The next episode will be taped on site Thursday, Feb. 9, beginning at 7 p.m., when Stephen Foster and Bryan Moore will showcase some of their most recent songwriting endeavors before a live studio audience.

Foster, currently based out of Buffalo, is an Ashville native and has been actively playing and performing for 15 years. He considers himself a hybrid musician, blending classic folk, blues, bluegrass and country styles while mixing in his own unique sound. His lyrics tell stories of struggle, triumph, love and heartbreak; winding through the ups and downs, and twists and turns, that life can take.

“Stephen is a songwriter that I’ve watched develop since he was very young, as our families have been friends for a long time,” said Bill Ward, program host. “A lot of what he does is straight out of the Americana vein. He started writing and recording at a young age and has been involved in several efforts, including one that was out in Denver. He’s also done some work on a movie, and I’m very excited to be able to ask him about that.”

Having appeared on the program previously, Moore will make his return to perform some new material. Ward was complimentary of Moore’s playing style and stage presence, and indicated that Moore may either be performing solo or alongside the members of his band DirtTrackRacing.

“Every time Bryan plays he always brings a high-energy, eclectic presentation,” Ward said. “It’s always interesting to see what one of the area’s more edgy folk-rock songwriters is up to at the moment.”

This month’s broadcast will also spotlight Compassion International, an organization who exists to match sponsors with children in need throughout the world. They do this by “releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name” through a holistic approach to Child Development. Speaking on behalf of Compassion International will be Sue Ann Holler, a sponsor and Compassion International Advocate.
