Sitting with Dave Van Ronk Tribute with David Massengill
Sitting with Gianluca celebrates iconic folk giant Dave Van Ronk, who would have been 85, together with folk singer David Massengill who toured with him for many years. Dave Van Ronk was the center for the 60s folk boom and was mentor to many fresh-faced folk-nick, including a young arrival called Bob Dylan. His knowledge and guitar arrangements of traditional music are legendary
Sitting with Gianluca will be a rotating cast of artists engaging in lively and fascinating conversation and – when they’re musicians – some live music as well. Expect these sit-downs to be more like co-hosts sitting around the record player than interviews.
