Billy Wylder
We spoke with the very thoughtful, tuned-in Avi Salloway late last week about music, of course, but he had some important things to say about the moment we’re in right now as a society and a species. In our 30 minute conversation, all of which you can hear in this episode, he explained how he finds a natural synthesis engaging with the world as an activist, artist, human, and spirit bound to planet Earth. I expect you’ll get a sense of that if you see his band, Billy Wylder, this weekend. For now, I’m grateful that he provided a couple tunes, “Great Blue Heron,” featuring Bridget Kearney, and “Vital Signs,” featuring Isa Burke, both from 2018’s Light the Match, an album every bit as timely right now — that’s precisely the sort of generous spirit he is. Enjoy!

From the front-lines at Standing Rock to the archaic streets of Jerusalem, the Sahel Desert to Carnegie Hall, music has been the source of strength for Billy Wylder. The band features Avi Salloway (Bombino/Hey Mama/Avi & Celia) joined by an inspired cast of singular artists who have performed across five continents including concerts at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, Newport Folk Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Montreal Jazz Fest, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center. From 2013-16, Salloway toured the globe with Bombino, the Tuareg guitar hero from Niger, Africa. While on the journey and since returning, Salloway wrote the material on the band’s latest album, Strike the Match (Sand & Gold Records).
