Joan Shelley headlines WFPK Live Lunch at the Red Barn

Local artists Joan Shelley and Elephant Micah will perform at WFPK’s “Live Lunch” program at the Red Barn Friday, Sept. 18.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and the live broadcast starts at noon. UofL’s Student Activities Board and the Red Barn Alumni Association sponsor the show. Joan Shelley is a singer/songwriter that channels old time country and folk music. She recently released a new album, “Over and Even.” Eclectic style, multi-instrumentalist, Elephant Micah, will open the show. His latest LP, “Where in Our Woods,” is on sale now. SAB will offer attendees a free grilled lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks. UofL students and employees can attend free of charge, but they need valid UofL IDs for entry. A limited number of seats are reserved for pre-registered Louisville Public Media members. Remaining seats are first come, first serve. “Live Lunch” is a weekly concert produced by WFPK. The program features local acts or groups that are in town for performances later the evening of the broadcast. SAB has partnered with the radio station since 2009 to host a few “Live Lunch” broadcasts at the Red Barn each year.
