A special Valentine treat on today's Live in Studio A...
If you were around in Baltimore in the 1990s, and you were into indie bands, then you were a fan of Love Riot. The folk-rock quintet's career included tours and recordings and music videos and great popular acclaim.
And in 1999, they took a break. A pretty long break. Like a 27-year long break.
And now, they’re back....with a new CD and two shows celebrating love and connection on this Valentine’s Day weekend.
Love Riot is here with Live in Studio A to play a couple of love songs... and share a few tracks from their new CD, Nothing is Etched in Stone.
Lisa Mathews is the group's co-founder and lead singer…also with us is Mikel Gehl on acoustic guitar and backing vocals; Mark Evanko on bass guitar, Ron Campbell on percussion and backing vocals, and Willem Elsevier, on mandolin and violin.
Love Riot will play a show Friday night at the Collective Encore in Columbia, Maryland, and on Saturday afternoon — Valentine’s Day — they’ll play at Star Bright Farm in White Hall.
