peter Holsapple, Mitch Easter, and Scott Litt, and carries some of that legacy forward. He's had acclaimed stage shows and was part of a live concert film and album, Thank You Friends: Big Star's Third Live ... and More, which included members of R.E.M .and Big Star's Jody Stephens.
With Holsapple, Chris helped launch The dB's, and also produced Pylon, Whiskeytown, and Alejandro Escovedo. Stamey's many musical association also include collaborations with Yo La Tengo and the Lemon Twigs.
A musical storyteller, his range includes alternative rock, Broadway-style show tunes and standards. In this "Cavalcade" session, he played a set that draws on his broad legacy, including the new "I'd Be Lost Without You," "Meet Me in Midtown," and "After All This Time," as well as a Brian Wilson classic, "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder."
That's "Cavalcade," Sundays from 6-9 p.m. on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
