Area News Headlines from CMU Public Radio

Soundstage: Sugarland
Thursday, July 2 at 10 p.m.

Jennifer Nettles’ voice can hold its own in any setting, but exceeds expectations alongside partner Kristian Bush’s mandolin strumming at SOUNDSTAGE’s Grainger Studio. During this sensational hour, Sugarland presents a versatile set that gains momentum with each song. “Joey” is heartbreakingly sincere; the tongue-and-cheek “Steve Earle” reveals strong, twangy vocals; and broken-down acoustics give “Genevieve” a more traditional country sound. The dynamic duo’s forte is to transition effortlessly from energetic pop songs to heartfelt, soulful ballads without skipping a beat. During their set, they also present older classics like “Baby Girl” and even venture into covers of R.E.M to pay homage to shared Atlanta roots.


Summer Nights Film Festival:
Little Shop of Horrors (Jonathan Haze, Jack Nicholson)

Friday, June 3 at 9 p.m.

Jonathan Haze, Jack Nicholson.  This cult comedy, shot in a mind-boggling two-and-a-half days, is a delightful grab bag of goofy gags and kooky characters.


A Capitol Fourth
Saturday, June 4 at 8 p.m.

The star-studded cast of the 29th annual concert from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol will include Aretha Franklin, the “Queen of Soul;” Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-nominated singer and actress Vanessa Williams; international pop sensation Natasha Bedingfield; the Tony and Grammy Award-winning cast of Jersey Boys; multi-Grammy Award-nominee Michael Feinstein; and acclaimed classical pianist Andrew von Oeyen with the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of America’s Prince of Pops, Erich Kunzel. As a special treat for the entire family, Elmo, Big Bird and the rest of the “Sesame Street” gang will also be on hand to celebrate America’s 233rd birthday.


Nature: The Vanishing Lions
Sunday, July 5 at 8 p.m.

As Africa's largest predator, the lion should have nothing to fear. In fact, the king of the savannah faces an uncertain future, with numbers down to less than 30,000. Lion experts, farmers and Masai herdsmen try to figure out why.
