Tune in to BIRN1 on Saturday, September 15 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for the first BIRN Alive session of the fall semester featuring singer/songwriter Aizhou.
Beijing-born and Shanghai-raised, Aizhou grew up in a richly multicultural environment, something like megacities and a fusion of Chinese and Western culture. Something about how this impacts her outlook on things and shines through in the music she produces. The show starts at 4PM EST.
Listen to the live session and interview HERE.

Irish songwriter David Keenan stopped by BIRN Alive on June 13, in advance of his show at The Red Room at Cafe 939, for a performance that included the songs “A Corner Boys Lament” and “Lawrence of Arkadia.”
Keenan is “a young artist who uses his lyrics to paint pictures with words on canvases of silence, curating a body of work which is steeped in the poetic tradition of old but delivered in such a way that is entirely his own.” He is currently on a tour of the East Coast. His live shows have been described as visceral and spiritual and he advocates expression through all forms possible.

Story by Allie Kersten
Nick Cave has had a career more versatile than most. He’s more than a triple threat as a singer-songwriter, author, composer, screenwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and even an actor. He’s led the bands The Birthday Party (formerly The Boys Next Door), Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and Grinderman, as well as his own solo career. Cave is most known for his contributions to the post-punk, gothic rock, alternative rock, experimental rock, and garage rock genres. His sound is exposed, of course, in his personal music that he has released with his multiple groups, but his trace can be found in the soundtracks of films such as Dogs in Space, The Soul of A Man, Batman Forever, The X-Files, Shrek 2, and Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Cave has built quite the reputation in the entertainment world since he began his music career. Continue reading “Win Tickets to “So, What Do You Want To Know?” Conversations With Nick Cave, May 1”
