WFUV Summer Feastival On Memorial Day Presents 12 Hours Of Finest FUV LIVE Performances

WFUV (90.7 FM/wfuv.org), New York's Music Discovery station, celebrates Memorial Day with its first-ever Summer Feastival - 12 hours of non-stop performances recorded at venues ranging from Forest Hills Stadium to Rockwood Music Hall as part of the station's signature FUV Live series - much as WFUV presents its annual Thanksgiving Feastival in November.

The broadcast marathon begins on Monday at 10 a.m. with Glen Hansard recorded at The Sheen Center in Greenwich Village and concludes from 8-10 p.m. with Jack Johnson's epic 2017 concert at Forest Hills Stadium. In between there will be performances by I'm With Her (the trio formed by Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan), Brandi Carlile, Calexico, The Breeders, Lake Street Dive, and many others.

"With the summer festival season just getting underway, this is our virtual, on-air festival for holiday listening," said WFUV Program Director Rita Houston. "Live music is a fundamental part of what we do, and every year our FUV Live series captures dozens of hours of on-location performances, most of them exclusively for WFUV members in intimate venues. Our Monday lineup is really the cream of the crop."

The Summer Feastival is also a prelude to the 2018 Summer of FUV series, which will bring live broadcasts from Forest Hills Stadium and BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival.
The complete Summer Feastival schedule is:

10AM- Glen Hansard at The Sheen Center 11AM- I'm With Her at Fordham University Church 12PM- Brandi Carlile at Rockwood Music Hall 1PM- Calexico at Rockwood Music Hall 2PM- Joe Henry at Rockwood Music Hall 3PM- Lissie at Rockwood Music Hall 4PM- Field Report at Rockwood Music Hall 5PM- Sunflower Bean at Rockwood Music Hall 6PM- Natalie Prass at SXSW Public Radio Day Stage 6:30PM- The Breeders at Rockwood Music Hall 7PM- Lake Street Dive at The Sheen Center 8PM- Jack Johnson at Forest Hills Stadium
