WEFT Sessions 2019 Year-in-Review


Every year since 2003 we've had a year-end show that recapped the live performances on WEFT Sessions. For 2003 and 2004, Mike Ingram, who has been booking performers onto the show since forever, compiled and hosted the show as a "best of". Since 2006 Mike Feldman, who engineers and archives the shows, has compiled 4 hours of music consisting of one song from each live performance. This year continues that tradition, and includes tracks from "encore shows" that we played on Mondays when there was no live music.
