Carnegie Hall today announced the lineup for the fifth season of its WFUV Live at Zankel series. This season includes a double bill with singer/songwriter Dan Wilson and Americana-infused folk-rock band, Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons (October 10); country star, Shelby Lynne (December 12); and folk icon, Richie Havens (February 19).

WFUV’s Music Director, Rita Houston, curates the series with Carnegie Hall and serves as host for the concerts. Carnegie Hall’s WFUV Live at Zankel, which began in October 2005 as City Folk® Live at Zankel, is based on WFUV’s pioneering City Folk® format which blends adult rock, singer-songwriters, and roots music. Artists who have performed as part of the series include the bird and the bee, Rosanne Cash, Marc Cohn, Cowboy Junkies, Kathleen Edwards and John Doe, Alejandro Escovedo, Nick Lowe, Gary Louris and Mark Olson, Nellie McKay, Joan Osborne, Jane Siberry, and Suzanne Vega.

WFUV (90.7 FM, wfuv.org) WFUV is a non-commercial, listener-supported public radio station, licensed to Fordham University for 60 years. Serving nearly 300,000 listeners each week in the New York area and thousands more worldwide on the web, and a leader in contemporary music radio, WFUV offers an eclectic mix of rock, singer-songwriters, blues, world and other music, plus headlines from National Public Radio, local news and sports.

Carnegie Hall presents nearly 200 performances each season by the world's greatest soloists, ensembles, and orchestras on its three great stages—the renowned Isaac Stern Auditorium/Ronald O. Perelman Stage, intimate Weill Recital Hall, and innovative Zankel Hall. The establishment of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall in 2003 and The Academy—a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education—in 2007 has paved the way for expanded opportunities as Carnegie Hall moves forward as an international cultural center representing the very best in musical performance, artist development, and arts education.
