Welcome to Suga in My Bowl radio‘s weekly feature, On The Bandstand, where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests. We’re online weekly and on the air on NYC’s WBAI-FM radio alternate Sunday nights from 11 PM -1 AM. Keep up with us via Facebook, the blog here, or our main website, or Twitter and we’ll keep track of the schedule for you.

We’re off the air this week, but if you missed last week’s show with trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, head over to our archives for that and nearly a decade of past shows. Be sure to tune in next Sunday for a show highlighting performances at the 47th annual International African Arts Festival with an interview with African percussion master and longtime Randy Weston band member Neil Clarke. And we have more listings for you this week.
